I can't wait. *smirk*
Really, Lee, if I were judging, I'd call it a tie.

Kerrie asked:
//but did anyone else think that Spike/the First looked a lot younger than Spike in Never Leave Me? And, if you did, was that supposed to show that being evil keeps you young?\\
Kerrie, I thought the same thing. I'm glad someone else noticed it to.

I just posted my response to your round two. Yours was great!! Mine, so-so. While reading yours, I found myself thinking...."Man, that is good!" and "I definitely agree with that! and so on.
Why, oh why, do you have to be so good?

Quick question for you two... I don't want to interrupt your argument but I'd like to ask Diane a question about something she said during her first round. Should I hold it until you're down with rebuttals or just post away?

Post away but I would post the question here - if I may dare speak for Diane.
I think what we're going to do (correct me if I'm wrong Diane) is stop for right now and let y'all read over them (if you want) and then continue to debate if there is a need to.
Diane's debates are quite excellent and articulate. Mine are basically "Buffy is human and that is that." I thought I had a really good handle on this subject but as I wrote (or attempted to write) I don't think I was able to get my meaning across. Oh, well. Them's the breaks!

Rae, I just read your question about Diane's first post. I agree with you - in fact, that was one of the points I was going to bring up in my original post but silly me forgot to even mention it. See what I was talking about in my above post?
I might revise the posts but that will probably only happen if the S'cubies decide they want our "Point/Counterpoint" on the website.

I am feeling a little invisible lately. Was it something I said?
Actually, I don't have much time to post these days and I think I have PBDS. Waiting for the last episode is like waiting for the firing squad to load their rifles. Just hurry up and shoot me and get it over with!
Of course I forgive you.

Rae:
In response to your question about Buffy's abilities being a "quirk" - I don't think that being a Slayer is genetic. By that I mean, I don't think that if Buffy has a daughter then she will be a Potential. I think a Slayer's potential is something that is inside of them that a higher power (be it God, The Powers that Be, whatever) grants them. Once they are choosen, this "quirk" is activated (I guess that would be the best word). I think the Potentials have this "quirk" in them that may or may not be realized, depending on if they are called. Certain girls are born with this gift but only a select few will ever ever know its full realization. I think this quirk manifests itself early - allows the girls to be more coordinated than others, or quick on their feet, etc. Only when a Slayer is called does the full strength and abilities kick in.
I don't know if this answers your question at all and I have probably talked in circles.

I'm prepared to stop and let everyone read and judge. I think Lee's arguments are wonderful. She makes me THINK! Ow.

Excellent. It answers it perfectly.
It leads to an interesting point that over on Angel, the Powers That Be wouldn't given Cordelia powers without making her a demon. Of course, Joss is now making us question the validity of that example now that Skip has hinted that his boss had a plan all along.

Who was that voice? Seriously, Rusty, I've missed you. Please don't let your PBDS keep you from posting. We all have it and are forming a support group.

Cordelia's powers came from being made demonic--so do Buffy's. It was demonic energy that the Shamen used to create the first Slayer and that they were going to use to enhance Buffy's power.

I think you're right!! Season 7 Spike has been less "made up" which makes him seem slightly older . .
His eyebrows have been left their natural colour, and his eyes have not had any enhancing, and his face is less powdered. He has a more 'natural' look.
First Evil Spike has the powder-white face, darkened eyebrows, and slight eyeliner wich, in my opinion, makes him seem younger.
and the contrast between them is interesting. The First Evil chooses to look like spike from his "evil" days.

//Alyson looks simply amazing. Michelle T. really went all-out for this, no? //
If you ask me, Alyson ALWAYS looks amazing.I'll bet she's one of those people who simply looks hot with bedhead and no makeup in the morning.
As for Michelle, oh, yes, she went all-out. Very little was left in on that girl.
