Re: OT—Where_is_the_Love?_—SPOILERS!!

[Femvamp <femvamp000@xxxxxxxxx>]

Spoiler Section...fdfsdsdfsdssdfsdfdsalright here's my thoughts.Personally I like the idea of an evil Willow. Think about it it makes perfect sense. Willow is supposed to be the voice of morality of the show. But what happens when the voice of morality does something immoral....she raises the dead.Willow has a heart of gold, which is a valuable commodity. Think what would happen if she knowingly...or unknowing sells it. Even if it is for altruistic purposes (and I truly think it was).Willow is a good person. Never forget that. But even good people can be tempted by power, love, anger, jelousy, and loss.Willow just might have sold her soul to get back the one person she couldn't bare to live without.FemvampHey and Evil Willow might be fun to watch.--- danspector@xxxxxxxxx wrote:> Six extremely depressed hours after "Flooded" aired?> > W> E> E> P> I> N> G > > F> O> R> > "> M> Y> > W> I> L> L> O> W> "> > You know, this whole thing just sickens me.
