• Shadows over Hellmouth - the malaise of immiscible medical malady in a mystical milieu
• Pre-dating the word: the danger of a primordial power that circumvents youth speak by a factor of epochs
• The creaky stereotype of Spike as a lovable neighbourhood pervert
• "I mean, I for one didn't want to start my day with a slaughter. Which, really, just goes to show how much I've grown!"
