I always enjoy reading your thoughts. I was watching Potential last night and it seems to me it fits in with what you've mentioned. It was about empowering women. Buffy explains what their power is, but in the end she locks the potentials in with a vampire so they can find it for themselves/in themselves. On one level it horrified me, because the possibility that at least one of the girls might not have been able to tap into that strength/power. On the other it was liberating to watch, and encouraging to see Buffy trust in that power enough to take the risk.
The example of Dawn and Amanda was wonderful. I loved Dawn even more as she told Amanda the power was in her and she could do what needed doing. Not so much giving Amanda power as helping her uncover it. I thought that was a lovely moment.
