William! If some of these look familiar, it's because I've kinda done polls for this episode in the past. I'm a fan of recycling...but there's new people and maybe your opinion's changed! Also, new questions! Have at it! Seriously, I had to stop myself. I was coming up with far too many questions. It's not fair to the other episodes.
Let's do this!

Open to: All, detailed results viewable to: All, participants: 150
1. After Buffy is stabbed by a vampire, Riley offers to patrol. Buffy insists that he take the Scoobies along with him. Reasonable?
| Yes. Buffy just got almost-killed by a regular vamp. Strength in numbers is smart. |
| No. Riley can handle himself. |
| I have another answer. |
| Not sure. |
2. So...Cecily?
| Unreasonably rude to William. |
| Eh, William was probably being a creepy stalker guy. He deserved the smackdown. |
| I have another answer. |
| Not sure. |
3. Did William actually go back and drive railroad spikes through those party-goers' heads after he was turned?
| Well, yeah. That's how he got his name, right? |
| Nah. That was part of the joke about how he got his name |
| I have another answer |
| Not sure |
4. So did Drusilla actually use her super-seer sense to realize how fantastic Spike would be when she turned William?
| Yep. Hence the whole talking about his greatness and effulgence and such |
| Nah, Darla showed that she would have done that to the first person she saw. She wanted a playmate. |
| I have another answer |
| Not sure |
5. Do all Slayers have a death wish?
6. Does Buffy have a death wish?
7. Does Buffy want to dance?
| Yes, of course! |
| Maybe a little, though she wouldn't admit it |
| No way. |
| Not sure |
8. Buffy shoved Spike to the ground, threw money at him, then gave him the ultimate put down.
| Wow. That's mean. |
| Nah, Spike was being a jerk. She had reason. |
| I have another answer. |
| Not sure. |
9. The Chinese Slayer or the Subway Slayer?
10. If Buffy hadn't been crying - and assuming his chip wouldn't disable him - would Spike have shot and killed Buffy?
11. Did Spike tell Buffy the truth about his past as a bloody awful poet and his rejection by Cecily?
12. Which flashback did you like best?
| William getting turned by Drusilla |
| William - Spike - learning about the Slayer from Angelus |
| Spike killing his first Slayer |
| Spike killing his second Slayer |
| Drusilla getting caught cheating on Spike |

11 - No, he certainly didn't tell her what really happened. His whole story was about boasting how "bad" he always was, not what a dork he was as a human.
11. Yep. *nods*
Which ones? As far as I can recall it hasn't been clearly confirmed in canon that there's any connection between Halfrek and Cecily other than similarity in appearance.
I don't know if they had decided if she was already Halfrek in 1880 and just posing as Cecily or it was a pure accident because someone didn't think about the dates, but later in a conversation with Anya she mentions being in Russia during the Crimean war (as a demon), and that was some 25 years before William was turned.

(I did say it was a hint, it just isn't a conclusive one.)
