Me is slow!
Just finished watching 'Doppelgangland' (on Sky One) and realised that Vamp!Willow kills a 'Sandy' (must have vamped her while the cameras weren't looking). Checked up, and it *is* the same Sandy that bites Riley! God, I'm such a geek! ETA: Played by the same actress, Megan Gray.
ETA #2: When they refuse to help Anya at the end, she says: "Just wait till I get my powers back - you will all tremble before me!" Which with hindsight... *sniff* Only she trembled. Poor Anya.
In other news, 'Bones' is starting on Sky One in the new year! Yay. :)

You know, thats when I actually came to hate Riley! She had come on to him in the demon bar and he said he wasn't interested in a vampire. She just smiled and went about her business. Riley sought her out, made it look like he was interested in a roundevoux that included bities and then staked her! She wasn't a threat and he knew it. She had left him alone when asked. I had hated the bully characteristics in him up till then (and his staking of Spike counted as that IMHO), but that really ended any positive feeling I had for him then.
When he left Buffy facing the threat of Glory (who had seriously kicked her bottom and was an unknown hostile at the time), a mom just out of hospital (and unknown prognosis) and the "dangerous" Spike "stalking" her because she didn't forgive him instantly for putting them all at risk with his vamp bite fetish proved his "love" for what it was IMHO.
Grr argh....
I noticed the connection late too BTW.

I don't have much to say about the rest except you're going to *love* the last installment of my Christmas fic! Um, I didn't just say that. Tralalalala.... ;)

Yes, it happend in the actual Buffy verse, but what I meant was that I have read people say that when the necklace was broken, all that happened in The Wish was reversed (said to absolve Anyanka usually). If that were true, Sandy would not have been vamped because there would not have been a vampWillow to turn her anyway. Doppelgangland showed the Wishverse was still around but it was folding time as well to before the necklace was broken.....GAAAAHHHH my head just exploded!
The part about all Anyanka's work being undone is hooey (it became an alternate universe, obviously, for them to bring VampWillow to ours and Sandy to be turned by her).

And I think that the Wish!verse is clearly another dimension (like the shrimp world! *g*), and why would the reversal of a few death absolve Anya? She had 1100 years worth of mayhem to her name. Some people are strange!

I'm with you, that became an alternate dimension. And I still contend that Anya had more blood on her hands than any of the regulars (Willow would have beat her out if Xander hadn't stopped her since it would have been the entire population of the planet!)
I'm glad WE are sane (well, I am most of the time anyway).

Well they had a point. This is from The Wish:
Giles: Ah! Ah! Ah! Yes! Here. 'In order to defeat Anyanka, one must destroy her powercenter. This should reverse all the wishes she's granted, rendering her mortal and powerless again.' You see? Without her powercenter, she'd j-just be a-a-an ordinary woman again, and all this would be, um... well, different. Well, I'd say that my, my Watcher muscles haven't completely atrophied after all.
But you're right, it still doesn't absolve her. And there's the old man as well. Maybe he was just pulled out of the Hell dimension he was in?
Anyway, I'm much too tired for all this thinking! ::yawns::

;) You gotta admit one thing about Whedon, he always leaves an out for himself. Turns out it was just the last one. :)
I never really thought it absolved her, either and fanwank aside, I'm not sure it was ever supposed to. Most of the time when you hear that stuff, there's an anti-something agenda behind. That said, though, I've never been big on the equating Anya and Spike thing. Apples and oranges, IMO.
no subject
Seems a good enough explanation to me!
And apples and oranges indeed. Their journeys were similar in some ways in that they both started off as evil demons and slowly came to love one person until they were ready to fight for humanity as a whole. But how they got from A to B was vastly different.

On the other hand, we've never seen Harmony going through the process of becoming vampire either.

I've enjoyed all your Christmas posts btw, just not had any time to comment (same goes for everyone else on my flist). But I *have* read!

That's amazing about the Sandy vampire. I wonder if they meant that or whether it was happy coincedence?

We in the Buffy fandom aren't the only obsessives. I just read in Premiere magazine that director Tim Burton tracked down the kid who played the banjo in that memorable scene in Deliverance just so he could use him in a brief cameo for his movie Big Fish. After all these years, he of course didn't even look anything like he did back then, but Burton felt it was important to cast him in the movie. I knew Burton was a little odd, but still...
