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.

Also

Andrew: She wrapped evil around her like a large evil Mexican serape.

Thanks for all the fish.

Oh, god, he was so distressed and needed Xander to rescue him!

That was a delight! I feel I've seen just that co-dependent geekert relationship in a million fics/drabbles in the past few weeks ... so pleased to have it onscreen too.

That struck me too. And until we saw he had super-powers, I was thinking "another ordinary human misogonyst."
