timepiececlockRewatched Empty Places, in entirety, with ma mere.
I noticed they said the Mission that Spike & Andrew visted was in Gilroy.
Hnn... no. I've lived in Northern California for my whole life, and I'm pretty sure there were no Missions in Gilroy (though there's lots of garlic industry). I double checked, just to be sure.
It's cool that they actually used the name of an actual city instead of making another one up like Sunnyhell.

Date: 2003-05-06 12:27 am (UTC)I hadn't thought of it that way. Ok, it's a lot more funny now. Too bad they didn't write that into the script. I've been to Gilroy, and yep, you can smell the garlic. Too a vampire it'd be sensory overload.
I do find the matter of distance sloppy, though--assuming Sunnydale's around Santa Barbara, Gilroy would be four or more hours to the north, so it would be difficult for Spike and Andrew to make it there, find out anything substantial, and get back before sunrise.
Yeah. But then, we don't really know if they went back the same night.
