Very nice look at Giles waking up to the differences between the theory and the practice of being a field Watcher. I can just imagine Travers reading his letter and then throwing it in the bin as he pours himself another cognac.

I can see this Willow pre season 1 - so curious with her clever, quick brain conflicting with her need to be respectful to authority figures. Also seeing the seeds of her self justification which would become such a large part of her character in years to come was fascinating.

Excellent and very plausible alternative look at how the threads at the start of S1 might have come together.

Very nice use of 'Dulce et decorum est'. It takes me back to 0 Grade English classes, dissecting Owen's poetry. I always liked (if liked is the right word) Anthem for Doomed Youth. In fact the first line "What passing bells for these who die as cattle" could apply to the populace of the Hellmouth as well as the trenches. Although I don't think my English teacher would have been happy if I'd said so in an essay *g*
