yep, that is indeed one of my least favourite words. Glad you caught it before it slipped out Vlad. WG

I don't use emoticons, either. Didn't anybody notice?

Patti - So you think James not wearing underwear gave Marti ideas? But why is this icksome? It gives me ideas too, and plenty of them. Speaking of which, I am home from work today, and it's past 9 AM, and I'm still not wearing any underwear! Time to go get fully dressed and venture out into MY world. I never watch Buffy in the morning, 'cause I'm at work, but I thought to turn on FX, and was pleasantly surprised to see OMWF on! My favorite songs are James' song, Tony's song, the Tony & Amber duet, the whole cast's "Walk through the Fire" . . . also like Nick & Emma's number. But my favorite part? That kiss at the end, of course!! Edited By Spring Summers at 4/23/2003 9:30:00 AM.

Diane - I noticed the lack of emoticons, but I didn't want to embarrass you by pointing out this failing. But don't worry about it. Now, if you don't wear underwear, and nobody notices, that is something to worry about. :-)

Underwear? All I've got on is a bathrobe. Too sick to think of any clothes (but WILL have to venture out a little bit. Nothing here for breakfast, and I think you're supposed to feed a cold...)*cough*

Diane, I do hope you get to feeling better soon! Here's a "get better" hug - *hug*! I must say, I'm surprised by the response we've had to our little debate - honestly didn't think anyone would check it out. Hmmm....I think we should do another. I'm not saying right now since you're sick but I would love to debate you again! You're one of the best debate partners I've had. Anyway, I so hope you feel better soon! **blows a big kiss Diane's way** -L :-)

My overtaxed brain finds it all but impossible to distinguish among a long list of identically titled posts to figure out who said what to whom when. Please give your posts a semi-unique title, and perhaps refer to the number of the post to which you're replying, even if, like me, you sometimes get both WRONG. Nan Dibble

Just read the shooting script for "Dirty Girls" and it is interseting that Anya was actually supposed to be in the background of the scene where Buffy first addresses everyone about seeking out Caleb. From the shooting script: Oh boy. Do we have a full house. Buffy addresses the group. So it is: Xander, Willow, Giles, Spike, Dawn, Kennedy, Rona, Amanda, Vi, Molly, Chao Ahn, ANYA and Andrew. Wonder why she is in all caps. Also... After seeing the Bringer and Faith makes her comment about them having sonar, she was supposed to say: "FAITH They say your other senses get better. Maybe all blind people are smokin' in a knife fight." Does anyone remember if she actually said it? Wonder if it's a hint as to how Xander's senses will develop in the last few episodes. And, finally, as a Spike & Buffy shipper... I'm a little annoyed that they cut out the last part of the Buffy/Faith Angel convo since it got back to Buffy being jealous about Spike & Faith's bedroom... err basement scene earlier.

Lee and Diane, you did an excellent debate and it seems you both had fun doing it, and readers had fun reading it. A thought re Buffy's NOT being human: Vampires start out as human. Something mystical happens to them as a result of being exposed to demonic energies (specifically a demonic soul that ousts their human soul at physical death by exsanguination), whereupon they become vampires, with extraordinary strength and quickness, and swift healing from any injury not immediately fatal. Human to look at, they undergo a physical transformation when acting as vampires, drinking the blood of humans and other warm-blooded vertebrates which they require for survival. It is effectively their only food. They can be killed only by certain methods that in effect separate them from the resident center of the demonic energy that animates them--apparently in the heart and brain: vampires can be killed by a wooden stake in the heart, by beheading, by fire. They can also be seriously injured by holy water, crosses, and other religious symbols and artifacts. They combust and burn if exposed to direct sunlight. Unless so killed, a vampire is potentially immortal. They are not subject to illness or infection. However, since they are physically dead, they are sterile, absent the miraculous exception of Angelus + Darla producing Connor. Slayers start out as human. Once exposed to demonic energies (per the chaining ritual as anciently practiced) one teenaged girl in a generation becomes a Slayer. Slayers have enhanced senses, super-human strength and agility, and heal quickly from any injury not immediately fatal. Once "called," they are Slayers 24/7--no transformation is involved. Slayers burn out quickly, typically falling in a battle with a vampire within 5 years of their being called. They eat human food and are subject to illness/infection. They take no particular strength from religious objects that may nevertheless serve as weapons. We do not know what the "calling" agency or methodology may be, except that it appears not to be human: no human agency can "create" a slayer (though the Initiative tried). Slayers are fertile (Slayer Nikki bore son Robin) but rarely have children because of their psychological isolation and their short lives. An argument could be made that Slayers are at the half-way point of becoming vampires, with some of the same strengths and protections, and that this halfway transformation is unstable and causes death, typically within 5 years. It is a mystical transformation and does not involve genetics. Nobody, for instance, is genetically disposed to become a vampire. However, since the full condition of vampirism is not passed from carrier to victim, some genetic disposition may be involved in the population at large to give certain individuals a necessary head start that allows the partially vampiric condition of Slayerhood to be imposed upon them, resulting in the "potentials." But there is nothing genetic at work in a potential becoming the Slayer. Only Destiny and Magic. So the active slayer, Buffy, is not human, though she began that way. She's not as inhuman as a vampire, but is more like a vampire than she is like a normal human girl. It's a difference of degree rather than one of kind. And she feels that difference keenly and reacts to it in her choice of lovers.... Nan Dibble

I guess my title says it all. Darn, I hate it when I do that. But seriously, I agree with you David: "Don't mean to sound like I'm dissin' James' performance. Frankly, it did make me want to hear more, like maybe something from Ghost of the Machine. And the lyrics were good, too. I dunno, it was something in the pacing that just felt a little off to me. Out of all the songs in the musical, that was the one that worked the least for me. Rest In Peace is a rock ballad when it wants to be rockin' out. I love the part where he rhymes over and over and over again, but I wanted more Metallica and less Bon Jovi. Is that really Marti Noxon who isn't wearing underwear? I can't believe I didn't know. I mean, it looks like her, but... cool.

Okay folks, it's midday and you have all left me. Hmmph. Oh well, I will have to amuse myself. Is Angel new tonight? I watched the one you all saw last week last night, so at least now,(or for the next 8 hours or so,) I am on the same page as the rest of you. Here's hoping that they toss a rerun in at some point or that the New RO shows two episodes in the same week, so that I won't have to avoid spoilers all the way until the end of the season. Darn it! The S'cubie page is blocked out by the firewall at work. So much for amusing myself by reading all those essays I'm behind on. Oh well, time to take a look at my fic again. (And a big thank you to Nan the super-editor, your changes look fantastic.) Watergal

//Is that really Marti Noxon who isn't wearing underwear? I can't believe I didn't know. I mean, it looks like her, but... cool.// Yes, that was really Marti as the parking ticket lady. And the mustard guy was another producer, David Fury.
