Backing up, here.

An Andrew documentary. This will go well, I'm thinking. (Also? The puppy has always struck me as a little dodgy? Heee!)

I'm going back and forth on what they're doing with the magic. Letting it flow, not impeding it, to hide the magic signature - this seems smart. But giving up the magic of the slayers? I'm not sure if they should go that far . . . And learning to fight well even if you don't have your slayer powers, probably a good idea. But are they risking losing them forever? And we're sort of in Cruciamentum territory a bit, aren't we? Except that this time, they know what's going on and they are doing it, even if grudgingly, of their own choice. Which is an important difference.

Something tells me that Xander's line about "Humans point to the danger, not the safe" is rather fateful.

What if not telling Willow makes her evil? What if telling her makes her evil? What if nothing you do makes a difference of her going evil or not? Can you change the future? (I say, yes! Nothing's inevitable as long as you stand up, look it in the eye, and say 'your evitable!')

Giles agreeing with Andrew?! Man. He is worried about Willow. (Andrew's little drawing of dark!Willow and him and Jonathan, on the other hand? Heeee! ;D )

Without the poison, what am I? Oh, Willow! Remember the badness that comes from thinking you are only worth as much as your magic can do, or your computer skills can do, etc. etc. Remember your inherent worth!! Also? "Pretending you're a normal person"?! You got issues, girl! Issues that are starting to mirror Buffy's issues, ("normal" life), which shouldn't surprise us, I guess.

Vanishing cat, not so good I'm thinking.

Best lines:
"He's taking the time to just sit with his friend Buffy and yak." Because there's a yak!!
