Anyone who's ever seen my choices of Bot on the GMT would know that I'm only *part* gay :p

Or is it just that I'm not fussy? Or possibly greedy? I dunno *g*

In fairness to the points raised, yes, it would probably be an idea to put a little something at the beginning but I'm not sure how the question of adding the amendments would be addressed. I personally would like a little more exposition to go into why the raising of the temple didn't immediately bring about apocalypse (1. because Prossieknickers was a bit knackered after all that mind control and temple raising and 2. because there needed to be some story left for the rest of the season...). In fact, it's already in MY version!

Yes, the previously could have used something from ep 15. Our bad :(

There doesn't really seem to be a good place, other than at the beginning, to go into what Spike and Faith were doing in 15, cos they're not really key to the plot in 16, but I do think that it's going to be looked at more fully before the season's out. But maybe a nod to that would have been a good thing.

But really, I think that's as much as we should do to it. We could revisit it time after time and we'd end up overworking it. People might be pissed off with us now, but I'd rather that than produce something that's so over-worked that the only reaction is "meh". Plus, it's important NOT to wrap eveything up too quickly, that starts to smack a little of deus ex machina and it doesn't help continuity on a macro scale. Certainly on the issue of episode 15-16 continuity, we were a bit pants. We covered the book, but that's about it. But in terms of the wider picture, we picked up threads from earlier in the season that had been left dangling for a few episodes (and in some cases, a couple of seasons, lol).

Whatever. If people think that amendments at either end of the episode are a good idea, then I don't think BP and I will have a problem with that. We didn't intentionally set out to piss people off... but on the other hand, it's really cool that people have reacted this strongly to it... I actually think it's a sign that we're doing something right.

...add something in if you wanted in the beginning or end or wherever, cause i wasn't sure which way you were going with that. Like imisstara said, it's not even that the points aren't brought up, it's kinda more that the beginning doesn't really make sense in the scope of things.

Sorry I didn't email back, hotmail's being a bitch!

Just wanted to say that I thought your ep was great, sets up the last few episodes of the season perfectly. Well done!

Episode info, just so everyone knows:

EPISODE 18 - MARK
EPISODE 19 - JSLAYERUK
EPISODE 20 - KASHMANIK
EPISODE 21 - LINDA_DELURKED

Then, after Linda's ep goes out, I'll announce details on the C&S on how our readers can vote for the finale writer! :-)
