Interesting insight into it all.

That was a nice story. I found the Giles/Fred interaction surprisingly enjoyable.

Great story, an interesting topic that you handled well.
Good to see how Buffy can have that much influence on people she enver met. Hope that in your fic-world the talk also had an influence on Buffy, and how people would feel who *did* go to hell through a portal.

Nice story-the WB/UPN split of the 2 series prevented scenes like this from being shown --it was particularly disappointing that Giles never saw how much Wesley had changed --but then it brings up the question of why the scoobies were so utterly certain that Angel had gone bad in Angel S5--unless Andrew exaggerated it to the fang gang? And didn't give an accurate report to the scoobies? Which also brings up te 'why didn't Faith at least go and talk to them?" And stuff-

I really liked this, though for a worrying moment the thought of a Giles-Fred alliance did cross my mind. They'd scare everyone with how smart they were though. Excellent story. I liked all the different ideas especially. More please.
