I'm gonna break with procedure a bit and post this one a day early. I don't know how much computer time I'll have tomorrow, and I want to watch the discussion on this one. :)

As promised, we have a double poll today for Becoming Pt. 1 and Pt. 2. The question count came out to fourteen, covering a good variety of topics. A lot of shit happens in these episodes!

So enjoy!

1. This seems an appropriate episode to ask this. Angel and Angelus: How distinct are they? Let's scale this. 1 = They're absolutely the same person. 10 = Completely separate people.

5. Some people have theorized that Willow didn't bring back Angel's original soul, but gave him a different one. What say you?

For Buffy!

To prove that she can
14 (9.7%)
A bit of both

10 (6.9%)

9. Let's pretend that Xander hadn't lied to Buffy, and Buffy knew going in that Willow was going to try the ensouling spell again. Would things have played out any differently?

View Answers
Yeah. She'd have tried to stall to allow Willow to do her spell.
57 (39.3%)
Yeah. She'd have tried harder to keep Angelus from Acathla at first.

No. It probably wouldn't have made a difference.

Not sure.
17 (11.7%)

11. In S5's Fool For Love, we learn that Spike started his Buffy-love/obsession around this time, possibly as a result of the alliance with her. Does this retcon make sense to you in the context of this episode?

View Answers
Yes, totally.
100 (69.9%)
No, not really.
43 (30.1%)

12. Should Spike have talked to Drusilla about his concerns instead of going behind her back to partner up with Buffy?

View Answers
Definitely. That was a douche move on his part.

No way. She wouldn't have listened to him anyway.
122 (85.3%)
Not sure

Huh. I think I dislike how he's used in these two episodes. Were he to come back in AtS, I might have grown to like him better. But then I wouldn't have had Doyle, and I liked Doyle.
