Thank you! I appreciate your comments. I'm especially glad to hear the dynamics still work from a cartoon background; it's been ages since I saw any of the series, but I have movies #1 and 4 on my shelf.

I like my Buffy (and all the Scoobies) on the matured side, having gained wisdom rather than fracturing further after the events of the series. (Just Say No to the comics, in other words. *grin*)
