It makes me snicker that Quentin named Giles his successor, after everything they've been through! So are there any more Watchers that are around? Like inactive ones or ones that weren't on site when it blew? Or is the Council all new people?
I think we'll be returning to this subject shortly, but for the time being I think it's fair to assume that there are plenty of stray Watchers around, although the destruction of the home office left them so disorganized and confused that Giles is still trying to put the pieces back together.
As for Quentin Travers... it just it struck me as the sort of thing he'd do. I always had the impression of him as somebody who only respected people who were willing to call his bluff - kind of an intellectual bully. And in case of emergency, I think he'd trust Giles to handle things better than whatever random yes-man the organization might put forward.
I enjoyed your Dawn and her interaction with everyone, especially the talk with Giles where she stands up to him about Buffy. So nice that she finally grew up, right?
Yep. We've been eager to see more of the "strong, powerful" Dawn that we were promised at the end of Season Six, and we really liked the notion of her holding her own against Giles.
I can't wait to read her talk with Xander, that should be good. They always had such a good vibe between them.
I remember that being part of Dawn's imaginary back story when she was first introduced - she came with a preinstalled Xander crush. But it's interesting how, in the subsequent episodes, Dawn switches back and forth between Spike and Xander as her confidant of choice. Perhaps both the Summers sisters have similar tastes in guy-friends?
Man I feel so bad for Giles. He has to be so tired and feeling almost defeated. *hugs him*
I think things will pick up for him soon. We just needed to establish where his head was at during that last season, before moving him forward again...
Will there be more soon?
You betcha. We're working away on the upcoming chapters right now.
