The morning after "Hole in the world"

[cactuswatcher]

Have to say it wasn't one of Joss's better writing efforts, not bad just fairly formulaic for Joss. And he missed or at least Spike and Angel missed a fairly obvious solution to the putting Illyria back where it belongs without killing everybody problem.

First we had cave-Buffy
Then Black Willow
Then evil pregnant-lady Cordy
Now Blue Fred!

Hope Amy is the best of the lot.

Does anyone else hope that at some point in the next ep our new blue-haired villain will bellow, "Me want COOKIES!"
Does anyone else think Illyria should have a dog named "Dalmatia?" (Okay, perhaps way, too obscure of a geography joke.)

In case anyone is wondering, the picture I couldn't get to upload last night just read, "Namby pamby, self-analyzing wanker Pride!" Perhaps a new motto for ATPo? ;o)

Ha!

Yeah, hubby wouldn't shut up about the fairly obvious solution (if we're talking about the same fairly obvious solution). Kept muttering, "Los Angeles... boat... New Zealand. PROBLEM SOLVED!!!!"

That works

But, I'm thinking Illyria's essence is more magic-like or spirit-like than physical despite the spray that got Fred. If that's the case Angel crawls down the hole a few dozen boxes just to have a little saftey margin. Then he casts the spell. Since Fred is pretty much also on the other side of the earth the spirit gets pulled down through the earth not 'great circle route.' That way only the people in the building who are below her are in danger, and a quick overseas phone call could solve that problem. Not everyone will like that solution, but if Joss can have a hole all the way through the earth, he needs to look for the loopholes as well. ;o)
