rhetorical verse in Shakespearean sonnet form }
{BVS_066_01.02}
THE MOMENT when his heart steps past his grin . . .
{BVS_066_01.03}
THE MOMENT love arrives . . . when he's aware . . .
{BVS_066_01.04}
HER PRESENCE fills his soul . . . as she walks in . . .
{BVS_066_01.06}
WELL: That's the vampire theory we've been taught.
{BVS_066_01.07}
LIKE: Vampires cannot go into the sun.
{BVS_066_01.08}
AND: It's with wooden stakes they must be fought.
{BVS_066_01.10}
the madness of her beauty -- COULD YOU DOUBT
{BVS_066_01.11}
"this soulless villain" wears upon his face
{BVS_066_01.12}
a perfect simulation of devout . . .
{BVS_066_01.14}
(Why ruin this perfect thought with sodding "dove"?) {g}
{BVS_067_02.01}
A G*D DAMNED rebel vampire . . . WITH A CAR!!!!
{BVS_067_02.02}
(NO puny Mitsubishi . . . BUT A DODGE . . .
{BVS_067_02.03}
. . . Desoto FireFlight, Fifty-eight.) A STAR . . .
{BVS_067_02.04}
with nova'd presence . . . who would soon dislodge . . .
{BVS_067_02.06}
his ageless vampire costume since last year . . .
{BVS_067_02.07}
SURPRISING: God-like Joss who should have known
{BVS_067_02.08}
that children change in size so much it's clear . . .
{BVS_067_02.10}
A boring kid at that. GOOD LORD, ENOUGH!
{BVS_067_02.11}
I'm writing 'bout new Spike, then flip my lid
{BVS_067_02.12}
to ramble out a mile of kiddy fluff . . .)
{BVS_067_02.14}
A STAR. TWO STARS. |
{BVS_068_03.01}
WHAT'S UP WITH BUFFY in this episode
{BVS_068_03.02}
where Spike and his Drusilla come to town.
{BVS_068_03.03}
I guess you'd say SHE hit the mother lode
{BVS_068_03.04}
of credibility -- turned upside down . . .
{BVS_068_03.06}
The fact that Buffy's faced down death each week
{BVS_068_03.07}
meant "nothing" 'till her mother opened wide
{BVS_068_03.08}
her peepers. Saw her daughter cheek to cheek . . .
{BVS_068_03.10}
A brave, resourceful daughter who thought first
{BVS_068_03.11}
of others as Spike's soulless soldiers slinked
{BVS_068_03.12}
about the school to satisfy their thirst . . .
{BVS_068_03.14}
(Ax-wielding Joyce cracks Spike's head like a nut.)
{BVS_069_04.01}
There's more to say "'bout that," but Spike & Dru
{BVS_069_04.02}
are really all I want to sing tonight.
{BVS_069_04.03}
How perfectly the actors, writers too,
{BVS_069_04.04}
created pure, spectacular, delight . . .
{BVS_069_04.06}
Two characters who clicked from the word go.
{BVS_069_04.07}
Two characters carved by the finest knife.
{BVS_069_04.08}
Two characters so sharp they raised the show.
{BVS_069_04.10}
Drusilla. Oh, Drusilla. Bless your stars . . .
{BVS_069_04.11}
(One day you'll name them all. One name. Repeat.)
{BVS_069_04.12}
No single tiny false move ever mars . . .
{BVS_069_04.14}
between these mighty two. (As if it could.)
