#i'm being snarky but genuinely if someone can confirm to me that the writers did not just straight up forget about this it would make me

[all-seeing-ifer]

speaking of buffyverse things that have been on my mind today, and I'm saying this as someone whose only dark horse comics knowledge is comes from the angel and faith comics and a quick look over some of the wiki articles about the after the fall comics to try and fill in what happened between ats and a&f so maybe someone whose actually read those comics would be able to explain it, but genuine question time. did the writers just. forget. to establish gunn getting his memories of connor back?

bc like as far as i can tell the timeline goes end of season 4: all of AI lose their memories of connor except angel -> end-ish of season 5: connor wesley and illyria/fred all regain their memories but gunn and lorne do not -> after the fall: gunn and connor apparently interact in at least some capacity but as far as I can tell from the wiki there's no acknowledgement of what i would describe as the rather massive elephant in the room that gunn should not know who connor is at this point -> angel and faith: gunn not only knows that connor is angel's son but is keeping tabs on him for angel. so like I'm hoping after the fall does address this and it's just not mentioned on the wiki because otherwise the writers just straight up forgot about a fairly massive plot development. and i mean it's not like i'd be surprised by the writers forgetting about gunn yet again but i'm sure the bar can always go lower
