I've been wondering, but too lazy to dig out the book and check. There's a lot of thickness here. That also makes me happy -- maybe Joss *can* climb his mountain. If each page carries as much meaning as this one...
I think it's King who observed at BF that this is Spike doing Angel's old work (hero-detective on the case). In NFFY we have Faith doing Buffy's old work (vampire by vampire, with a big side of self-sacrifice). So I think these are intentional contrasts.
And was trying to edit my last to say that this *is* such a good pay-off for the long, long wait. I'm wrong often enough, so I feel like it's OK to squee loud when vindicated. Yay us!!!
