As I’ve been watching Buffy lately, I’ve been taking “Notes” in Outlook as things occur to me. Below please find my random notes. They may amuse. And if you can shed any light on any of my questions, please feel free!
RANDOM BUFFY NOTES
why a cage in the library?
when do these people sleep?
he marches to the beat of a different drummer. actually, i think he makes his own drums
great, now im gonna be stuck w serious thoughts all day
Becoming
decision to add oz as regular character was made after second season? did they not know at the beginning that he would be a regular? or was it planned for him to come in later?
in what unverse do high school students teach high school classes?
wackiness ensues
you’ll see what i mean
the whole earth may be sucked into hell and you want my help cos your girlfriends a big ho?
have you tried not being a slayer?
why did she kill him at the end, when he had been turned back? my best guess, the vortex was coming to swallow up the world, but somehow would be satisfied w only angel but why? how does that work?
well we know the world didn’t end cos….check it out
mary notes that everytime she kills someone she wears overalls afterwards
pimple on her forehead in final scene on bus
When they tortured Giles, they found out that Angel’s blood was the only one that could open or close the vortex. So that’s why she killed him, but couldn’t she just have cut him a little? Maybe it was too late, or she didn’t want to run the risk of it failing.
Hehe, and I love “wackiness ensues”. Spike cracks me up. ^_^
Why a cage in the library? To lock up warewolf Oz, of course! And all the other crazy creatures they encounter. Maybe Giles special ordered it…you know, instead of a new set of encyclopedias. 😉
What’s ~You’ll see what I mean~
And I think a book could be made from Spike’s lines alone, he’s hilarious!
And yes, she killed him because only his blood would close the vortex. And she killed him instead of cutting him because it’s more dramatic that way.
Spoken like a true writer.
Thank you for those insights.
“You’ll see what I mean” is what the demon Whistler says at the end of part one of Becoming. And I guess we do see, but w Buffy, there’s always so much more to see.
Library Cage
It’s not all that unusual for *college* libraries to have cages, to house their rare books collections. Presumably, Giles would have needed a cage to restrict access to any rare books that he might have brought with him from that “British museum” gig (cf., “Welcome to the Hellmouth”).
Of course, the real reason for the cage, pre-Oz, is that’s where the weapons are kept.
Re: Library Cage
Well, that makes more sense than anything else I’ve heard. And yeah, I see the weapons are kept in there too. Thanks, *anonymous* for the good info! 🙂
