It fell flat as in the old joke category. Really a teeeneee tiny nit pik because I am filled with love for the episode. I am looking forward to seeing it with captions to catch all the clever lines. Glitter. Snerk.
You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did.

Thanks for all the fish.
Oh, lordy, Spike was hot in the basement... Jebus, he was smoking. Literally as well as figuratively.

I was really looking forward to seeing Faith and Spike meet at last. I was completely satisfied. Snark and Steam. Yeah baby!

HIP HIP CHAREST!!!!
Loved Buffy but I haven't watched Angel yet. That was a New Drew episode right? Very snappy with the jokes and the Vulcan fight was inspired.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Eeeeeeee!
I thought I was messed up when he frucked up the potential's arm. Poor Xander! After a GOOD speech, to boot.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
Never read The Preacher. Instead, I was reminded of Robert Mitchum in Night of the Hunter.
That might be because I just rewatched that film a couple of months ago.

Preacher isn't crazy, though, and this Caleb is bugfuck mad.

Robert Michum was pretty crazy.

He also reminds me of every Flannery O'Connor short story I've ever read.

Socks are a running theme throughout the series. They are used as symbols of freedom, redemption and love.
Hey, and thanks for the sympathy. I went to see my doctor this morning and she's advised me to stay home until next Tuesday. My blood tests and everything came out fine, so I've just got a low-grade viral infection. It still sucks, though.
I yelled at the TV when Xander's eye got popped. I was completely shocked. Wow. Also I find Caleb really really disturbing. Urgh. Interesting that they're going for an explicitly misogynist baddie for the second year in a row.
Faith was great, and the Vulcan fight was hilarious. I also really liked the scene where Andrew got Xander to explain that "That wasn't Godzilla." Hee.
