...gotten ever more touching and audacious in its fifth season. See this year's outlandish subplot, in which Whedon introduced Buffy's younger sister Dawn - we'd never seen her before but the cast acted like she'd been there all along -who turned out to be an ancient mystical "key" disguised by a spell that made her friends and family believe they'd known her for years. What first seemed like a clumsy way of adding someone to the cast turned out to be both a great spoof on how aging TV shows meddle with their casts...
...news refueled some ancient rivalries, revived the most basic questions about what price our children pay for the hours we work and the choices we make. Parents peered into the data looking for themselves, but clear distinctions were hard to find. So far, the unpublished study has offered us only two kinds of children: those raised at home by their mothers (about 1 in 4 children) and everyone else.

The onlookers appear slightly altered in both works, as does a large wolf-like dog. The presence of the animal could be a reference to Anubis, the jackal-headed son of Osiris and his other sister Nefis. The concept of the re-membering having taken place in modern time also reappears...
