I'll let Riley do my angsting for once
The snow, lightning and rain that plagued my home have now vanished. And of course, now I have to sleep and am going blind in one eye again. Depression, jealousy and a bunch of other bad stuff all merging into one big ball of self-loathing and the assurance that I will never establish true connection to anything. Always just a nameless face in the crowd. And always due to my inablity to manage time or truly relax. Bleh. I'm going to kick my ass up at 7 a.m. tomorrow and write so that my week isn't a total wash. If I can get back on track with that, I might believe I have a purpose again.
Also, people really got to stop hating on post-highschool Buffy. Just because Buffy herself lost all personality and became totally boring doesn't mean the rest of the cast didn't see vast improvement in terms of dimensions and shades of gray. I think the development of Xander, Willow and Spike was a fair trade for the ball of quips that once was Buffy herself. It makes me sad because I *liked* Spuffy. I liked Buffy's dark side. I liked the wrongness and violence of it all. It's what Buffy is. Face it. Buffy is the darkness. That's what the Slayer is. I liked Willow's dark side. What would Buffy be like if we never met Alterverse Willow or Xander the guy who just never got a break but worked his damnest to see everyone through. I could do without Dawn though. Or Riley. Just saying. Then we have Tara. God, I'd sacrifice everything Buffy was in her high school incarnations for Tara alone. Tara served as a predecesor for Wesley, an example of how much a character could develop from a nobody hanging in the back to a full-fledged independent woman. Yeah, the final season pretty much blew and none of the baddies after the Mayor were never up to snuff. But we got to see our characters venture into some truly dark places and come out, scathed definitely, but also more mature. The later seasons reminded us that while we may all enjoy our younger years and party down, adult life will take us for a much harsher ride.
Also, post-highschool Buffy led way to Angel. Yay.
