Buffy 14 April 03

I thought he was going to be something different as well, but I was quite pleased to see just how powerful he was. I guess I'm just happy to see something send a high-level party squealing.

But it's usually the same formula. Buffy fights a big bad, gets slapped around a bit, a couple eps later she destroys it. I thought Caleb would be something more than simply "something stronger".
I suppose maybe they'll justify his Super Powers later, but right now it just feels lacking.

But, I also wanted someone darker, not just a mildly crazy type.

I loved Faith/ Spike interaction, though Spike is STILL acting a little flat. If there had been a little more emotion in the "I'm not Angel!" stuff, it'd have been great.

Geez. Buffy & Co. are seriously outmatched. I cringed when Xander.... eech... my eye hurts.

Does anyone else think Andrew is a sad discovery, someone this good THIS late in the game? I mean, I want Andrew making me giggle from season 4 onward... sigh... the time we have, eet ees so breef.

I completely agree. He brings a geekiness to the gang that none can match. I too am disappointed that he joined the show so late in the game.

Hell... I just watched the episode... I've been really tense for the last month or so over some real life issues, and a sinus infection gives me a headache that manifests around the temple/eye area... Gyeh... I just tossed down a librium to calm down. That was *not* something I ever expected to have happen to one of the main "white shirts"...

Hmm... I'm not sure what Caleb's deal is, but I think Wes and the pistols he has so much fun with would have been really useful. Didn't anyone think that guns probably work just fine against not-quite-humans like Bringers?

I'm relatively new to the show, so this is the first time I've seen Faith. I don't typically go for chicks like her, but man, her flirtation with Spike had me drooling.

I am a Caleb fan, actually more like a Nathan Fillion fan. I've liked everything he has been in so far. His "deranged preacher" is dead-on: creepy, determined and DEranged. Not to mention fun. He's everything I hate about the bad parts of organized religion and men in general. Biased and perverted with style equals a worthy opponent for Buffy's final Big Bad. Joss is going out with all guns-a-blazing like he should. This is gonna be fun.

Caleb is definitely a very creepy & twisted baddie. I wonder how his "dislike" of woman lead him to The First?

but I wish they'd show Buffy as a smarter tactician.

As for Buffy, I think she really underestimated Caleb as just another of The First's flunkies and that she and the whole group would be able to take care of him and some Bringers. As he's talking to her, she looked absolutely terrified and intimidated, like "Uh Oh, we're in over our heads... what have I gotten us into... ?". And after everything, Caleb never reveals what of Buffy's he has. I don't think he just said that to get her to come to him... I think he really has "something" of hers, but I don't think it's one of her possesions.

Even Two Guys, a Girl, and a Pizza Place?

Certainly! That show was hilarious.
