a2zmom has a response to the
BtVS Season 8 debate. She makes some very good points. That said, I am feeling a little disturbed that I'll be one of those people ignoring S8 as part of canon. I always make an effort to remain true to the source material (despite the wild and wacky tangents I get off on), regardless of my feelings concerning a season, canonical pairing or event in the Jossverse. Knowing that I will be intentionally ignoring the new stuff, well, I'm feeling a little insecure and mutinous. I don't know if this new sensation will be enough to bring me on board with the comics, I guess only time will tell. As of right now, however, it's a no-go.
Annabel Lee by Edgar Allan Poe
It was many and many a year ago,
In a kingdom by the sea,
That a maiden there lived whom you may know
By the name of ANNABEL LEE;--
And this maiden she lived with no other thought
Than to love and be loved by me.
She was a child and I was a child,
In this kingdom by the sea,
But we loved with a love that was more than love--
I and my Annabel Lee--
With a love that the winged seraphs of heaven
Coveted her and me.
