[QUOTE="Edena_of_Neith, post: 351047, member: 2020"] SPOILER CAUTION - - - - - - - - - - - - Well, I checked out (what I think) is the official Buffy site for the first time. The Scooby Gang? LOL. Having watched Scooby Doo quite a lot as a kid (I was too young to go to Woodstock :( ) I can only wonder what Shaggy, Scooby, Thelma, and the others would have thought, if they were suddenly dumped in the Buffy universe. Heh. I do not think Scooby Doo would have found too much protection jumping into Shaggy's arms, in this situation. Anyways ... DYING is an interesting experience. Sometimes it's fast, and sometimes it's slow, as in my case after we collided head-on with a semi on the road (a 100 mph collision.) First, there is disorientation and numbness throughout the whole body. Then, everything becomes very surreal and disconnected. Then, there is nothing. Fade to black. Obviously, I survived - in the end - or I would not be writing this. However, for 2 days I lay dying in the hospital, until surgery saved my life. Such experiences tend to change people, and certainly I was changed. Buffy was actually killed, apparently - according to what I read - at the end of Season Five. Now, she is back. Resurrected. How has being killed and subsequently resurrected affected Buffy? I realize that our high level characters in Dungeons and Dragons might undergo this experience, and remain relatively unchanged - maybe - but this is Buffy we are talking about here. And I simply must ask all of you ... Why doesn't Buffy use Holy Water as a weapon, and the Cross as a weapon and a defense? Why doesn't Buffy employ garlic, mirrors, and running water? And the other things anathema to vampires, classically? [/QUOTE]
