Okay (0.00 / 0)

I never read the original script.  Always sort of meant to, knowing how bummed Joss was at how the movie turned out. I follow you now, but don't know if I'd agree, in light of what I said about Joss's thing for doubling--which, as you note, gets amplified with Harmony as well.

Considering Harmony's a vampire from graduation day on, the fact that she evolves at all is pretty remarkable.  Spike's the only other souless vampire who evolves, and he's driven to it quite against his will.

One thing that sort of threw me off a bit is that one thing pushing Buffy to evolve is not so much her calling, but her desire to escape it, to be a good daughter, hence, please her mother, which is what first leads her to seek out Willow, thus setting everything else in motion.  And, of course, there's a whole different doubling going on with Buffy and Willow, as Willow actually develops more, covering a broader arc than either Buffy or Cordelia do.  (Course, it doesn't hurt that AH is much the best actor of the three.)
