I was considering the Lovecraftian elements and overtones in "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and "Angel" (more notable in the latter, particularly Illyria and the Deeper Well), when my mind made a sudden connection:
"Yog-Sothoth knows the gate. Yog-Sothoth is the gate. Yog-Sothoth is the key and guardian of the gate. Past, present, future, all are one in Yog-Sothoth." --H.P. Lovecraft, "The Dunwich Horror" (Emphasis added).
Add to this the fact that a certain group of monks were called the "Order of Dagon."
Now let's take a second look at Dawn
--The Twisted One"Welcome to Fanboy Hell. You will be spending eternity here, in a small room with Jar-Jar Binks and Dobby the house-elf."
"If you
wish to converse with me, define your
terms."
--Voltaire
