I'm with Rayne:
Lalalala... I can't hear you! ::::picturing Miss Kitty frolicking happily in a field on the way to LA::::
Illyria: Wesley's dead. I'm feeling grief for him. I can't seem to control it. I wish to do more violence. Spike: Well, wishes just happen to be horses today.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
its not like it can't cause havoc elsewhere. Anyone have an opinion?
I think a key part of its plan was massing the troops.
The first will never go away, but they severly nipped its ability to mobilise in the bud, and perhaps whatever instability allowed it to get even that far has been taken away by the mass choosing.

Ficht nicht mit Der Raketemensch!
That was my take. Also, closing the Hellmouth majorly weakens the First (even if there is one elsewhere).

I wasnt too clear on its plan anyway... when the Turok-han outnumber the human population, it gets to become flesh? So why wasn't it back when demons ruled the earth? And who makes the rules up, anyway?

Because it needed the imbalance that Buffy created?

Art Crawl!!!
Plus -- the First can no longer kill off the Slayer line so easily if all potentials have the power.
BTW Jim -- we had the ASH MI-5 last night -- really good. But I must say that if I were Tom's girlfriend I really wouldn't want him to tell my daughter the truth. I think it could only be dangerous.

Hm, that is something I hadn't considered—that the imbalance wasn't so much between good and evil, as Buffy's return to the physical realm opening the door for it to come through as well.

To be honest, I've only seen a few MI5's. The S2 finale, last night, was staggeringly good. I'm kicking myself for not catching it sooner.

But Jim, you're our MI5 oracle!
Sorry. But that felt good.

I dont know if this was the thread where I was saying that I was disappointed in the pilot episode of "The O.C."...well I still am, but the 2nd episode more than made up for it. I loved it. It had great snappy writing and very funny stuff. I predict great things for the show. Until they move it to Thursdays.
