This is a great episode, it may not push the boat out story wise, but it does introduce Ethan Rayne, move the core scoobies characters forward, and hint at a darker past for Giles. #buffy #buffyverse #buffythevampireslayer
“You could say it doesn’t count, cus he’s a soldier right now….but all that stays with him” until like season 6-7 or whenever it was that they legitimately needed some soldier info to fight the big bad, and he said it was all gone. That part bugged me in the show so bad cus season 4 he’s saying he can assemble an assault rifle in 39 seconds or something, then a few years later it’s all gone. And Xander having his own “super power” was always cool to me, even if it was just knowledge.
