Unanswered Questions/Things That We're Left Going Huh?

So this week's blog post, I want to discuss unanswered questions and things that have left us going "huh?" even if they have been answered.

I'm going to start with the Cheese Man in Restless. There has been much speculation on why he was there. Joss himself has said the Cheese Man doesn't actually mean anything. But that hasn't stopped people from wondering, what was the purpose of this strange man? Most of the other things in the dreams meant something. 

TARA (softly): Be back before dawn.

This episode is packed with foreshadowing, and it's easy to see why people are still wondering about the Cheese Man and any special meaning. 

Moving on: why didn't the Master dust out like usual vampires? In season 2, we see his skeleton. Why would he have a skeleton and not dust out. Again, this is something we are left to wonder and come up with theories about. 

And finally, though I could go on a long time, what ever happened to Marcie? (Marcie is the girl from Out of Sight, Out of Mind). We know she was sent to a sort of government facility and trained for assassination.  What exactly was this secret government unit? Were they related to the Initiative? 

As I have said, there are so many more unanswered questions. I think there is a certain good side to this though. Even after nearly twelve years of being off the air, we are STILL talking about this groundbreaking show. We are still asking questions about it. I think that is exactly why not everything was wrapped up.
