Ra-Tet would be fascinating, only I thought they were all killed? But the cat is probably some replacement, and linked to the Senior Partners somehow. I don't know about super-powers though, Gunn is like Xander in that he works best cuz he *doesn't* have powers. He's just an ordinary guy who's been fighting demons all his life, cuz he didn't have any other choice. Of course, it all depends on how they deal with his powers (if he gets any). Will be interesting either way, IMO.
Don't think the gang has any clue about what Wes would do for Lilah. Wes comes off as very cold and pragmatic most times, but really when you examine his motivations, lots of times he does really crazy things just because he cares about his friends. Kidnapping Connor, breaking Faith out of jail, being willing to die if it meant taking down Angelus, infiltrating W&H for Lilah.
But Wes/Fred? Eep, I don't know if I'm ready for that just yet! Maybe a little UST, as long as we still have the Wes/Lilah UST. Or maybe Wes/Lilah resuming their doomed love affair -- does it count as necrophilia if she's mobile and sentient? Heh. I mean, at least Angel gets booty, why not Lilah?
I am liking Fred better, but I think what she needs is to stand on her own. One thing I've loved about her development this season is how the writers show how much she depends on the guys, feels safe with them. She's a survivor, and after Pylea, I get why she wants the big, strong hero-type around, just in case. But I want her to be strong on her own too, like in "Magic Bullet".
Don't know how Connor will be worked back in. Just trusting Joss that he *will* be worked back in! Don't know if I'd be satisfied with a one-shot ep.
