Rambling thoughts on BTVS S7...Power, Get it Done, Vengeance

Been rewatching S7, halfway through the season now, just finished watching the climatic and somewhat controversial episode Get it Done - written and directed by Doug Petrie. Get it Done underlines how power can be abused, misunderstood and misused. Also how people often use power to control others. But, while watching it and First Date...the theme of vengeance kept hitting me, for some reason. Not from Buffy herself, she's actually the counter-point. During this Season, and it may well be why I'm enjoying it so much, Buffy decides to forgive those who hurt her, to let them back into her heart and redeem them. All of them. Not just one person, but everyone. It is how she defeats the first.

( another Buffy meta - cut for the people on my flist who don't like these things. )

I don't know what I'm trying to say tonight. It's been a tough day. And I'm frustrated.
So going to bed. If you can make sense of the above, kudos. Leaving it up for now.;-)
