Mark, I know you won't believe this, but I totally didn't get the double meaning of that line! It's cool that way though - ha!

Thanks to both of you for the comments, I'm glad you liked the episode. Start thinking of what to do for the finale!

[> The final version is much easier to read -- Linda_Delurked, 21:31:10 07/05/03 Sat

It's more spaced out, and a bit easier to read.

Thanks for liking the revelation of Clarity's name. I was worried that people would guess it from the name of the episode. Some might still do.

I know commenting on people's names is probably a bit silly in somewhere like California where people are called Star Moon Child and Fifi and all kinds of stuff, but I did need a reason why Clarity's name wouldn't be mentioned until the end, so that was my excuse.

I'm actually delighted with the Kennedy story. I know it's not important in terms of the whole episode, but I just really liked the way her story went. I'm especially pleased because I used to think that the only good character development I could write for her was a swift decapitation!

It's sad that I couldn't give Giles more to do, but I did want at least one character killed by the quake. I guess all those years of being knocked out finally caught up with our favourite watcher.

The Spike/Andrew interaction was something I had in mind from the start. It was also (not so) cleverly foreshadowed in episode 11. All those star wars scenes were clues too - Han incased in rock etc. It's a pretty clumsy version of foreshadowing but heck, it's the best I could do!

I had worried that Spike's freakout was a bit too close to his scene with Andrew in 'Touched' - where he frets over Buffy facing her enemies alone. The thing is, I wrote it before I'd seen touched and I was really amazed that my scene was so close to something the writers actually used, so I kept it in so I could show off and tell people ;)

Well, that's it. Now all I have to do is cope with the savage review from MTsFan when he realises I've killed off Dawn...*cringe*

[> [> well haha it all worked for me! The only suggestion I can think of... -- imisstara, 21:37:40 07/05/03 Sat

And this is really small, but maybe if you could add a few lines describing more of the actual buildings falling to show more how devastating this is. I think describing a shot of Buffy's house would be really striking, maybe Faith or someone could run by the street. Or maybe like a street that has been cracked in half or something. I thought you did a wonderful job with everything else, though. haha i'm really just trying to think of some kind of suggestion and that's all I could think of!

I'm at a net cafe right now and heading home, but I'll try to amend that before the episode goes out tomorrow. Thanks!
