I think it's time to call for a Media Vampire Moratorium. In recognition of its past glory, the producers of Buffy should be allowed to continue for another season. But that's it. No vampire allegories, no vampire metafictions, no movies about a platoon of Americans behind enemy lines in WWII who find themselves up against the Nazis' secret WampyrTruppen or anything like that. Give it a rest until 2005, at minimum.
