Love it! That line of Buffy's is a staple of so many fics, hilarious to
see this twist. (I think it goes back to Monty Python's "The Cycling
Tour": "So! It was all a dream!" "No, dear, this the dream; you're
still in the jail cell." "Damn!")

Such a drolly unprepossessing title :)

Adams would be proud of this?

Very clever. And logical, too.

entry: 'This prophecy shall not come to pass'.

LOL. Literally. Practically bellowed.

Well, you said it was specific :) Does it mention what's for dinner?

cliffhanger in itself?

No, I think a cliffhanger would be "is there going to be a cliffhanger?" 

Liked this so much I'm upset there are only going to be two more
episodes.

Oh, dear. I guess I shouldn't have said that?
