Meandering Musings

I just realized that both Spike's and Lindsey's arcs in AtS S5 that keep them in L.A. with Angel are missing motives and unexplained. Beyond that, Gunn, Wesley, and Winifred are there by mystical brainwashing. The only major characters in the whole year who have any kind of real connection to the story justified by their own background and arc are Harmony and Angelus.
