Pft. Harry with a nice quiet day reading a book. Hah. $10 says the book is possessed and sucks him into a Book Hell dimension or something. Or he gets constantly nagged by Bob.

You mean like Fred from "Angel"? Hmmmm did those ghouls in "White Knight" seem a bit of a rip off from the end of Buffy? Oh well imitation is the most sincere form of theft.

That's quite an accusation there. Especially considering that every single plot point in Buffy had already existed somewhere.
Priscellie:
That's where you're wrong, Shecky. Joss Whedon totally came up with the idea of heroes fighting demons in a cave. And when the Fellowship fought off orcs and stuff in the mines of Moria, it was only because Tolkien had used a time machine to travel to the future and read Joss' mind!
Shecky:
I stand sit corrected. ::)

How exactly to man sized bald guys with Spock ears and fangs translate to 20 feet tall uber ghouls that pull themselves back together after they get chopped up? ???
