Wow,Pilar!!! You and I are "simpatico"!!! I loved Dark Shadows as a kid--it contributed to a life-long obsession with the whole Vampire genre to this day. I like "Buffy", but find the writing too juvenile [Angel is only slightly better]. Do you like Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles??? I have always pictured Roger Howarth as the Vampire Lestat!!! -- At The Bayberry

Hi Trog42, would you settle for half "simpatico?" LOL! Sure, sometimes Buffy is juvenile writing especially last year w/Riley crap but I found the early years dealing w/Angel, the curse & slayer vs vamp legends quite riveting. Angel last year was trash IMO but suddenly took on a dark flavor w/the role he has to play in next big Apocalyspe & that burning Dru & Darla alive bit was VERY Angelus like, dark & twisted coolness he had.

- Buffy THIS season has been anything but juvenile, IMO, JW has matured the themes & revisited what exactly is a SLAYER w/Spike providing some thought-provoking insights. As for Anne Rice, here we part company I don't really care much for her twisting of vampire legends. And I preferred tortured Louis for Roger actually! Go figure, :-) (NT) -- Pilar, 14:31:31 03/16/01 Fri
  - I had almost given up on "Buffy" last year with Spike being de-vamped, standing around feeling sorry for himself, and the whole Initiative thing, but I was very pleasantly surprised with this year. Spike's been much much better, and Buffy's got her inner strength back that she seemed to be missing last year. I keep trying to read Anne Rice, but I always get bored with all the background description and give up before it gets around to any action. Just don't have that much patience anymore.
