Innocence (Post One)

I nailed it. I really did. The episode was dry, I thought the water imagery had ended and I still didn't know why...then...swoosh!

Climatic battle IN THE MALL and....the sprinklers go off. Buffy and Angel are sloshing around from the beginning of the fight through Buffy walking away, unable to kill him--yet.

NOW I have to think about it, because it's clear that the water is symbolic. In the context of each separate water-event, I can give you symbolic interpretations, but as an overall theme....still deciding.

Oh--and I never noticed it before, but this is the episode when Willow finds her backbone.

How fun! TTFN
