Hi, I'ma bit surprised. I've just got Buffy season 5, where Dawn first
appears and nothing is said to explain neither her origins nor the reason
why she is there.
Could anyone tell me wether she has yet been mentioned in the past seasons
and why she has come to live whith her mother and sister. The way she's
introduced to us let supposed that it logical or préviouly announced or
explained. What did I miss ? All the more so as no character seem to wonder
or be surprised by her beeing ther.

I'm going to manfully refrain from pointing out the big part Dawn played
in the season 1 episode, "Run Juliet!"

I don't think you're really helping matters - we now have to try and work
out the French for "pulling your leg" :-)

Ok, someone is pulling my leg and I've got what it means...but who does and
saying what? Is it when I'm told that Dawn already appears somewhere during
season one?

The story of Dawn appearing in Season One is an in-joke (I'm sorry, I don't
know the French for that!) on another Newsgroup - so the poster was being
doubly naughty.

Ok, since I'm the naughty person...

You are supposed to be exactly as confused as you are about Dawn,
especially if you've seen the next episode, The Real Me. It may have
slipped by you, but in Buffy versus Dracula, there are at least two
references in the episode to Buffy being an only child, before you have
the scene at the end with Buffy and Dawn.

What is going on with Dawn, and why everyone is acting like she's always
been there, will be explained in future episodes.

Given that set up, along the way, various posters started falling into
the habit of making references to previous episodes as if Dawn had been
in them. From there, the next step was to start referring to
non-existent Dawn-centric episodes in previous seasons.

The specific one I was politely not bringing up, 'Run Juliet!', comes
from a reference to an unseen event that took place while the Scoobies
were still in high school. Since the reference comes from the early part
of season 6, I really shouldn't explain it to you (and in terms of the
show, it isn't really important, just a reference to something that
happened that we didn't see).

Very well, everything's getting clear right now !
Actually since my last mail, I've eventully watched more episodes of season
5. Thanks to that, I've got the explaination I had asked you. I suppose
I'had been a bit too much impatient.
Thank to all of you guys who spent time to answer to me anyway.
