Spike ,'Conversations with Dead People'
[NAFDA]. This is where we talk about the CW series Supernatural! Anything that's aired in the US (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though -- if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.
I always had an affection for "Drive," which is the episode that introduced me to Bryan Cranston.
Was Giles a Mary Sue/flabotinum?
No. Giles had his own angst, which rules him out as flabotinum, and was regularly mocked as dorky, which rules him out as a Mary Sue.
Not all middle-aged people with access to research materials are flabotinum, just the ones who supply all the necessary information in a 3-minute phone conversation.

He did seem to serve that role in the first season and (memfault) early S2? Until he got the angst that is.

Although he did kind of become flabotinum-ish in S7....
No, no, no, in S1/S2 Giles was already serving as a foil -- and sometime antagonist -- for Buffy. Even that last line from the pilot, "The world is doomed," was a character note rather than anything that smells like flabotinum.
Also, I mean, if not for Giles, who among us would know what a stevedore is? I ask you!
I think flabotinum is my new favorite word.
What's a stevedore?
(C'mon, somebody had to say it...)
Arcadia also contained Abraham Benrubi. (KUBIAC!)
Who I'd love to see on Supernatural. He'd make Padalecki look wee.
He's over on Men In Trees with not!Krychek.
Canadian Project Bingo, whee!
Oof. It's a good thing she's not on Lost, or Ruby would be dead in three episodes.
