So many questions.
Ooooooooooooooooh.
ETA (to Pointy): I've always been a Buffy-nose fan.

I'm still sort of waiting for Fray to reveal that she lives in a world without shrimp ;-)

I loved Willow's explanation of why she'd been lying to people. And I'm still not convinced she's really evil, just tired and old.

ETA (at Pointy): Natch.

(also, just noticed how common this sort of response is)

Can we have the next issue now? Plleeeeeeeeaaaaassssseee, oh please, oh please?!?
We won't call you naughty anymore. Unless, of course, you like that...

The nose love is my clue. Dark Willow thought Buffy needed her ass kicked. Grey Willow, instead of finding fault with Buffy, admires her most fault-findable feature.
Willow's dark because her role here is to deal death, but she's not out of control. She's been sacrificing herself for 200 years to save the world, living in it long after it has ceased to give her joy. She's reconciled to death, the flaw in life that gives it its form and beauty (since pretty much everything beautiful that we do, from caregiving to art, is a triumph over death), just as she admires Buffy's nose, the "flaw" that differentiates her face from various ideals of beauty and gives it its particular beauty.
I really should get back to work :D
ETA All of which makes me kind of wish the otherwise excellent Karl Moline hadn't "fixed" Sarah Michelle's nose, which doth not perk like my mild Irish pug, but arcs like the crescent moon.

ETA: Hey this is our first internal monologue from Willow.
ETA2: Is it possible the Watcher-turned-critter is Giles?

I had a quick look and on the second page of the trade, there's the line "no one has been called for two hundred years".

Being an English geek, this reminds me about the Cumaean Sibyl,the oracle who could not die and wanted to (which is also in The Waste Land--don't know if it's on purpose, but it has me very curious.
Come on, 19th!

The Gift and Once More With Feeling included characters saying this line:
Willow's sadness stems from experiencing that -- for 200 years. And -- presumably -- from knowing an unpleasant role she has to play.

Well, this issue certainly looks like it will deliver. The last two really felt stretched, like not enough was going on. Maybe that's because Buffy wasn't conversing with any characters who can ... keep up with her words. I love that Buffy asks her if Kennedy's ok: Joss is knowingly playing with the reaction some fans had at the original dead+evil lesbian combo in season six.

You wish, people have been speculating that for ages now

This is really painful to contemplate as tot eh choices, even for a non-Fray fan like me. (I never ead the first arc.) And I wonder again like I ahe for years about the point to all this; what exactly in all this is something we "need?" Oh, well, I ahev amonth elss to wait than i ahd originally feared anyway.
*directed towards Buffy's look-alike daughter from Faith's look-alike daughter, threatening to "bust" it after Buffy JR put people's lives in danger
