So I’m continuing to watch Buffy, beginning season two. Got a partial answer to one of my previous questions at the end of episode “School Hard” when two authority figures said:
“What do you suggest? The truth?”
“Gangs on PCP it is, then.”
The killing of the Anointed (in the same ep) was rather out of the blue, but in retrospect he wasn’t much use as a character.
I read somewhere that the Anointed was written out because his actor was growing up, and we can’t have that in a vampire.
