snick_backupI forget to mention: how'd you like that there foreshadowing when Buffy squeezes the Gnarl's eyeballs out, hmm? And Xander's comment:
Dun dun DUN.
Also, unrelated to anything else, today I found out what it's called when someone uses another name for a country or people than the is used by the people themselves. Like, how in Spanish England is Inglaterra and London is Londres. It's called an exonym, and the word the natives use is called an endonym.
Yay words.
