Greetings,

I'm sorry Dan, but I have to totally, and completly disagree.

Not with the 'Dark Willow' is bad angle, nor the 'Having Angst Willow, or
Remorse Willow' possibility sucks rocks.

What I disagree with though is your sweep and clear statement that any blood
on Willow's hands would 'ruin' her character. Not being the creator and not
having that control I can't be sure, but it wouldn't be for me.

It would be intresting to see her be pieced back together. What my fear is
that they DON'T! That for some reason she goes from bad, to worse and windsup
being S7 Big Bad, that would suck beyond the capabilities for Oral Service
that a Black Hole can offer you.(Or the collective talent of the entire
eastern seaboard prostitute union, whichever is greater)

However, 'Blood On the Hands' does not a character nor person ruin. Though
fiction would certainly have you believe that. I'm not thinking it doesn't
change a person, but on the whole I think the masses of humanity have to, and
can, deal with the idea of being killers. 

Oh, sure you could drag out scores of reports about post traumatic stress
disorders from various arms of the military service and I'm not dismissing
them, but on the whole these people recover, they move on and are still,
possibly in a dimished capacity, WHO THEY ORIGINALLY WERE!

Now, my major bitch with television as a whole is this ridiculious idea that
these kind of things are cut and dried, black and white. They're not.

I know for a fact that if _ANYONE_ hurt my wife(Male, female, child, adult,
senior citizen or presendtial canidate) they would be weeks in the dying atmy
hands. But I'm also confidant that this would not alter me from who and what I
am, a decent enough chap with perhaps a touch too much rage in my soul but
well under controll.

I agree totally, this season sucked(And I havn't even seen it past OMWF) and
that the whole sitation that created this scenarior is rockworthy in the
suckage, however be that as it may I HAVE to finish the story and I find such
a twisted chain of evens suspsiscious, going hand in hand with such a drop in
quality.

So, I'm thinking something is afoot. Maybe not to be revealed this season but
Somthing has to happen. What's the alternative? Stop watching? Heh, not on
your life.

Willow IS, and Willow WILL BE. I'm that convinced. 

Others would say obsessed but I ignore them(And my medications).

It has to be this way.

It just _HAS_ too.

I remain, as always,

There is only one thing that can damn me.
That can send me down in a swirling maelstrom of fire and pain.
And it is not the word of Man.
And it is not the lessons and rules of the Church, hypocrites every one.
And it is not the words of God, nor the judgements of Angels.
And it not a fair tribunal of my 'peers' that can find me guilty of crimes
immortal.
No. 
I can only be accused, judged and damned by my own Soul.
And I would never be so betrayed.
