Funny you should pick that one, since I know you and I talked about a plot idea with a post-series evil Council. I mean, that bomb couldn't have killed everyone, right?
Faith was certainly not my first choice to be the one to infiltrate them - I initially wanted to go with an undercover type thing, where Buffy sent one of her Slayers over to the Dark Side in order to get intel on the Watchers. But I like exploring Faith/Xander post-series, because there's so much unspoken between them. Now that Faith's reformed, I can see them inching toward trust, but it's always one step forward, two steps back, so it was fun to pair them up for this mission.

Besides, Faith with a chainsaw? Mrow.
