Don't you just want to date Shawn's BF?
No, but I do want to lock him up and do experiments on him study his reactions to the eps from an outsider perspective.

I was among those who assumed from the start that "Joyce" in CWDP was actually the First Evil. It seems to me that at first the carnage ("Mother's milk is red tonitght," etc.) was revealed as illusion until Dawn (like Willow, later) started messing with magic and opened the door for it to seize control of her spell. Also note that despite Dawn invoking everyone who loved her, her actual attitude during that spell was tinged by anger and hate ("Die, bastard!"), emotional states more in line with the First than the nebulous forces of Good.
It would have been fitting to have the FE appear as Buffy to, say, the Scoobies, the Potentials, Andrew, Dawn, Wood, the paperboy - anyone aside from just Caleb and Spike. Because it would have completely fucked with them, which is what the FE seemed to be trying to accomplish. Honestly, get a truly truth-twisting and evil Buffy saying things to Willow or Dawn? I think we would have seen some nice torture there.
Sheesh, when I think about Season Seven, I just want to rewrite it, top-to-bottom.

It's like how a child gets you to appreciate the simple things. All those lines I've heard a thousand times he's hearing for the first time and laughing his ass off-- so far, "what he lacks in smarts he makes up in lack of smarts" is like his favorite.
Whose line is that, Shawn?
Xander says it about the boy who is first killed by Ampata-- the one with the braces.
It's a beautiful line, one that needs to be quoted far more.
Your BF's taste ain't bad.

Wow. Until you said something just now Elena, it never occured to me how very upsetting it was that the First never appeared as Buffy to people who were not Caleb or Spike.
It now makes no sense at all.
Appearing to the Scoobies as Buffy would have done MUCH MORE DAMAGE!!!
I'm am now convinced the the first was the stupidest and lamest Buffy villan ever. And also completely wasted.
S7 was totally stoopid. Now I'm all annoyed.
