Great review, as always. I think you're ETA pretty much sums up where I'm at with the season at the moment... just scratching my head going, huh?
Random late night thoughts:
* Joss talks about his kids a lot. But it all looks so retro here. Are we building to the astonishing revelation that women should insist on having it all?
* Dawn's a goner. She has been since Living Doll and D/X just doubles down on it. I'd like to say it's so obvious that the twist is that she's not. But Dawn/Xander was supposed to be a shock too. The only mystery is if it'll be in #29 or #30. I'm thinking either end of #29 or #30.
* Allie's remarks seem to have given me license to feel grumphy about things I haven't grumped about until now. So forgive me for being late to the party -- but just why are we supposed to be gripped by the drama of Buffy trying to reconcile the slayer and human sides of her, when the writers can't be bothered to tell us how the balance got so out of whack in the first place?

That's it. I'm generally confused.
