- this aint so new... any previous threads? PLEASE direct me... -

just watched Damage again and it seems that Dana, the 'crazed' slayer is very much a template for River... though she (and the episode) never get a mention. Her hair, stance, movements and dialogue are all eerily reminiscent of River.

The escape from the mental asylum...

The kick ass - door smashing - lit from under 'hero moment'...

the madness caused by torture etc - and then the rescue by competing forces...

i can't believe joss didn't write it! apparently it was Steven S de Knight (who i wish had had a chance on firefly) and Drew Goddard... so a link there maybe...

the 'arc' of the episode from madness to remembering to 'some sort of a future' (nah, still a sack of hammers) is precisely River's.
(with more damage and less vomit!)

It's interesting you bring the Dana/River connection into discussion as it reminds me of a fan sort of trailer for a Buffy/Angel/Firefly/Serenity crossover I saw a while back and just tracked down.

Great observation. I have commented in the past, as have others, I'm sure of the 'crazy' girl syndrome that is often found in Joss's stories. Remember, Fred was 'crazy' and captive for a time, until she was rescued. Faith was nuts too, for a bit. And who could forget Buffy in the Mental Asylum ( or was she ? ) All intelligent, young, attractive women, with unique abilities, held against their will. Dana, last we heard, was the only one incapable of escaping her demons though.

It is not those who use the term "Islamo-Fascism" who are sullying the name of Islam; it is the Islamo-Fascists. - Dennis Prager
