Very helpful @purofilion – thank you!

Mrs. DrBen and I were huge Buffy fans back in the day, and we’re waiting until DrBen Jr. is 13 before watching that with him (or Firefly, for that matter).  So if Supernatural is more adult than that, we’ll certainly wait.  Thanks!

Everyone knows that the only true ginger in Moffat’s life is this one:

@Bluesqueakpip @stormintheheartofthesun @Mudlark and whomever else:
