Ok,Ok. I just finished saying that the PG books are what got me into the show but
looking back, I have to agree. Every fight between Lynda and Spike is described as
a metaphor with something about who has "the ball in thier court" or "the trump
card". The whole thing between Sarah and Billy was described as "Defense and
Prosecution" or something and it gets annoying.
