>>Oh, the finances thing aggitates me to no end! I'm sorry, I know it'stelevision, but if you're going to play the "Buffy and Dawn are so poor" angle, don't have them dressing in leather and going out all the time. It was "Oh, I'm so poor" then "I guess I'm not poor now" Then "Oops, poor again!" *Shakes head* <<

I may be a bit late for this discussion, but what the heck I'll throw in mytwo cent's worth. I agree with you on the finances thing Regina. I was wondering the other night how Buffy is paying the mortgage on a fast-food salary, not to mention keeping Dawn and her fed and clothed! Perhaps dad is helping out? Who knows. I know this is a fantasy show but that angle could be more realistic.

<<Yeah, had to love all that Anya/Dawn tension this week. Oh, wait, there 
wasn't any. Gee, that would be like Buffy having a total breakdown over 
her relationship with Spike one week and then barely blinking when he's 
in her house, hitting on her in front of all the people she's terrified 
will hate her, the next. >>

I know when I'm caught stealing, my punishment is going to a club.  


<<In December, I complained that we had the finances subplot in "Flooded" 
and "Life Serial" and then it totally vanished. Someone on a board 
sneered at me, telling me it would be back in "Doublemeat Palace". Gee, 
I never knew you were supposed to drop subplots cold for seven eps and 
hope the audience remembers them.>>

<<Likewise, why couldn't Dawn have been show shoplifting in "Gone" or 
"Dead Things"? She's already acting out. Instead, they have her steal 
in "All the Way" and "OMWF" and then nothing until seven eps later in 
"Older and Far Away". >>

I'm so fed up with the general use of Dawn's character lately, I'm not even going to get started. She fell victim to the "B/S Porn Hour" curse and is only brought out when someone needs to yell at her, or it's otherwise convienent.


<<And if Amy is going to go all big Bad on us, shouldn't she have put in 
an appearance in the last 3 eps? No major bad has ever taken 3 straight 
eps off. >>

I just don't know how Amy got all evil in the first place. Sure when we last saw her, she was conning teachers into thinking they had her paper, but she wasn't going to magic drug dealers. The fact that she jumped at the chance to take Willow to Rack implied she KNEW he existed. How, When, Where? Can we have a LITTLE BIT of backstory here?


<<Well, there Xander's resentment at being the left-behind "townie" takes 
a 15-ep break from "Beer Bad" to "The Yoko Factor", but they do keep 
better track of B/R, W/T, the Initiative/Adam and Spike's changing 
situation than they do with this year's plots. >>

Don't deconsturct my anger.


<<PS-good luck with your AP test results. >>

Well Sociology and Computer Lit were cake, but the History of Westren Civwas hard.
