Book 43 - Mark Field "Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Myth, Metaphor & Morality"

Mark Field "Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Myth, Metaphor & Morality" (E-book)



This has been one wonderful read on my tablet, and it has reminded me how much i love the TV series, the mythology behind it and the genius that is Joss Whedon.

The show has gained so much scholarly attention since it last aired in 2003. Mark Field's episode-by-episode reviews of the series are just , in my humble opinion, excellent critical analyses of the show incorporating many different focal points

Mark mentions the overall arc of the series from the first five to the controversial sixth and seventh seasons. It has also lead me back to re watching the whole series again as usually he has several gems to offer that I hadn't considered, and pointing out aspects of the show that seemed hidden at first. The insight is enervating.

It is a veritable feast of essays, with some great links, which will send you scurrying off to other sites. In total, this book is a must for any Buffy fan.

Greecing The Power Struggles

Agree with my bro here in which he has posted from the Guardian.

Greece is the latest battleground in the financial elite’s war on democracy.

Strike

It is not about pay , it is about passenger safety, the health of those working at night, and the right to choose night shifts than it being forced on them.
