You know, as I think about it, I don't recall anyone on the newsgroup ever
bringing up the foreshadowing (in retrospect) of this title (at the time
of
the original airing, I just accepted that no writer in the later half of
the 20th and start of the 21st century has ever passed up an op****tunity
to
use a line from that Yeats poem as a title (I think every single line has
been used by some writer or other as a title)). It also pretty directly
addresses the 'when did Jasmine take over' question. I think, at the
time,
that we just accepted that it must refer to the Beast, once Apocalypse
Nowish aired, but the imagery, in 20-20 hindsight is Anti-Christ imagery,
and that's Jasmine.
Of course, it may just be so obvious as to not need anyone bringing it up.

changed the past and made me Buffy's sister and for some reason, a big

because this town is evil, and a floppy eared demon named Clem.
