    I think Buffy cutting her hair isn't just a "girl who's really going through it" move, although it's that too. It's specifically a reaction to Spike saying he loves her hair and calling her Goldilocks. With "Just make me...different," I think she's saying she wants to be someone who isn't appealing to Spike and isn't drawn to him. She wants to be a responsible adult who would never mess around with Spike and would never neglect Dawn or not be ready for a Social Services visit.
    As a side note - I really enjoy Spike leaning so fully into his menacing/seductive bad boy act and then switching immediately once he realizes who the social worker is.

    Yes. I’ve often thought being invisible implies blindness. One exception is fake invisibility using holographic active camouflage. If every point on your outfit was a tiny screen that emits light in every direction then you can feed it images to make you nearly invisible like Predator.
    Your pupils or camera lenses may still be visible because they have to receive and not reflect light but the eyes would still work correctly.

      To be fair, Doris was also a horrible social worker who spent all of 2 minutes with Buffy and Dawn.
      She came to the house seemingly already strongly leaning toward recommending Buffy be stripped of her guardianship based on Dawn’s grades slipping after the loss of her mother and her father being a deadbeat. Any reasonable social worker would’ve been much more understanding even with the unintended car accident comment.

Some other shows I like are Buffy, Angel, Dexter, Better Call Saul, Narcos, The 100, Lost, Game of Thrones, Wentworth, The Boys, Dragon Ball franchise. I name these shows so that if you think they're good too than you should know that The Last Kingdom should be as well.

    The Trio aren’t everyone’s cup of tea, but I do appreciate the levity they bring to the season. And things get pretty dark with them moving forward. Their villainy felt much closer to home as it’s a mentality that unfortunately a lot of people share.
    I liked how they used their favorite Bond actors to shed light on their characterizations back in 6x05 Life Serial. Warren is the Connery fan, Jonathan is the Moore fan, and Andrew is the Dalton fan. If you know anything about Sean Connery then it’s very telling that Warren prefers the “man’s man” who regularly abuses women and is the symbol of toxic masculinity. Jonathan loves Moore and that Bond was a goofier and more whimsical Bond. He is the spy fantasy, and that fits Jonathan to a tee as his fantasy world in Superstar was basically Roger Moore’s Bond. Andrew’s love of Dalton is more representative of who Andrew wants to be. He loves the suave and gentlemanly persona of Dalton’s Bond, which is who Andrew would like to be. I also find it interesting that Dalton is the least popular Bond with only two movies, and Andrew is the member of the trio that no one knows as he is only here because he’s Tucker’s brother (villain in the Prom episode).

    i think i'll let buffy off for hurting the feelings of an evil demon who's killed hundreds of humans. she can use him all she likes with no guilty conscience as far as i'm concerned. him being a great, fun comedic characters doesn't change the weighing up of the morals there.

    Here we see Buffy acting as a kind of 'sponsor' for Willow trying to cleanse the house of anything that might tempt Willow to have a relapse. We can see how frosty the Dawn/Willow relationship has now become. Interesting with Spike and Buffy in the kitchen, her addiction to him is also now critical too, as she can't seem to resist his advances. Some comedy with the Probation Inspector with the bag of weed (btw there is a hilarious outtake from this scene on youtube with Buffy, Spike and The Social Services woman, where SMG comes out with hilarious x-rated comment about what Spike is doing to her after dinner, it's well worth a look), but again it is serious as it could lead to Buffy losing Dawn, coupled with what the Inspector sees as really strange characters living there such as Willow and Spike. The Trio now are irritating beyond endurance, and continue to make Buffy's life even more difficult. Buffy actually seems to be enjoying being invisible at this stage as she can now exploit her urges and desires for Spike without getting caught. When Xander comes into the crypt we have the funny, but ridiculous scenario of Spike pretending he is exercising. We have to ask ourselves the uncomfortable question here, is Buffy exploiting Spike? Crazy I know, but this is what is actually happening here. He is being used for her own sexual gratification, with no consequences for her, interesting juxtaposition in role reversal between the two, we even see the soulless Spike being almost hurt by her attitude towards him. Comedy relief at then end with the word 'nemesis' nemesises' etc. Great conversation with Buffy and Willow at the end. A lot to unpack in this episode, hence the lengthy comment. I loved S6, but can see why many did not.

    Willow still being in that house is wrong and Buffy still allowing it is wrong. Dawn has just as much a right to be upset with Buffy for that as she does a right to be upset with Willow for the previous episode. And Buffy doesn't seem to understand Dawn's issues. It isn't that she allowed it to happen (although that is part of it). It's that allowing Willow to stay is Buffy still allowing the potential for it to happen. As her sister's guardian, Dawn should be Buffy's priority and she isn't. Willow should move out of Revello Drive considering her actions and considering Buffy's legal responsibility with Dawn to Social Services. If they find out Willow is in the house after "being high" (they won't even have to know about magic) Buffy will lose her rights as guardian and could lose any rights to even see her. Also, If Buffy was frustrated at Spike for being there when Social Services shows up, why didn't she just give him his lighter when he asked for it aka before Doris Kroeger showed up? It's a rhetorical question, because despite the end of the last episode (and despite Doris being on her way), she didn't want him to go. In my opinion, Buffy shows she shouldn't be legally responsible for Dawn. Doris Kroeger was right in her assessment of Buffy. Buffy changing that when she's invisible by making Doris look crazy enough to need a vacation with Buffy getting herself a second appointment doesn't change the fact that she shouldn't be Dawn's legal guardian.
    Every offense to Willow and her offense at feeling like she's being blamed, but she hasn't earned trust back yet.
    So, Buffy while invisible, and with Spike not aware of what's happening, throws herself at him sexually. That's sexual assault as long as he doesn't know what's happenning. And she doesn't tell him (until she says "Stop trying to see me"), he has to figure out what's going on. So until he figures out it's Buffy, she is sexually assulting him. I've seen people try to argue unlimited consent, but considering people can change their minds (Buffy is proof of that during this season) unlimited conscent is an exuse to sexually molest and rape. Then after Xander leaves, Spike tells Buffy to get her clothes and go home. She instead gives him a blow job. The next scene we see Buffy in, she is upset Spike kicked her out. How is it that Spike kicked her out considering he would either have to stop her to kick her out, or force her off him? That is also rhetorical.. The reason the scene cut away after Spike said, "That's cheating," and had Buffy saying Spike kicked her out is because Buffy was doing something horriblly wrong.
    I looked up California's law back when people tried to argue against Angel sleeping with an underage Buffy in S2 (also a crime Angel commits). Not only is Buffy in the wrong in going against Spike's wishes about not getting her clothes and leaving when he asked her to (and instead giving a blow job he cannot even acknowledge until it's happenning), but not letting him know in advance what was going on when she arrived and started touching him is morally and legally wrong. Spike being soulless and the law not taking mythology into consideration doesn't change these wrongs to rights in any kind of way. She did two absolutely, horrible wrongs no matter what. And neither of them were the sex itself Xander didn't know he witnessed.
    And on top of all of this, Marketa is right about Buffy using Spike (confirmed with Buffy's last lyrics in the musical episode: "This isn't real, but I just want to feel"). And with him being soulless there is an incredibly high chance that won't end well.
    I love Chris saying none of the adults around Dawn are being adults. It's literally the theme of the season. The failure of growing up. If your looking for someone to be doing something right: Tara after she leaves Willow (because even she helped resurrected Buffy and is therefore indirectly responsible for Buffy's state of depression (and the resulting issues she has with Spike). And Dawn comes in second with her kleptomania. Everyone else is so much further down on the right scale that it's rare to see any right-doings.

One of the reasons why I prefer Buffy to be alone (single) in the show. xD

      @@RetroRobotRadio Nah, he Gave In. It may be toxic AF but its still consensual. People need to be allowed to "give it up", and face the consequences of their choices (provided they are Consenting Adults with no mental or chemical impairments.) Otherwise people lose their Agency, and the decision as to whether or not one consented, or can consent, ends up being decided by others. The more common version of people not having agency in regard to consent is SA victims being told, "Clearly you wanted it." Also Teens when they are Rightfully told, "No you're too young, that was Statutory, your Teacher is going to jail."
      But Imagine. You find out your crush is into you as well, they confront you in public with a surprise embrace, pull you into a quiet corner and despite initial reservations due to the sudden shock, you say "you know what, eff it, we're both consenting adults" and make love to them for the first time. The next morning you wake up full of joy and hope, excited for what your new relationship will bring into your life.....and then you see your crush in handcuffs on the news, because your tryst was caught on a security camera and interpreted as rape because you resisted at first.....
      You might say, "I never even called the cops!" But neither did Spike.
      Having said all that, i think they were going for the "Turning invisible makes you immoral and/or crazy" trope. Similar to what they did with Marcie, the first invisible girl. Because WOW did Buffy lose her shit on that poor lady from social services, like if that were my mom being told to kill people and effed with by the HERO of all people, i would go all SRA (Slayer Registration Act) on the Scoobies, like "you MF's have too much power!"
