 Marti Noxon said of the episode All the Way: “That one was interesting, but there were two things wrong with it. The romance between Dawn and the vampire never took off. We’d hoped it would be bittersweet, but they didn’t quite make the connection. So in some ways it wasn’t quite as resonant as we’d hoped it would be. And the other thing is that Joss felt that we should have shored up Dawn’s character more at the beginning. If we’d been into Dawn’s space in the beginning, then the rest of it might have played better. I tend to agree. We sort of boned that one a little bit. What I did like about it was that it was sort of old school Buffy. You go out with these guys and, guess what? They’re vampires. Not very complicated in the metaphor, but very dead on. So I liked the simplicity of it. It we’d only made a few adjustments, it would have been better.” |

Did you notice how sort of awkward the kissing of Dawn and the vamp was in this episode. It really didn’t work. I think he was too old looking for her and her lips were a little big and out of control.
December 21st, 2005 at 4:12 am
That guy just plain skeeved me…
AND it looks like s’blue broke the site, ala b’pleases hyper-italics move of a few days ago…
Paging Jess…clean up on “Marti on Dawn’s Romance”!!
December 21st, 2005 at 4:13 am

December 21st, 2005 at 4:13 am
You are in SO much trouble, s’blue!
December 21st, 2005 at 4:14 am

Referring to the Buffy Trivia Guide Code of Conduct, section 8, paragraph 2(a)(ii): “Any poster who causes all subsequent posts to be in italics will have his or her posting privileges suspended for a period of not more than 10 days. There will be no exceptions.”
To the penalty box with you, s’blue!

…I’m telling…
December 21st, 2005 at 4:19 am
let’s see if this fixes it….
Well?
December 21st, 2005 at 4:19 am
I already sent her an email, but it sure makes my snotty attitude a lot more difficult to pull off when I’ve broken the site! I’m so ashamed….
December 21st, 2005 at 4:19 am
Nope…you’re f***ed, s’blue!
December 21st, 2005 at 4:20 am
nope, didn’t work. are you supposed to use the slash when trying to use italics? See, I’m lost and I’ve just gummed up the whole works!
December 21st, 2005 at 4:21 am
Friends don’t let friends use html drunk.
December 21st, 2005 at 12:49 pm
Don’t worry about the italics. The trick is to finish the italics using a forward slash.
December 21st, 2005 at 1:02 pm
Sorry - forgot to add this link too. It’s a html cheatsheet.
December 21st, 2005 at 1:06 pm
Sorry for being somewhat absent of late - I’m starting a new job in January so I’ve been mad busy trying to finish up my old job properly before I leave and getting trained into the new one. Plus my evenings have been a social whirl for once, so I’ve had no time to put into the site lately.
I’m finishing up at work today and heading back to my folks house for Christmas tomorrow and then I promise I’ll be back properly in the New Year!
December 21st, 2005 at 2:12 pm
And the prodical webmaster returns!
December 21st, 2005 at 3:32 pm
Thanks for the fix Jess! Sorry about the crazy italics-ness!

In reference to somethingblue’s comment about the awkward kiss between Dawn and her vampy friend…I think it was awkward because it was Dawn’s first kiss and she didn’t know what she was doing….and they didn’t really connect. And he was a vampire.
Or the actors just had no chemistry.
