This is one of those seasons I'm really glad to have not been in the fandom then because it was so messy. I hate the scene in the bathroom because, knowing a good portion of the back story, including both characters ancient history, you really can see the steps that lead to the behaviour and it does make Buffy look partially culpable, which is way icky, especially to me, as a loud and proud, in one's face feminist.

As much as I love Firefly, season six Buffy and Season 3 Angel suffered from Joss being distracted by a shiny new space western with spookers and sp-belly dancers (from Alan Tudik's commentary on one of the Firefly eps. ;-p), especially the end of Buffy season 6. Joss and his stable of writers were paying way more attention to the new show and letting Buffy and Angel just sort of coast.
