Excellent transition into the bigger picture and threat from the Initiative -  also, great resolution on the William/Mother turning from the series.

SO they seemed to work out some stuff.
They did. Thanks!

Yup, I forgot about Ethan, Spike's right even the wicca's aren't safe, none of them are. Glad they got to get things out in the open. Great read, thanks.
Yeah, I think everyone, including Giles forgets about Ethan, which is one of my pet hates re how Giles was written in the later series. Can't believe that he would just have left someone who even used to be a friend in their care after he found out what they were really up to. I'm glad you're enjoying it.

Thank you!

spike's assessment of what could happen is more than a little scary..excellent, thought-provoking chapter...can't wait for more :)
Thanks, honey!

Nope, Spike doesn't paint a pretty picture, but then the whole ethos behind The Initiative was always suspect. e.g. we've all heard of sightings of yetis/abominable snowmen in the Himalayas, but never heard of any attacks... still no one questions why Riley and Sam are off to Nepal at the end of AYW (or it could just be my Riley issues showing).

Shakes head - Buffy doesn't get it - she really doesn't get it does she. Spike's point about the third reich is right on. It isnt about saving mankind or protecting people - it about genocide of those who are different, its about eliminating the undersirables and controlling those you deem worthy of life. Its not about demons and violence, its about right and wrong. Killing is wrong. Be it man or demon. The true monster is the one who is just following his orders, and those who justify death as a cleansing in the name of human kind!
Thanks, honey!

Not much I can add to your comment, except to say I totally agree.

He's so right.

Buffy always thought too small, well, about most things. It was easier to ignore what was beyond her own backyard.
Oops! I thought I had replied to this ages ago. Sorry, sweetie!

Buffy's opinion on The Initiative was always heavily influenced by her opinion of Riley. It's coming time for her to remove the blinkers.

Great to hear from you as always. Thanks!
