They did land at Town Lake! I've not actually been to Austin, but the best pictures and maps I found of it were with the lake in the foreground.

Death was one of my absolute favorite parts of S5. He was so badass, couldn't-give-a-shit-about-you-puny-gods-and-your-puny-wars, it was amazing. So I'm glad you liked this incarnation as well--I tried to keep to that spirit.

Gabriel is a tricky bastard, I'm telling you! We'll see what mayhem he's been up to soon.

Thanks!
