Question Glory and Ben

[lemst6]

I'm watching Season 5 right now, and some things kind of make me wonder, specifically in "Shadow" how is it that Buffy is talking to Ben in the hospital and then it seems chronologically after that, that Glory is in the Magic Box buying the stuff for her spell. Did the writers not think about this or is there another reason for the apparent two places in one time situation?

Never really paid attention to that.... I'll have to rewatch the ep before giving a theory. 🙂

Or maybe the true question is... wait... Ben...is Glory? And Glory is Ben...hmmm.... (if this is your first watch-through then you won't get that til later, but it's awesome).

LittleMiss - No this is like the 50th time I've seen it, which is probably why I am wondering about the little things now. But that is why I don't get it. Ben is Glory, Glory is Ben, so how are they in two places at the same time?

Do they jump between the two scenes? Otherwise it don´t mean much. It can be hours between two scenes. It´s not like we see everything that happens during a day.

^ Yeah. Just because a scene follows the one before it, doesn't mean they're happening simultaneously, or even right after another.
