True. I suppose not actually having visited the afterlife makes a bit of a difference. Which brings up the question of how dead she was. Clearly dead enough to cause a new Slayer to be created, but not dead enough for Heaven? Or Heaven in Buffy is an alternate dimension, simply, not an afterlife. Hmmm.
Well, it's not as if any human returned from theoretical death by CPR has ever been able to describe more than that big tunnel, either, so fair enough I'd say. It can take a bit more than a few minutes to reach the afterlife, makes sense.
Yes. I agree.
Huh. For some reason - I'm really not sure why - I had you pegged as someone liking Giles very much in general. Oh, it might have to do with your worship of Lupin, come to think of it.
But we know kiss of life is not a magic kiss of life, it is restarting the lungs. Buffy is not far enough gone into fantasy land for it to be anything else. Drawing on myths is one thing, I cannot help feeling that this is something else.
I don't know about magic, but most people would view it as more than a purely mechanical thing, alright. And really, I think my point is sound - just because being entirely consistent about the breathing thing is not feasible, doesn't mean they should give up entirely on claiming that vampires don't breathe.
Angel uses his lack of breath as a strength in the very first season of Buffy as well, when Giles, Xander and Willow are trapped in the room with the gas (the episode with the invisible girl).
Ah yes, now that you mention it. I also just thought of the part where he spends two months at the bottom of the ocean. Kind of a big one, there.
There is one thing that really, really annoys me.

Because TV shows about vampires are usually not concerned about science?

The lack of body heat is another trait I find annoying.
