Hi all.....How like we females to 'rebuke' are father figure!?!

I did mine, only to learn years later that the old boy made alot of sense.

I have not read any of the comics (big surprise there!) but I felt I had to respond here, if only for old times sake.

I wonder if Joss isn't playing out the old 'father vs. daughter' scenario.

Girls tend to be
Daddy's little girl when they're growing up...only to turn against their 'fathers' later. It's a rebellious thing, I feel, that maybe, just maybe is a natural part of life?

My 17 year old is rebelling like crazy against her father (and myself to some point) because she feels (*again, I think) that she has outgrown his advice, etc. This attitude may be as old as the earth, I feel.

Maybe this is why we, mankind, rebel against God (if you believe) from time to time.
I don't know, it might just be me feeling old and meloncholy???

Anyway, as far as Angel and Spike go, their belief in God, don't they have to? They denied him, at first, didn't they? Perhaps they are trying to get back to some faith in something, perhaps not. At all costs, I don't think that Angel/Spike enter into the Buffy/Giles relationship.

If Buffy felt betrayed by Giles, then it was probably just the same age old reaction of a daughter and father. Hank Summers may have been Buffy's father, biologically, but he really didn't seem to be, emotionally.

Giles loved Buffy, as a daughter...then she grew away from him/grew up. I really think that all men/father figures resent this natural fact of life. In other words; they always want their little girls to stay that way.

That's just my opinion.

Shout out to everyone...
YAH
