We're still in the midst of our watch.

And as you know, as the bad babies know, I have just fallen so completely in love, not only with Giles, but with Anthony Head, because it's just such a...

completely captivating performance.

And it's obviously just like tremendously sad.

I think one of the, you know, one of the strange things about loss when it's like a public figure, right?

Somebody who you as a viewer or a listener, whatever the case may be, a reader, have a deep attachment to is that you feel this grief and you see then that other people who love that fictional universe, who love the performance, feel that way too.

And there's something shared about that.

And then of course you see

what the loss means to everybody who knew him.

And that was just so... You know, it's deeply sad.

It's very moving.

But there is, of course, an element amid the despair of, like, celebrating, celebrating the impact that he had on everybody.

And so to see the tribute posts from all of the members of the cast who...

not only loved him, but clearly learned so much from him to see what a formative figure he was in shaping their young careers and lives was, like, pretty remarkable to get to see.

I was thinking about that, knowing that Dawn awaits in season five, even though I don't have that.

uh, experience yet.

God, that's just, yeah, tremendously sad.

Thank you for sharing that with us.

Thank you.

I know how much you, I, you know, I saw your post about the, um, the photo that was like your- My desktop photo in college.
