It seemed pretty transparent to me. She was acting up and acting out, because her life sucked. Her father ignored her. She'd just found out she wasn't real. Her mother died. The only person who seemed to really love her died, and then was dragged out of heaven, and was a depressed crank who was ignoring her and babying her.
Did you all notice that klepto!dawn it was first presented in Intervention (still my almost favorite ep)? I still remember thinking Dawn Stealing the Earrings would be Very Important, and then eventually giving up. Of course, I still feel a bit like the Love, Give, Forgive was dropped a bit, although I guess that is what happened at the end of Chosen.
Also, in rewatching Intervention for the 50 millioneth time, I am so surprised at myself at the shock WRT to Buffy's death in the Gift. I mean, the first slayer out and out says "Death is your Gift." and "Love will lead you to your gift" and yet I was never so sure of anything as I was of Buffy not dying.
Just watched about half of the season 7 episode where Willow comes back from England.
I love the scene where Willow is talking to Spike in the basement of the high school and then it shows the same conversation with Spike speaking to Buffy and Xander.

Me too. That was pretty sweet.
I watched Gone this morning and noticed a silly detail I had missed before. As the tiny kings are preparing to test the invisibility ray, Warren says something about Jonathan having scouted the site enough before. I had noticed that the shop next to them was a Spa, but just this morning I noticed the "Bikini Wax Wednesdays" on the window. And yes, we know it was Wednesday due to the conversation with the social worker in the scene prior.
Funny, lexine.

I've been working my way through my shiny new S6 DVDs and, since I was leaving on a trip last Friday, I tossed the third DVD into y laptop before I got on the plane.
In retrospect, this might not have been the best DVD to watch knowing that plenty of others would be watching me watch it. I personally love Smashed, Wrecked, and Gone, but I kept wondering what the people next to me were thinking watching Spike and Buffy knock each other around and then get it on and Willow with her crack!magic highs.
Heh, Nonian, probably wishing they could be watching what you were watching. The Meg Ryan effect, ya know?
probably wishing they could be watching what you were watching
Yeah, i suppose that could also be why they were watching. It's certainly an eye-catching group of episodes.
Joining NovaChild in the 'I really like Dawn' corner. Mind you, not watching the second half of season 6 was a big help there. I had to reread the AYW shooting script to get the 'Get out! Get out! Get out!' reference.
She was so cool in the first season 7 ep. I actually thought I was going to like the show again when I watched that, and then it all went to hell again.
