Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

though perhaps the rules get a bit bent the night before an apocalypse

Oh GOSH yes!

The night before an apocalypse the guy who seems to live on my stoop had better hide if I get home and haven't scored yet.

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

I'm right with you on the whole "using'' argument too, Wenda, though perhaps the rules get a bit bent the night before an apocalypse

I'm shocked, shocked at the very suggestion! You people, with your sick minds...(and your sales).

But what else could you expect from a bunch of low rent, no account hoodlums like us -- hoodlums! Yes. I mean us and our friends, our whole sexes, throw us all in the sea for all you care, throw us in and wait for the bubbles. Buffistas, with our groping and spitting, all groin no brain three billion of us passin' around the same worn out urge. Buffistas. With our… sales.

an evil boy trying to be good

the argument can be made that a vampire without a soul would not care to try to be good, but another argument can be made that ChipNoSoul!Spike was doing just that. Watching someone restrain an impulse to do evil for the greater good is fascinating for me. CancerMan on X-Files was a compelling character to watch, because he was evil with tendencies to do good deeds--for a price, sure, but there were flashes of altruism that threw the whole character into a different level of complexity.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

Aside from these gripes, finding BtVS has been a huge thing for me, and reading -- over the last few months -- years' worth of your fascinating, brilliant, absolutely spot-on, irritating, highly-educated, super-informed, totally wrongheaded and bizarre thoughts on this strange and wonderful TV show have been an enormous pleasure.

I'm so glad we can share it with you, Kassto. And hello, since I haven't been in UnAmericans in some time.

`He combed his hair, Put on a shirt that his mother made, And he went on the air...'

Watching someone restrain an impulse to do evil for the greater good is fascinating for me.

Absolutely. Sometimes being able to restrain, maybe sometimes not, and all for complicated reasons -- in chippedand unsouled!Spike's case, those reasons could include love, traces of William, sheer stubbornness and contrariness, and vague chippiness. Much more interesting.

And PMM. I'm too innocent for this place. What did I say? What did I say? To spark off that...thing.

Thankyou kindly Consuela.
