idle thought #278

okay, but, like...were they setting the US government up to be a Big Bad or what?  they never went into too much detail but someone had to put the stamp on the Initiative thing and there were a few other touches, most of which I don't remember, but there was the Collecting Invisible Kids thing from the episode with Marcie.  We know the Sunnydale officials are corrupt, incompetent, or both, but what about on the national scale?  (I mean, it definitely had an X-Files feel almost so what, is the CSM just going to pop out of somewhere?)
