Nice continuity to have Giles having to deal with both the old-time Watchers and their ways and the new breed of Slayers. Helping to set the rules and being more in charge than before. **snickering over the "American ideas" line** Giles is still getting teased about being "too American" isn't he?
Loved the scene with Giles drawing out both Watcher Rafferty and Vi (nice job of characterization with Vi, by the way - it's a more subtle role than one might think) and using Fiona to ... show each of them there is a middle ground they need to move toward. And letting them "solve" it themselves. ;-)
Hmmmmmm. Roger Wyndam-Pryce, eh? Somehow, I'm thinking . . . robots? ;-) But the hints of "illness" could also spin the plot another way. And I like the seemingly non-connected ritual murders. Just another problem for Giles or are they connected?
