Meta Rec
In the wake of Season 8 #33, some incredible meta has surfaced. I'll admit to being thoroughly shaken and disturbed by that issue. And I still am. But can I just say how much I'm now enjoying it now. Because it's controversial. There is such enormous risk here. And I'm left on tenderhooks wondering if my favorite character can come back from the brink.

Giles: A Restrospective
