It will never not be okay to quote me. I am very quotable. *smug*
I doubt I'll read comics after I finish the season (I'm at Storyteller now), especially not till they end for good, as I do not real well with WIPs.
[I'll also watch Angel, except for the season where all the nasty things happen to Cordelia. I SPOIL MYSELF BECAUSE I CARE. [Seriously, life sucks enough without Whedon's murky id blindsiding me completely.]]
Anyway, I love your reviews of them, and really really like the bit about "my dark place", because I LOVE the idea of a dark place being a good thing, because why shouldn't it be? Light can hurt. Vampires are nocturnal, Buffy deals with vampires, there's no reason for her not to prefer the dark and subvert this ancient and annoying dichotomy. Also, he is, isn't he. Spike's not a clean and well-lighted place, he's a dingy dark comfy place and that is okay.
[Buffy may be his clean well-lighted place, but with dingy dark corners and something stirring beneath the floorboards.]
