Don't forget her hilarious background cameo in 'Something Blue'! But no character development there.
I dislike the idea of Bander cos I feel platonic relationships between youngish men and women were few and far between on TV, and that the writers managed to arc Buffy and Xander into a very credible one.
As for Dawn and Xander (Dander?!), why not? There could be potential for some humourous overprotective big sis scenes. And Xander did say "Daddy like..." in 'Him'!

Knew I missed something.

Xawn? take your pick.

Should I start with the almost a brother thing or the fact that Dawn is the 50 foot woman. Okay that second thing should eventually get fixed but still. Also Xander is being crushed on by that disconcertingly green skinned slayer (Who's name escapes me - I'm not even sure if we've been told her name, it's not in #2 but I can't check #1 as my sister has it at the moment.) Xander being stuck in another love triangle situation seems a bit season 3ish to me. Not saying it couldn't happen but I ain't pushing for it.

Xander and Dawn would seem incestuous to me, even if I wasn't rooting for Buffy/Xander. Yes, the thought did occur to me at one time (at the end of 'Potential') that they might go there.
I'd love it if they would do a Faith/Spike union during Faith's arc. I know what I said about 70-year-old Buffy and the vamps, but growing old with someone isn't Faith's style anyway, and Faith & Spike have much more in common to boot.

Got mine today, after all!
I don't know who the guy is in Buffy's dream. Dresses more like Spike, sounds more like Dracula...so I'm stumped. Will have to read it a couple more times before I guess.
Loved the kiss, even if it was short-lived and a dream...and his head came off.
The scene with Dawn, when she splashed him for suggesting that maybe she did it to herself was cute and so them!
Loved seeing Giles and Andrew again, although would've liked it even more if it actually looked like Tom Lenk...'cuz it doesn't. It was only after I read (and reread) his lines that I figured it out.
Of course I was over the moon to see Willow, and especially that she was able to have a full-circle moment using Giles's "I'd like to test that theory" line on Amy. Can not wait to see her go all magical-goddess on her ass.

I'm feeling pretty dumb...the outfit on the faceless guy in Buffy's dream is the same one Xander is wearing on the cover!!!
Edit: And wasn't Spike's coat destroyed in "The Girl in Question"?
Yes, I'm squealing like a 14-year-old. No, I don't care.

Yes, but then the woman in charge of the Rome branch of W&H gave him a new one, and sent a bunch more to LA for him. Plus, it's a dream, so Buffy can dress him any way she wants.
(For the record, I don't think it's him, because 'whoever' is wearing a pullover shirt, and Spike tends to favor unbuttoned button-downs over black tees.)Good catch on the Xander-cover-outfit-matchiness. My guess, tho, is Angel. If you read the answers in the lettercol at the end, it sure sounds like Angel, Spike, or both will be appearing in the next issue. In an earlier post, DaveShayne pointed out that Angel doesn't go for the long coats, but that's not completely true. No, he didn't during the last few seasons in LA, but he wore long coats almost exclusively during his time in Sunnydale, and that's probably how Buffy would most fondly remember him, and imagine him in one of her dreams...

Hm. Was I maybe not paying that much attention? Could be. I just have a fairly firm image of Angel in the more regular length mostly.
Anyway I got #1 back and the disconcertingly green woman who has the hots for Xander is named Renee.

Angel or Spike appearing in the next issue?! Must stop ignoring the letters page! Will that mean definite conformation that they survived 'Not Fade Away'? Because I'm sure we are ahead of that in the timeline.
Although, do we have any sense of time scale for Angel season 5? I know 'Just Rewards' takes place a given number of days (17?) after 'Chosen', but is there any indication of the time between 'Just Rewards' and 'Not Fade Away'? I mean the Buffy high school years always had a set timeline from start to finish of the school year, and that tends to correlate to the length of any Buffy season. But there we tend to have the landmark of Buffy's birthday to help us out. Or have I missed something completely? After this long, convuluted thought process, what I'm asking is - Is there any reason why 'The Long Way Home' can't be taking place simultaneously with (for example) 'A Hole in the World'? Can anyone help me out....

Well Joss has stated that this takes place a year and a half after the Sunnydale collapsage, so I would put this six months after the end of "Not Fade Away."

Yeah I know thats when it relates to 'Chosen', it says that at the start of the comic too - my question is where the Buffy timeline fits into Angel timeline? How long between 'Just Rewards' and 'Not Fade Away'? Does Andrew make any reference to time passed since the events in 'Chosen' during 'Damage'? That would be a pointer.
