I think it might still have some life, too. I mean, surely other Bangels or Spuffies will want to try their hands at this fun little exercise. It was, well, fun!
And sorry if I stirred up trouble. I was just trying to tease Keanoite. It was all meant in good fun.
As for the question of did I mean what I wrote about Bangel? Umm, aside from the all other loves will be found wanting part, yeah. I did. I do see their relationship as the invoke-the-gods sort of romantic love. I'm not really anti-Bangel when Buffy is in high school. In fact, I like Bangel. I'm just more in favor of Spuffy as a relationship that could actually have a future. 🙂
