Okay. There are not many things that piss me off. [Says everyone who knows Eve, "Yeah, sure."]

Shut up.

But everyone who watches ALIAS should go read this post by corngirl_jo where she speaks about 'Blood Ties'. [Is this blood? Am I real? Wait, ooops. Wrong fandom

Oh wow. I just read the 'Seeing Red' essay you linked to, and I agree wholeheartedly. I have learned to forgive almost every Jossverse writer -- except for Marti Noxon. And it all boils down to the fact that she just threw the idea for the attempted rape into the script barely a week before it went out. That screams of the Alias scripting technique that I meantioned in this post.

But as much as I thematically love S6 [well, in a certain sense], the fact remains that, like you said, it just swung back and forth and back and forth and back and forth and I didn't know what the writers were trying to say. And back in 2001 on the Buffy Cross & Stake, when we first learned that they were shifting the plot, the visible excitement that almost everyone had about the upcoming season just kinda got...confused. Everyone was commenting on the HUGE change between Tabula Rasa and Smashed. Gah. Apparently my S6 issues are still loud and roudy. I still have to do what I've always meant to do and objectively analyze Buffy's actions and character, focusing on S6 and its aftermath. [I mean, it's obvious from the beginning that Resurrected!Buffy is not mentally or emotionally stable -- the first thing she tries to do is kill herself.] Anyway. That's for another time and place. ;)

Anyway, if you still want to read my S/B fic [I think it caters to our type of S/B], it's right here. And I didn't know you had a new site! I've been neglecting you, I feel so bad. ::hugs::
