But you won't be able to get deep meaningful answers from such simple questions. For the type of Buffy psycho-babble youre looking for try going here:  <a href="http://www.slayage.tv/index.shtml" target="_blank">http://www.slayage.tv/index.shtml</a>  All sorts of wannabe-literary types will pretentiously break down the Buffy-mythos into all the themes and symbols Joss and the writers intended and hundreds more that were never inteded.  I went to a Harry Potter Symposium just like it this July. Amusingly pretentious. The average essay probably isnt worth the paper its printed on but hey, these people actually sell BOOKS on this stuff. See Amazon.com  From Edena_of_Neith    Relax.  It's all in fun - at least for me it is for fun.  Whether the answers are serious or not serious, I look forward to the replies I get.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />  Heh, and I do not know the right questions to ask concerning Buffy.  I need to ask the questions, to find out what questions to ask, and I mean that!  Thanks for the URL.  I'll check it out.  People discuss their favorite authors all the time.  They have fun (well, sometimes they argue an awful lot (regards the Tolkien boards))  Posted by Stevalabny               CUZ SHES A HERO. heroes do good deeds without asking for rewards.  The Sunnydale problem wasnt as obvious in season 1. Also, you can probably safely assume that Angel/ the Mayor/ anyone else was taking care of stuff behind the scenes.  The Watchers arent idiots. Theyre just very stuck in their ways. Giles didnt talk to Buffy because he had no idea how to deal with a teenage California girl. Buffy didnt talk to Giles because he's an adult authority figure. Teenagers and adult authority figures NEVER sit down and talk to each other. This is the circle of life.  From Edena  Thanks for the feedback.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />  I agree, that teenagers and adults simply do not sit down and talk to each other.  I guess this is an analogy that Joss is drawing.  Posted by Stevalabny  Vampire ego. Now that their bodies are weapons, they will usually fight without any extra weaponry. Also, real world issues like budget probably affect this.  From Edena  Real world budgets?  Couldn't vampires simply steal what they wanted?  Breaking into stores would hardly be a problem for them!  Posted by Stevalabny I dont know you. Were you old enough 7 years ago to appreciate the show? Do you live somewhere with a WB channel? Were you trying to hard to be "cool" to discover a good show?  Do you not actively look for new TV shows (or other entertainment) figuring that someone else should do the work for you? It could be anything ranging from bad luck to serious psychological problems.  From Edena  Yep, was old enough.  Yep, have WB.  Nope, not trying to be cool.  (I'm Mr Carte Blanche, as some here know.)  Nope, don't ask folks to do the work for me.  Don't take my question so seriously!  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />  I'm kidding.  That question was meant humorously.</blockquote>
