Oh, I like that, 0 to 7 in however many days.
Zoe: Yeah? Thought you'd get land crazy that long in port. Wash: Probably, but I've been sane a long while now, and change is good.

Have we closed out the goodbye to 2002 thread?
Are we discussing what to do about the Firefly thread?

Have we closed out the goodbye to 2002 thread?
I think some folks still haven't received their loot.

119 days? I was ball parking it but I couldn't remember if it was August or September.

I want to know who Dead Gay Larry is.
He was around in season 3 (maybe in 2 as well).
Except for most of that time, he wasn't actually dead. (With Buffy you need to specify these things.)

The show with characters with pre-dead and post-dead plot lines.

Yeah, poor Larry didn't die until "Graduation Day Pt2", when he was hit for a mighty six by the Mayor's tail. (Do snakes have tails?)

While the conversation has touched on the FAQ...
Dawn appears to be what Faith referred to in her much-discussed prophecy dream non sequitur, "Little Miss Muffett, counting down from 7-3-0," (from Graduation Day Part 2 ) and "Little sis coming...So much to do before she gets here," (from This Year's Girl) as well as Buffy's comments about "making a bed" for someone in Restless. The significance of the Little Miss Muffett epithet as attached to Dawn is unclear. "7-3-0" may be a measure of time, as in days (365 x 2), indicating the breakdown of dimensions that occurred at the end of Season Five which was initiated by The Key. (This timeline is based on the fact that Faith made this comment at the end of Season Three.)
Just wanted to say something about this paragraph in the FAQ. I'm extrapolating based on the comments made by Joss in the Jossentary for "Restless".
Dawn appears to be what Faith referred to in her much-discussed prophecy dream non sequitur, "Little Miss Muffett, counting down from 7-3-0," (from Graduation Day Part 2 )...
While he doesn't go into details, he does state that the line, "Little Miss Muffett, counting down from 7-3-0" is the first direct reference to Dawn.
...and "Little sis coming...So much to do before she gets here," (from This Year's Girl)...
In Doug Petrie's commentary for this episode he says nothing about this line but it is safe to say this is another reference to Dawn's imminent appearance.
...as well as Buffy's comments about "making a bed" for someone in Restless.
This scene is confirmed as a direct reference to the coming of Dawn.
Dream!Buffy: "Faith and I just made that bed."
Dream!Tara: "For who?"
Dream!Buffy: "I though you were here to tell me."
[snipped dialog]
a shot of a digital clock displaying "7:30"
The scene then ends with Dream!Tara saying, "Be back before Dawn."
"7-3-0" may be a measure of time, as in days (365 x 2), indicating the breakdown of dimensions that occurred at the end of Season Five which was initiated by The Key. (This timeline is based on the fact that Faith made this comment at the end of Season Three.)
Sounds good. However, 7-3-0 was also the time displayed on the digital clock, so it could be interpreted as the time when Dawn would first be named. Of course, since the actual line started with "Miles to go", it may also be nothing more than the means to end a rhyme. :)
