Dirty Girls

Housemate wishes to inform the Internet that Robin Wood is really really hot. She even made me make an icon of him (extremely bare-bones, but snaggable):


Housemate says Caleb sounds like someone who grew up with the Book of Common Prayer, forgot most of it as an adult, and now pulls out passages at random and mashes them together. Also, she hates him quite a lot.

Thoughts from me:
- Faith!!!! Outsider perspective, which the show desperately needs at this point, and all that awkward grown-up Faith&Buffy tension. Yanno, I might not like Faith quite this much if she didn't have such a habit of brightening up otherwise lame seasons (S4, S7, Ats S1). But she does, so...

- "I'm nothing like Angel... Angel's dull as a table lamp. And we have very different coloring." Hee!

- Warren is real actual misogyny, and Caleb is, like, mythic misogyny. I find Warren much, much more effective.

- Despite Faith, I kinda really hate this episode a lot, mostly due to Caleb.

- I have no icon appropriate to this post. Rats.

Well put.

Housemate is absolutely correct about the hotness of Principal Wood, and also that he was hotter before the vendetta.

Both Warren & Caleb are on my "top villains" list, but, yeah, Warren is really scary.

Faith: so, so awesome. I kind of hate that her fragile truce with Buffy is so messed up in the comics (from the stupid plot device of not talking/listening).

Seconding the housemate (or is this thirding?) Principal Wood is a very decorative man.....and he's a lot nicer if you watch 'the vendetta' with the commentary on :-)

My only affection for Caleb is that I adore Mal. I part believe that is Joss' motivation as well.

Haha, it's weird. I don't really like Faith that much in S3, where she actually has an arc, but when she randomly shows up for a couple episodes, I love it.

Agreed.

She's just this breath of fresh air, with attitude to spare. She shakes things up.

I so want more of that fragile truce you talk about. I gather that that's a fair amount of shippy Buffy/Faith post-series fic that explores it, but I'm really interested in them from a gen perspective, and the pickings there are darn thin.
