I like that Richards keeps trying throughout, though; from the "BAKERY" on the first page to the "BÄKEREI" and "BACKERAY" in Hanselstadt – another 10 pages and he might have stumbled across the correct spelling. ;-)
There's that positive spirit!
What, they didn't get the license to use Allan Finch, or Kakistos, or Angelus, or the Beast, or… Buffy?
Or if they have to introduce someone new, how about Faith's first watcher to emotionally torture her? Ya know, somebody we've actually heard of? No, that would go against Krueger's writing mantra that everything needs to be explained explicitly either through Giles' dialogue or by bashing you over the head with it.
Also, Faith always referring to everyone by only their first initial is one of my pet peeves in bad fanfic.
*nods* And how about the annoyingness of Giles just letting it happen. You know he hates people messing with the name. Not the name!
Giles fares better. While he should have smelled the trap a mile 1.6 kilometres away, at least he figures it out eventually,
Actually, disagree. I don't think Giles fared better. He was so blatantly used as the exposition guy that all his lines sounded ridiculously dumbed down and divorced from his personality. But that's me being a bit more dramatic than you, I imagine.
his felt like any number of s1/early s2 MOTW episodes.
Was just thinking the same thing.
I love your brain. *pets* Heh, that actually sounds kinda gross.
