I would also like to acknowledge what a fascinating experience it has been watching these characters both as a teen and as an adult, because I have some verrrry different feelings about Giles than I did when I was 15

I think I'm done for the night, but good to know! And hell yes, Anthony Stewart Head is an amazing singer!

You know, I never thought about it before but I am a giant Buffy fan AND I became a librarian, there might be something there
