I argued w/a friend that wanting to become a vampire was tantamount to wanting to commit suicide, because no vampire can grow or create or ever hope to be more than what they are. My friend disagreed 100% to her wanting to become a vampire was wanting to embrace sexual desire even if it is 'forbidden' or not what is accepted as normal. I think both of us got our attitudes from Buffy, and that both have merit.
Yes, I think BtVS is an interesting example of the artificial universe that is so rich that there are countless interpretations of it. I have been always intrigued by the fact that all the three BtVS demons who were in the regular cast (Angel, Spike, Oz) happened to be creative persons (artist, poet, musician). Was is random or intentional? Were demons supposed to personify our creative side? Our id as a source of inspiration?
I'm confident that he will tie everything together eventually (as he did w/Astonishing X-men) but heaven knows how long he'll take to get there!
Hopefully it will happen before I stop caring completely...
