"I imagine this issue of Buffy will leave fans talking, and some of it is gonna be unhappy..." (Scott Allie in the lettercol). Boy, was he right. "Some of it" was so unhappy that Whedonesque issued a new rule: people who don't like comics are not allowed to post in comics threads. "Post again and you're banned from this site forever.

Issue 9.05 takes place over the course of four days, because we see Buffy asleep and dreaming on three consecutive nights. Since Anaheed and Tumble therefore waited at least four days before getting up the courage to approach Buffy about their fears, I don't think there's any problem in assuming even longer went by between 9.04 and 9.05. Plus, if this is the very next night after the event of 9.04 you'd expect Buffy to be thinking more about Severin, but he never even crosses her mind

You're right. I didn't take into consideration that the events of #5 take place over the course of several days.

I wonder if the writers realise how thouroughly we dissect every aspect of the story. Most likely, they didn't give much thought to the timeline of Buffy's pregnancy.
