Dust, just like the rest of them — BS7×11
Phew, my heart is still in my throat after this episode. Perhaps not among the best ones — there was way too much action emphasis for that — but definitely a good episode, and one that progressed the plot and did it job, just like a cogwheel is supposed to. To some extent it also almost convinced me that Giles is actually Giles, and not just a First Spectre of him. But I’ve come to no conclusion on that issue yet. However, I’d sure like to know, if this is truly Giles, how he escaped that little pickle he found himself in in the end of episode 8.
Anyway, it was nice to finally see the dusting of the Übervamp. That one was a scary mutha, sure, and a strong one too, but it didn’t help progress the plot to any degree that I can see. It seemed like a mindles drone, and gave me the impression that if this was the demon vampires descend from, then it must be obvious that the vampires got their cunning from their human heritage. Because this thing seemed to have the cognitive abilities of a golden retriever…

#1:
It’s one of few inconsistancies in the ‘verse, vampires and breathing. They don’t need to breathe. That’s established. It’s also clearly true that they can smoke and get winded, but you could ascribe that to their system still pushing air through when they don’t think about it, like force of habit, just not needing the air and not producing CO2. (Friends of the environment, these vampires) But then it makes no sense that Angel can’t give first aid (what the exact prodecure is called escapes me, but the one where you breathe into someone’s mouth), and it is established that he cannot.
(Vampires and electricity is another. Angel gets stunned often and is incapacitated by it, but Gwen’s immense electrical abilities doesn’t hurt him mentinonably.)

CPR, I believe the procedure is called.
And thanks for the info.
