The Buffy the Vampire Slayer Theory

So I realize I jumped on this boat wicked late...like between nine and sixteen years late...but I have a new-found fascination with the show because:

A) I've been into Joss Whedon since the first time I saw Firefly, Serenity, and Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog (Neil Patrick Harris FTW).

B) unlike Twilight, the vampires in Buffy the Vampire Slayer are actual vampires; not sparkly little faeries.

When I first started watching Buffy (like 18 months ago) I got to the part where Angel turned evil and gave up cuz, lets face it, even with a penchant for bad guys (Snape, Dexter, Loki...), I couldn't do the whole "Angel is evil and trying to destroy everything" thing. But, I decided to give it the O'College try.

As I came to the tantamount episode in which Angel reverts back to his old ways, I came upon a grand realization:

Angel turned evil because, after spending the night with Buffy, he experienced a moment of true happiness, thereby breaking the curse set upon him and removing his humanity. Therefore, I have drawn this conclusion:

Don't have pre-marital sex with your boyfriend [girlfriend]. He [she] may turn into a certifiable whack-a-doo maniac bent on his [her] sick and violently twisted, albeit extremely creative revenge.

As I wrap this up, I realize it sounds uber-nerdy on about seven different levels, but hey, that's why I called it a Peculiar Heart.
