Brilliant, Maggie!

Fantasy and real, all brought together to show how Season 8 has progressed. Remember Angel's line "This isn't a fairytale" to which Buffy responds "when you kiss me I want to die." To Buffy, it really is a fairytale.

Gah, when you think about Buffy being trapped in a dreamstate in LWH and her creating her own fantasy world in Twilight, there's so many levels of self-constructed prisons. Oh! Remember the the triple x's that she thought were bars?

This post is incredibly wonderful food for thought. Just brilliant.

I think I took for granted that Buffy wants to retreat into safe fantasy when I was discussing why she wouldn't go after Spike. Because she's always been afraid of risking herself in this regard--it's something I unconsciously know, but couldn't vocalize.
