That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

She gave them a choice in whether or not to join the battle. Everyone gets the strength; nobody gets the burden of "this is your fault burden/responsibility

Ah-ha! I was wondering why she'd given them the choice of whether or not to take her power, since clearly all the other potentials all over the world didn't have a choice; it didn't even occur to me that the choice was about whether or not to join her in battle.

Like I was saying... more wine?

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Hi. I take full responsibility for posting by fdrunken Buffistas in New England. It can't be helped. It's a sickness.

VW Bug is not drunk. She swears it.

I can't vouch for anyone else.

Like kickboxing's the sport.

I thought it was krav. Huh.

Okay. More wine. More Buffy (but only in the sense that there'll never be more Buffy).

t sniff

'Night sweet Buffistas. There's no place like this place. There are no people like y'all.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I cried. Of course I did. Girls killed things. Girls got the power to kill things. I'm tearing up right now thinking of the girl that's going to hit that stupid softball right out of the park and she doesn't know why.

I yelled a bit of "No! You can't do that!" when Anya and Wood took their blows. Giles was really Giles.

Oh, I'm still pissed at parts of the season, but not at much of the ep. There's only so much that could be done in 43 minutes, and like "Home", I think it's much more valuable to go forward than patch the past.

Even me? That rocks, Victor.

West Coasters - get your kleenex out. Really, I mean it, goodnight, all.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Well, not in Say Anything, which is of course about where my cultural knowledge stops and freezes in time, in that perfect moment of O-face that Joss thought would make a great plot in Happy Anniversary.

Nana korobi, ya oki. (Fall down seven times, stand up eight.) ~Yuzuru Hanyu/Japanese proverb

Is this how the prototypical Hero's Journey always ends, with the sharing of the elixir/power/whatever?

More or less. The "elixir" is usually some form of spiritual/metaphysical enlightenment.

Oh, as usual, dear. Lloyd will be so disappointed that I missed that reference. I'll have to sex him up. Really gone, now.

Gosh how... hard on you.

I'm so sorry you have to take that one for the team...

No... wait a minute! No bogarting the Dobler!

Jossian feminism

I guess that's somewhere in the feminist dictionary between cultural feminism and liberal feminism. ;)

Btw, I say nay, but tonight is a night for the yay sayers. Day may be the way for the naysayers, 'kay?
