kangeikoSomething just occured to me, and I'm sure that the A:TS devotees have figured out the answer to this already.
Why the hell didn't Angel lose his soul when Connor was born? Or, just after, when Darla had gone Pfft!, and he had a tiny, wriggly baby in his arms? And don't go on about his fear for Connor's well-being - he managed perfect happiness with Buffy when the world was about to end.
So?
*brain!cramp*

Or are we to believe that she was part of the Roanoke set-up? 'cause that could make for an interesting 1602 / A:TS crossover that would break my brain.

Date: 2006-02-22 02:46 pm (UTC)I still love the idea of a 1602/A:TS crossover, because the Jossverse can't be ours anyway. Just think of all the Catholics running around in overabundance. Now Liam, okay, Irish, but:
- the Master poses as a priest towards Darla, and I get the distinct impression he's meant to be taken as a Catholic priest
- Daniel Holtz, a Yorkshire man from the later half of the 18th century, is Catholic when it would make far more sense if he were a Wesleyan (he) or at any rate a CoE Protestant
- Drusilla, a girl in London in 1860, is a Catholic as well

That's just...
*chokes*
Sorry, the historian in me is having a heart-attack. There were definitely no prostitutes in the original settlers of Jamestown. I suppose that she could have come in on the 1608 supply shipment when they sent through 110 more colonists, but... *shakes head* They sent through men, gentlemen, at that, which is why Jamestown nearly died out. Noone would work!
If she was Spanish, however, that would 1) explain the Catholicism, 2) account for the mission, and 3) explain the presence of a prostitute in what should be a nearly all-male colony...

yes, exactly. That works nicely with the slightly-out-of-synch timeline.
*thinks of all the lovely crossover possibilities*
