I bet you've looked evil sometimes.

Comparing real life and real people with fiction in this manner doesn't work. In fiction, everything happens the way it happens for a reason. It wasn't a mistake of tone and facial expression that made Dawn look like that; it was carefully crafted by the actress, the director, and the writers.

And the Powers That Be, don't forget them! I KNOW they had something to do with it!
Go back and watch it! It's a "Here, Mummy, have some of those lovely tea I made with deadly nightshade! It's YUMMY and will make you feel better. Pay no mind to where Buffy is, just stay here with me and you'll no longer have ANY WORRIES!"

That's exactly how I saw it! The question is, WHY did the director, writers, and actress decide to play it that way when Dawn WASN'T evil? It wasn't even vague and inconclusive, like much of Wood's early behavior, it was just a weird scene designed to make Dawn look evil that wasn't ever explained!
 
So you people are saying that Dawn purposfully tried to look and act evil to Joyce? Doubt it.

To make you SUSPECT that shes evil. But it dosnt mean Dawn was trying to act evil, thats just how we interpreted it.
 
We're saying Michelle Trachtenburg, Doug Petrie, and David Solomon conspired to make us think that Dawn was evil when she really wasn't. It was a big fake-out that they never tried to explain later. MOST of their fake-outs have logical explanations later, but this one didn't.

It did have a logical explanation. It was to put you in Buffys shoes so you'd think Dawn MIGHT be evil.
But i dont think Dawn was attempting to look evil, it just came across that way.
Am i missing something here?
 
But Buffy wasn't there! Dawn was talking to Joyce all alone! So there was no need for her to "look" evil at all if she's not.
 
You Lou, im asking repeatedly coz you AINT givin a straight answer

Damn you. She wasnt meaning to look evil. :cheering:
 
I DID! Go put in the stupid disk and you'll see! They had her play "shifty" on purpose because she doesn't act that way other times, even when trying to hide the stealing.
 
I think you're missing the separation between MICHELLE TRACHTENBURG and DAWN. DAWN wasn't trying to look evil, because DAWN wasn't evil. MICHELLE TRACHTENBURG was acting just evil enough to FAKE US OUT to make us THINK Dawn was evil!

EXACTLY. It dosnt mean she(dawn) was supposed to be actually acting evil on purpose.
Dawn wasnt thinking ''oh, i'll put on an evil face''.
She(Michelle) just pulled a certain face to make us think *is she evil* What ive been saying all along.
 
Okay, so now that we seem to have arrived at the SAME PLACE from two DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS . . . Why didn't Dawn's strange behavior get further comment later? Why didn't she follow up on her (presumed) attempt to make Buffy look bad to Joyce by getting her own way at something over Buffy later? Or something like that? They just tossed this weird scene at us and NEVER explain what's going on!

Why would it get further comment later? It wasnt a big deal.
And also, in s5, dawn tried a good few times to make herself look better than Buffy.
 
^ I can think of exactly one instance: when Dawn steals Buffy's breakfast-making thing and acts like she did it. Other than that, she spends most of the rest of the time moping.
 
Plus another time when Joyce hugs Dawn and Dawn looks at Buffy with a sneaky look all over her face(while being hugged)
 
Im def gonna find that. Its between Family and Crush. Plus, even when i find it, its still proves nothing exept a Teenager tring to steal attention.
