I didn't really like him until the "but she doesn't love me" scene with Xander. Really incredible moment. And, you know that I love me a midwestern farm boy.
That moment broke me-- but I always did like Riley. I felt bad for both the character and Blucas because being Buffy's next boyfriend after Angel? Talk about a thankless gig.
I was never much of a B/A 'shipper but I think that's because I didn't really have anything invested in the dynamic. I came to Buffy after Angel started. (I started with Angel because I'd been a huge fan of Glenn Quinn-- such a tragedy when he died.)
And because I love me my geeky boys, I had to say, if they were going to replace Glenn's character with anyone, I was thrilled they brought Wesley on. (That was my 'ship-- Wes/Cordy.)
Buffy Set Miniature - the creator of this is the brother of a friend's co-worker.
My that's convoluted.
I read that article and got confused for a second because the guy's name is Esterhammer-Fic, and I thought "what kind of fic is that?"

The soundtrack is now on iTunes.
Also, they've released liner notes and lyrics. Unsurprisingly, most of what I loved
was
all Joss.
His brother ain't no idiot, neither.
That "ambush" video is awesome. Now I'm super-curious about the Wil Wheton one mentioned in the comments.
In related news, Felica Day apparently has a wicked sense of humor. Penny Arcade posted this comic in July: [link]
And then Tycho (the comic writer) had this to say in his PAX (Penny Arcade Expo) post-mortem newspost.
I also saw Felicia Day at the show, who gave me a brush and told me to groom her. This is a thing that really happened, and it was bizarre, but not so bizarre that I wouldn't do it. It was like brushing a unicorn.
