I'm so glad it worked for you - I was getting a bit worried as I worked that I'd veered off pretty seriously from your original request by getting into the series' take on heaven and hell and whatnot rather than the allegorial aspects, but it always seemed to me that the allegory was just there more for flash than meaning anyway... figured going into those proofs too heavily might be sort of annoying and/or pointless.
I was raised Catholic myself, so I likewise feel a bit sensitive about the idea of being told what is or is not okay to believe... although that said, I was always kind of annoyed by how the BtVS characters in particular never seemed to give any of this stuff any real thought. It made them come off as careless about morality more often than not, hardly a good position to claim spiritual superiority from.
And I so owe you comments on your Angel and Spike essay! I loved that - I think you originally posted it when I had my major laptop crash. But more on this tomorrow.... : )
