[> Subject: Yes, I like this... Author: EvilWillowFan [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 07:48:17 10/03/03 Fri but the characters are still very different. I'm wondering what Willow will do now that Buffy said she didn't like Kennedy. And what the hell is going on with Dawn?

[> Subject: I'm wondering if everyone sees the characters as different because... Author: Gemma [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 20:03:46 10/09/03 Thu They sound more like how do I put this... interacting with each other like early series scooby's and Buffy. Back when things were mor light-hearted and they were closer. When I 'm reading that's what i see..more relaxed people Hmm maybe that's only me.
