Thanks!

Are we building to the astonishing revelation that women should insist on having it all?

Looks like. Except for the ones who are going to die for not wanting to have it all, perhaps. Right now my money is on Dawn and the Osbournes (god, that sounds wrong); not only would that be a huge emotional thing for those who are as invested in the comic characters as they were in the TV ones, but it would also underline that idea - Dawn, who apparently only wants to be with Xander rather than fight, and the Osbournes, who break up Black Sabbath again just want to live a quiet life. Isn't Dawn on the cover for #30, though?

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

Gabba gabba, we accept you, one of us, one of us! :-D

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?

Good question. I think the key here is to - oh look, yaks! Yaks funny.

...Seriously, I agree. But I guess you knew that. :-)
