Damn, I need to read more on this blog -- it's even called "Overthinking it" FFS!

And maybe it's a bit ironic to use this icon for this post, but I actually think part of why Buffy had the popularity she did was because she dodged most of these bullets as a character. (and along those lines, I'm interested to read the post about Whedon from the same blog)
However, I've been a posting maniac the last few days, and I think it's time to set down the laptop and back away slowly.
