We have seen on occasion that Giles has a dodgy past...

Does this make his super-stiff attitude (esp in the early episodes) seem a little unrealistic?

maybe it's trying to hold the bad guy in check that does it. you know an episode delving into giles dark and murky past would be good...peachy

markpud · 22nd February 2001, 12:25 PM

yeah! We've had the odd hint, but a whole ep on it would be cool

Heck if Wesley can pull off "rogue demon hunter" then god knows what Giles could get up to...

i liked that episode with the chocolate, buffys mum and giles getting it together, then when it wore off, there embarassment...peachy

markpud · 22nd February 2001, 12:35 PM

yeah, that was agood insight into his past, and whenever they see each other since that point, lots of embarassments!!

peachy · 22nd February 2001, 12:41 PM

we definatly need more giles insights, do you remember what he looked like on his grand shop opening day, that picture of him still makes me laugh...peachy

markpud · 22nd February 2001, 12:54 PM

was that where he got dressed up like a wizard or something??

(memory like a sieve)

peachy · 22nd February 2001, 12:58 PM

yeah thats the one, he had on a big long gown thingy and a very big pointed hat, with stars and moon all over it i think. but the look on his face just took the biscuit...peachy

markpud · 22nd February 2001, 01:02 PM

yeah, that was funny! Proud as punch is the expression I think, or is it happy as Larry.....

peachy · 22nd February 2001, 01:04 PM

or sad loser, sorry couldn't resist that one, i like giles...peachy

markpud · 22nd February 2001, 01:16 PM

mr.pointy · 11th March 2001, 06:50 AM

peachy · 11th March 2001, 08:50 AM

hey you guys, i was only joking, i like giles, honest, i think hes really sweet...peachy

spacebabe · 28th March 2001, 06:02 PM

Giles is English. Not only do the Americans think that the English have a stiff upper lip but they also gave Giles starch in his underpants!!!

I like Giles too. But I'd much rather chase Angel.

markpud · 28th March 2001, 06:26 PM

yeah the portrayal of the British in US shows really sucks... they're all the same reserved stuck up character...

At lease in Buffy, they play Spike as a Brit with attitude, and Giles has some sense, more in the later seasons...
