About Andrew's Kevin Bacon comment: Around the turn of the century, this was a trendy game, though maybe only in California. Basically, it is based on the assumption that anyone involved in the Hollywood film industry can be linked through their film roles to Bacon within six steps. The game's name is a reference to "six degrees of separation", a concept that suggests any two people on Earth are six or fewer acquaintance links apart. I kind of love that random reference in Buffy, it's the kind of thing that really dates the show (and me, ha ha) but it makes me nostalgic in all the right ways. Always love your commentary, Darcie! Your little nicknames (GG, the Maybes, etc) always make me laugh. As do your random observations, like about the demon's fancy hairdo (something I never thought about!). And yeah, we always know Buffy's gettin' down to business when the arms are crossed.

It wasn't just California. Actually, for the really geeky, instead of just having a Bacon number (which is usually < 3 for almost everyone who has ever worked in film or tv), you also now can have an Erdős–Bacon number. From the Wikipedia entry, "A person's Erdős–Bacon number is the sum of one's Erdős number—which measures the "collaborative distance" in authoring academic papers between that person and Hungarian mathematician Paul Erdős—and one's Bacon number—which represents the number of links, through roles in films, by which the person is separated from American actor Kevin Bacon." One of the examples they give is Natalie Portman: "Israeli-American actress Natalie Portman has an Erdős–Bacon number of 7. She collaborated (using her birth name, Natalie Hershlag) with Abigail A. Baird, who has a collaboration path leading to Joseph Gillis, who has an Erdős number of 1, giving Portman an Erdős number of 5. Portman appeared in A Powerful Noise Live (2009) with Sarah Michelle Gellar, who appeared in The Air I Breathe (2007) with Bacon, giving Portman a Bacon number of 2." (Sorry for the wall of text, but I'm on an Android device which doesn't recognize Shift-Enter, so I can't insert paragraph breaks)

Not a fan of the potentials, I shall probably rant more about them at some point. I do really love the Beljoxas's eye scene, where it more or less confirms exactly what Giles suggested was one of the risks Willow took back in Season 6 with her resurrection spell..."Killing us all, unleashing hell on earth".
