Hmm...

An interesting theory from mrthursday

Based on Dracula’s infamous quote (“Your power is rooted in darkness”) and Giles quick comments about the beginning of this world (“It didn’t start as a paradise”), I think the slayer is the direct off shoot of…First Evil,

In Judeo-Christian Myth (and Islamic for that matter), ultimate evil (Qlippoth Satan/Lucifer or Iblis respectively) is the product of ultimate good (well not so much in Jewish legend but bear with me).
In the Buffy Universe, the world started evil with good forces eventually gaining the upper hand but evil always threatening to return (oh so very Lovecraft!). So it makes sense for the ultimate force for good in the Buffy universe to be the product of the ultimate evil.

The Slayer is the daughter of the First Evil. Mark my words!

Mucho mirth

Oh it's been a fun evening. Group of us got together to play a game of Mah Jong with the set that Tom bought just after Christmas. I kicked everyone's asses the first time and overall Tom came last. It was hysterical! The game which he claimed to know all about and we all beat him, bearing in mind the rest of us only learnt how to play tonight.

Then we watched Bill Bailey's Bewilderness DVD. STILL the funniest thing I have ever seen in my life. Dave and Dee were in stiches, as were me and Tom.

Many, many thanks to padfoot_uk for introducing it to me.

Tom then got all wistful and asked when padfoot_uk and ballistichimp would be coming to visit next. Aww!
