Much goodness! :)
First of all Happy Birthday ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
fraidycatx3! Hope you have a wonderful day! *hugs*
Then there is this Comic Con report (spoilers for s8), wherein we learn that 'Ripper' will happen! *does happy dance*
The most exciting news of all: Ripper is in effect! Ripper is the long-discussed story of Giles (Anthony Stewart Head) pre-Buffy. Who knows whether or not this plot will stay the same, but Head is on board as is the BBC, which is planning to film the story as one 90 minute TV movie.
Also there is a black-and-white preview of issue 6 of S8. And... if I hadn't read that stupid summary I'd be really excited. Because it looks *great* and - most shocking of all! - Jeanty's Faith looks like Faith. *is stunned*
But - it is Sunday morning and I have children to sort out. Still - it is a *good* morning, because the sky is blue and the sun is shining. It actually looks like summer.
See you all later, and I'll post my (rather shallow) 'Shadow Puppets 2' thoughts tomorrow! :)

I agree. Like I said on my own journal to beer_good_foamy, saying "you don't get a choice" isn't a statement on the rigidity (or otherwise) of the Slayer network, it's a reprise of this from 'Becoming 1':
"Bottom line is even if you see 'em coming, you're not ready for the big moments. No one asks for their life to change, not really. But it does.
"So, what, are we helpless? Puppets? No. The big moments are gonna come, can't help that. It's what you do afterwards that counts. That's when you find out who you are."
The heroine of this episode chose to go on her mission - Rona was describing it in the conditional tense ("you'd have to", not "you'll have to"). She could have walked away any time she wanted, assuming she could have lived with her conscience afterwards.
