And they made small refrence to the war in season seven when Buffy was counceling that kid whose brother was 'over there'.
...And Dark Angel made refrence to it before it had even begun; a character named Bruno had 'seen action in Iraq' in the pilot...

oh yeah, I'd forgotten that, that didn't have any kind of 'stance' though did it... I've still got my thinking hat on for other political references, maybe there weren't any but that just goes to show how much it was kept out of it...

I still think that Cordy line is hilarious myself. No, I don't like Bush at all, but I don't see where it necessarily has to be about Bush, since she didn't name him specifically. Bush is never named in either Buffy or Angel...ever. Even when Fredikins puts up the Dixie Chicks poster in "Conviction".
Britney Spears was mentioned in both, though. Why isn't everyone more upset about THAT?!! Eeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwww!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

She was originally supposed to play April-the-robot (confirmed by Marti Noxon) but couldn't work it into her schedule.
Freddie Prinze was originally supposed to play Drac but couldn't for the same reason.
Let the nightmares begin, people!

OMG! What a great episode, er... I mean: issue!
Huge big spoilers follow:
Select to view spoiler:
Poor Faith, alone....
and having to stake a bunch of kids... that's pretty harsh!
I've always loved Faith, even when she did her worst I always felt her pain. The character has always had so much pain and vulnerability.
AND FAITH STABBED GILES W/A FORK! YIKES!!
And Faithing think 'cunning' means oral sex (LOL).
I loved Gile's connecting his Ripper days/mistakes with Faith's past, that was really wonderful.
But the best part of the whole issue was in the letters section when Joss confessed that he forgot
Oh and I loved seeing Doctor Who, but shouldn't that have been a police box instead of a telephone behind him?
(so silly, I just love the silly stuff...which IMO includes Gile's very silly Yellow Submarine sweater - probably hand knit by one of his slayers)
A really great beginning, I had no trouble hearing the voices of the characters I love so much...
I am already a big fan of Brian K. Vaughan...
I've been loving 'Y the Last Man' and 'ExMachina'
I highly recommend 'Pride of Baghdad'
and of course I own all of 'Runaways'!

I'm buying 'em, but an end-of-season trade collection is what I'm ultimately hoping for...*rubs hands together maniacally*
