I'm somewhat outside the bounds of the show because I'm reading it, in a sense, as a political work instead of a literary one. But, at least with S7, there's this overlap because Joss was IMHO trying to make a political statement. But from a literary perspective instead of political, so I think it doesn't translate to a viewer like me very well. It's like - I think I know the point "Chosen" was supposed to make - and it made that point for lots of people - but it didn't quite work for me.
