Does anyone know if there was a reason for NB not being available for the episode? Because I think that a confrontation with FE!Jesse would have been wonderful.

Elena, I'm inclined to think that they decided they only had time for five storylines, and poor Xander got the shaft. (Again.)

Well, that just sucks. Because it would have been great.

Yeah, Nick said at a con I was at that he got the script and read it and that's when he found out he wasn't in the episode.

Thanks for all the fish.
That seems pretty harsh.
(edit) Especially when he might have been better served in CwCP than in, say, First Date... Or, really, almost every season 7 ep.

Plus Jesse is maybe the biggest loose plot thread ever. And one mention after the first episode would have fixed that.
I always put a lot of Xander's fanatical vampire hatred down to Jesse.

Absolutely in agreement with you there, helentm.
Though (as I read the script long before I saw the episode) I always thought that Xander had staked Jesse on his own, rather than almost accidently. It would have made his 'Angel must die' stance a little stronger, and made his relationship with Spike all the odder.

That line - 'I don't like vampires. I'm going to take a stand and say they're not good.'

Thanks for all the fish.
Yep. It's a pretty good summation of his mission.

Plus it makes me sad. That and the bit where Willow and Cordy find the bodies in prophecy girl, get the closest for me to making me feel what it'd really be like to have my school friends die.
Also I just love that 'it's okay. Buffy's a superhero' moment. I always want Jesse to be still human then, so I can see what he thinks.
