some canon thoughts

Aug 29, 2007 15:54

in Bs3 Bad Girls, Buffy shows up at Faith's house the morning after the murder in a fairly dowdy dress. I'm watching this with my mom, and she goes..."why is she wearing..oh. church on sunday morning!" This had never occurred to me before, but she has a point. I think that's the implication. was buffy at church? how does this fit in with the ( Read more... )

got canon?

I think the Sunday-morning church outfit is Buffy's way of repenting. She went over to the dark side, got scared and now is running back again.

As for Lorne, I got nothin.'

ah! SUCH a good point. that makes a ton of sense to me. :)

I though most of Buffy's dresses on Season 3 leaned towards that side. But that's just me.

Maybe Lorne's spidey sense was off or something?

Well, as for Lorne, I think he's right. If Angel had fought off his Darla obsession his world wouldn't have been blown apart. Cordy wouldn't have been comatised, no beast, no Connor fiascoes...his family/support disappears down that path, and they're the ones that have helped him stay on his path of saving people for so long. So in a sense, I think Lorne's just warning him away form that path since it's an evil nasty one and it doesn't lead to a whole lot of the soul saving, and one could take that mission of his as being his path, so that might have been more what Lorne meant. If that makes any sense.

Well, and if you want to take it a more linear (believable) way, it wasn't Angel's path to physically make any baby. Vampires they don't make with the living progeny so much and all. So maybe it was more that that he's referring to. Or, you know, the writers made a wee snafu. :)

Oohhh, new layout. Hot!

Ahem.
It has always been my and my mom's contention that Connor is actually Lindsey's son, but that Darla wasn't sure which because she had done Angel just before (or after) Lindsey and when Dru turned her, she figured that got rid of any baby cells or what not. So, if that's the case - and an argument can be made, dammit! lol - then heck no! Lorne was right on the money. /ahem.

Don't know about Buffy going to church, but maybe, with JOyce finding out about all the real nastiness that goes on in the world, she would have wanted to establish a connection with a higher power and take Buffy with her. Interesting idea..

As far as I can remember BtVS S3, Buffy often wore similar dresses =) She had to be all light-girly-and-Not!Faith. Or Anti!Faith. Actually, Faith was Anti!Buffy. Well, they were contrasted with each other :D

AtS S2: I think the writers didn't bother thinking it through, but this particular plot-hole is rationalize-able :) If I was Jasmine and could pre-order a souled!vamp complete with a prophesied destiny, I'd block those pesky seers from reading said destiny in case my supposed champion wouldn't like what they so, right? We know that Jas is able to fool Lorne from the Angelus stunt in Calvary. So when Lorne says Angel's off his path, he's reading a fake path =)
