not my problem ...

"We've prevented the Master from freeing himself and opening the Mouth of Hell. That's not to say he's going to stop trying." Um, why is Giles concerned that the Master might escape? He's had sixty years to try and it hasn't worked yet. His best bet occurs once a century and they just stopped it. Why isn't anyone saying that the Master can be someone else's problem?

Does Giles know at the beginning of the show that prophecies can go wrong? I'm under the impression, although that may be from fanfic, that it's something he learned from Buffy. On the other hand, I believe if you go back to the Greek myths then prophecies are very misleading, which makes it something Giles would definitely know.

Sure but if they'd ignored the Master problem at the end then he'd still be down there. He says that it's Buffy's blood that frees him. Of course he'd just be working on some other way out.

Thanks, interesting answer.
