Musings poll

So I was reading through the suggestions for meta topics at buffyversemeta and my brain started spinning as it is wont to do. So I started thinking about Jasmine, and whether she really was one of the PTBs and if she was, what does that say about Darla's appearance in "Inside Out"? I couldn't really think of a way to turn it into a good meta jumping off point, because all you can really do is speculate about it, but I wanted to know what other people thought was a likely explanation of Darla's ghost.

I think you are right that in terms of time on screen the First spent far more time as women than men, but it is obviously perfectly happy to appear as men if it wants too.

Oh, I've just remembered Caleb as another man it appeared as!


As regards Darla appearing, I had a thought - a 'ghost' that can touch does have a precedent on the show in Lessons: manifest spirits, raised by a talisman to seek vengeance. Not quite sure how that might apply, but it shows that ghosts that can touch are not entirely outside other canon experience.
