Mini epiphany of the day.

Have been discussing 'what did Spike ask for - the chip out or his soul back?' in the AOQ 'Grave' thread, and the nay-sayers keep going on about the stupid dialogue and saying that there's no hint that Spike has asked for a soul (the fact that the thing was written to be as fuzzy as possible is lost on them). But... (from 'Villains'):

The Lurking demon says: "...and you have the audacity to crawl in here and demand restoration?"

The gypies re-souling spell is called 'The Ritual of Restoration.'

Now that is just... neat. :)

Ah, very interesting! Nice little tidbit that. As for the naysayers yes, not likely to listen to what all the writers are telling them (as Jane did yet again last weekend. She thought it was one of ME's biggest goofs).

Yes, she brought it up on her own too, as the question was about having things misunderstood or interpreted differently than expected. It was clearly an issue she was frustrated by.

I've been skimming a lot too as I'm trying to catch up, but I just finished!
