TEA TIME BtVS Episode Of The 
                              Day: #7 "ANGEL"


(1) THE 
                              GOOD: BUFFY TURNS 
                              GRAY


THE MOMENT BLACK & 
                              WHITE TURNS INTO GRAY --

when 
                              first-love's face reveals a fright'ning 
                              side,

when unexpected darkness pierces day 
                              --

your pointed clarity cannot abide . . 
                              .


. . . within parameters of Sunday 
                              School.

(BUT NO, that's wrong. Perhaps 
                              that's THE one spot

forgiveness and 
                              redemption's labeled cool.)

Can chosen 
                              slayer's say, "Oh, I forgot . . .


. 
                              . . you drank the blood of thousands in your 
                              past."

How can a sacred duty 
                              overlook

a clear bi-polar judgement, and 
                              recast

each situation -- not "go by the 
                              book?"


The Buffyverse transcended on 
                              that night

the slayer rule of who she has 
                              to fight.


(2) THE BAD: OF 
                              VAMPIRES WITH GUNS


NOW 
                              SOMETIMES WRITERS DO A STUPID THING . . 
                              .

LIKE when they gave vamp Darla 
                              forty-fives

(9 millimeter pistols?). 
                              Let them sing

at high velocity. How many 
                              lives, . . .


. . . pray, tell me, does 
                              a vampire slayer get?

If vampire law 
                              allows them to pack heat --

shot guns, and 
                              Uzi's, Darla's hand-gun set --

how long 
                              before each slayer's just raw 
                              meat?


With wooden stakes and spry fast 
                              flying kicks,

how long before "The Chosen 
                              One's" just "Choice"

ground beef in 
                              well-armed vampires' taco mix?

A dozen 
                              vamps take aim. And then rejoice!


A 
                              missle-toting Buffy's day will come . . 
                              .

But pistol-packing Darla was "plain 
                              dumb."
