Ficht nicht mit Der Raketemensch!

As an actor, he wasn't bad in Buffy. the character just went nowhere after the Initiative plot.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

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.

So we were supposed to think that Buffy was wrong the whole time? Even I don't feel that Into The Woods was a testament to their 4EVA nature (it's like mu nature, except not), but I found Riley consistently generically unattractive once he stopped being goofy grad student, and pretty unsuitable.
