My biggest problem was the placement too. And I can't forgive it for that. The B-plot knew where it was -- it couldn't have pulled A aside and set it on track?
Of course, the inconsistency in backstory bugged me too. I didn't mind so much about Angel and Spike's misread of Buffy (I disagree he was only into dark!Buffy -- he wanted her before that -- dark!Buffy's just the only one he thought he could have/deserve). It was Angel and Spike themselves who came across as unthreatening pillocks. Couldn't quite see them as a consistent threat back in the day.
There were nuggets in the A story (ciao, etc), but damn. What a waste of a couple good lines.
Premise of The Inside, is what I want to know.
I know Kristen (and I) are crawling out of our skin we want to talk about it so bad. Unsure that we can, yet. Where IS that Minear-shaped cutieboywriter? All the answers are locked away in his noggin.
Shouldn't they be promoting that show?
Or do they wait 'til the week before it airs?

Well, it's scheduled for March. I don't see them promoting their
January
shows yet.
If it's scheduled for March, they'll probably wait until after the January premieres.

Also, they probably had to retool whatever marketing campaign they might have had planned due to the drastic change in the show's premise and tone. I think they're working on a new plan now.

Well, I would hate for you to be that uncomfortable...
Although I suppose Tim might pop by and notice.

Ponders writing something about waiting for Tim to bring us The Inside scoop. Thinks better of it.

It'll get Whedonesqued anyway. Sigh. Maybe if he typed it in Pig Latin.
