"The day you DO Suss out what you want, there'll probably be a parade..."

So...season 7 of Buffy is crazy. Just thought you should know. We ended our episode spree last night on a CLIFFHANGER and I definitely dreamed I was in the Buffy 'verse last night.

Anyway, Buffy always gets me thinking - I want to create a t.v. show like that, where my beliefs show through and it's a wonderful story with amazing characters that live and die and are happy and angry and sad...and people think about things after the show is over. Whether Joss feels/thinks this way or not, I've picked up on some things...some things I would point out to Christians especially, if they were skittish about watching a Vampire show [which is infinitely cooler than all the other stuff out right now, trust me].

1. Magic ALWAYS has consequences - mostly bad ones.
2. Don't sleep around - it leads to heartache every time.
3. Be careful of how you treat others - it can come back to bite you later [...].
4. love is the important thing.

I think Christians should watch things like Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel. It's a look at what good and evil look like, and how some things are more complicated than we think. There's redemption for people that seem to have 0% chance. Also...mixing w/ dark things has the potential to really mess with you. It's not recommended.

Whether Joss meant to say these things or not, it's what happens, and I'm just glad that I learned my lesson from a t.v. show and not from real experience, which would be even scarier.

I'm so sad I'm almost done watching the show. There isn't much resolution b/c their story [somewhat canon] is still going on in the comic books. But no one's happy. I would have made sure they learned their lessons and had some degree of happiness...but apparently, living in the Hellmouth is not conducive to joy. Big surprise. So I shall have to make up my own ending for the series and then start watching Angel.

Although...I kind of feel like going back to season 4 and starting again from there...maybe season 3. Seasons 4-7 especially are deep, thought-provoking, emotional, and challenging.

I <3 Joss Whedon.
