A poltergeisty First?

[dragonyphoenix]

So I'm watching Conversations with Dead People in which both Dawn and Willow are visited by the First except for Dawn's visit there's this whole poltergeist thing going on. I thought the First had no physical aspect, which leads me to wonder how the poltergeist effect came about. Has anyone seen this explained?

Yes, Angel couldn't rescue Buffy so Xander did the breathing. :)
But if you really think about it, it was some kind of logical mistake, because Vampires can breath, if they want to, but it will have no effect on them for (un)life.
If they can't breath, how would Spike smoke his cigarettes? LOL :D

Yeah, and we've seen Angelus smoking as well.

Yes! "How hast thou breath to tell me thou art out of breath?" You can 'breathe life' into someone with a plastic back and a tube! But they are getting all metaphory with the 'breath of life' here (slight jazz hands).

I always pretend that what he actually meant was that if a vampire breathes a human back to life they come back soulless and demonic.

That's actually rather awesome.

I'm pretty sure Angel didn't have a plastic bag and a tube when Buffy lay dead in the Master's lair. ;-)

My brain now wants to play with the breath of life metaphor and how it relates to vampires but I'm too tired. ;-( That's what I get for getting up early to go for a walk before the really oppressive heat dropped down.
