No one love Xander more than me. (Edit- I mean that no one loves Xander more than me, but I like the dictatorial flare of he first statement.) I wanted him to be the one to take the Captain down.

(this is what Brian spoiled me on, NF being on the show. How hard would I have squeed had I been surprised?)

Though I keep wondering what other Firefly cast members will be showing up...

I was spoiled for that from the Lite thread. I had no clue he was going to be a badass though. He did Evil quite nicely.

Yeah, baby, he's evil.

But I was not expecting him to be superpowered.

I almost mentioned something about NF appearing the other night when we were out for drinks. I've also known about it for so long that it seemed that everyone would know by now. It's been very hard to stifle.

I don't entirely understand the emnity between Giles and Buffy. She can forgive Wood, but not Giles? It seems a little forced.

Giles betrayed her - why would she give a fuck what Wood does?

Well, she doesn't know Wood very well. She has no reason to expect his primary loyalty to be to her. Giles, on the other hand, is supposed to side with her rather than some near stranger.

Poor Xander. Ow.

I agree, she is far more invested in Giles trust than her relationship with Wood. I hope they come to terms because I am all schmoopy like that, but I agree with her for remaining cold.

Well Wood was in on the plan. Giles has betrayed her before though. She's lied to Giles. They've all tried to kill each other. Why is this one different?

How many times has Giles betrayed her? 'Cause the only one that's springing to my mind is the Happy Birthday Hypnotism, and she was plenty pissed about that one.
