Am I the only one who sees a little analogy in the episode?
The commander of an army is convinced the enemy's got some kind of secret weapon hidden in their fortress and decides to attack. The commander's friends and closest allies see the numerous flaws in this harebrained plan, call the commander on it, and are told to "fall in line."
Sound at all familiar?

he's been in several episodes -- including buffy's birthday party where there were other people -- and he explains his look as a "skin condition." i guess people buy it

Hahaha! You know, I wonder if that is intentional or a coincidence. Joss has repeatedly expressed his distaste for the man in charge, maybe this is a pseudo-commentary on that.

I dunno, I rewatched it finally.
I think it progressed reasonably. I mean, Xander might be arrogant, but he doesn't like getting hurt. That would be tramatising(sp?), as it would the two dying slayers to be, to all of them. Plus, Anya leads most of the discussion. I think the way Dawn reacted is the only thing in question, which could be a bit too strong for a sister.(but I'm not certain, I wasn't just exposed to all this stuff)
I think it was a pretty good ep, I only wish it had more Caleb in it. He's definetly one of the best villians they've done in my mind :)

Remember that in "Conversations" Joyce told Dawn that Buffy would not chose her when the time came. Dawn has reason to believe very strongly that Buffy will turn against her or abandon her. (Heck, Buffy promised last season to teach Dawn, and then dropped that promise the moment a bunch of potential slayers walked through the door.)
