Fred was supposed to speak between two speakers, but it looked as if she was the first one.

Fred refers to the professor as a serial killer, but for all she knows the other girls could still be alive in different dimensions.

Because they were going so heavily that it was the professor, I thought for certain it would turn out to be the teaching assistant.

Shouldn't they have found out what dimensions the professor had sent the other girls so they could try to rescue them if they were still alive?

I sure didn't quite see it coming when Gunn killed the prof. I thought he was just gonna let the guy go through that vortex to where he'd sent Fred. That demon that Angel beheaded sure obviously looked fake, though.

Or they could not be; her experience with other dimensions might lead her to think that there's no possible way they could have lived.

Or would they? On the one hand, we have Pylea. Five years of anguish and suffering, as she put it, but she lived through it. On the other, we have the Quor'Toth, which is hellish by reputation only, and in which an old man and a baby managed to survive for quite some time. So, hmm...

However, I don't see that it matters too much, as I think the professor's *intent* to kill them was fairly clear.

If he wanted to kill them then why not do what Gunn did? Kill them and toss the bodies into a portal.

Possibly he may have been psychologically unable to kill, but could justify sending them to another dimension since they were still alive, but wouldn't be able to come back.

He may have hoped they would die in another dimension, but he did not kill them. Although, I agree, he would be responsible for their deaths, if they have actually died.

However, since Angel & co. didn't learn where he had sent any of the other girls, because of Fred's desire for revenge, then that makes Fred partly responsible for any of the girls who die after this point in time.

Had they learned where he had sent them, they could have rescued any who still lived. That possibilty no longer exists now that the Professor is dead, because of Fred.

Um, he could have taken notes? And note that the professor is now dead because of *Gunn*, not Fred.

But Gunn wouldn't have snapped the Professor's neck if Fred wasn't trying to kill him.

I think Gunn killed the professor because he knew that if Fred had killed him she would have trouble living with herself knowing she had killed, so he killed him to spare her the guilt.

Keith I thought the same thing about the professor's assistant. She must have been a red herring

Wow. Fred very bitter this season. First Connor and now her old professor. Not the innocent carefree lady she once was...

I also believed that the TA would turn out to be the real villain. I guess Joss can only pull the fake-out villain so many times.

It's more he can't resist making an authority figure the villian.
