we were big fucking nerds
You never ever overcome that. Tonight, my buddy and I get into an elevator and there's an attractive young woman in there, so we're smiling and making elevator chit-chat when we realize the door isn't closing. So, I reach for the button and of course, the door closes.
My buddy says "the Force is strong in this one." Inside, I'm screaming Nooooooo, but outside I'm going into this whole Ben Kenobi riff with him, that goes back and forth like a tennis match until my floor.
Buddy gets out of the elevator and I turn to the woman, shrug and say "sorry." She gives me this sad little smile and I get out.
Sigh.

You know, MB was not bad in "I Capture the Castle".
As an actor, he wasn't bad in Buffy. the character just went nowhere after the Initiative plot.
I think as an actor he was often wooden in Buffy.
Especially in that sex-haunted dorm room.:) What? I bet I wasn't the only one thinking it.

I dunno. I think a lot of that was the character - rigidity goes with the pent-up overcontrolled supersoldier Riley was meant to be. That said, I watched S5 for the first time since it aired last week, and he's certainly the weakest thing in it.
I've seen compelling rigidity -- there have been a number of military madness characters I've liked.
Unless they meant him to be boring and then selfish and petulant -- in which case I think he did a bang up job.

I think that they did. By the end, I kept saying -- be quiet and look pretty. that's all.
