Nate on Buffy tonight by Visionary

For Boston area fans, WSBK is pre-empting Buffy for a baseball game. According to their website, they're airing Buffy at 11 pm. Trust the time or not....

At least you guys get to see it tonight. Where I live I have to wait five weeks before it airs. Buffy is in syndication here. That's if my nazi cable provider doesn't yank the WB off our selections. They took UPN off without even telling their customers. Just, poof! gone.

I'm taping this for my roommate. Wow, the "cap'n" certainly is kicking some major good guy butt in this episode. Am I supposed to have naughty thoughts with him wearing that priest outfit?

Ooo, I saw it. I didn't even know he'd be on tonight. I heard his voice and it was kinda dark and I'm thinking 'that sounds like Nathan. Oh wait, he's suppose to be ON this show soon. It probably IS Nathan' and then when I saw him I just yelled into the next room "Yes! Jaeger! Get in here! Nathan's playing an evil preacher of death! It's great!" He was a bit unconvincing of being all way too strong. He's kinda a smaller type guy, but poor Xander. And how 'bout that accent!

He was scary. The accent was what I found really creepifying. Xander has to get a gun (you really only need one eye to aim) and, with Spike to help him get in there, go back and waste the lot of them. Why is it that no one on BTVS ever uses a good, old-fashioned firearm? ONE TIME a bad guy used one, so there is a precedent, they do physically exist in Joss' Sunnydale.

Anyway, Buffy is not our focus here. I take hope in the fact that Nathan has kept Mal's haircut. I'm taking that to mean he knows something we don't, like why he and Gina Torres are keeping up their connection to Mutant Enemy. There have been enough rumors about which networks hired whom after Firefly was cancelled that I am convinced they at least had other offers, yet they are taking parts with Mutant Enemy. Nathan on a show where he gets to do only 5 or 6 episodes. (Angel does not show on any of the channels I get, so I have not seen Gina's performance.)

Is there significance in the haircut, or do I delude myself?

Creepifying is right! I'm going to have a hard time getting rid of the sick feeling in my stomach after watching "Mal" as Caleb.

No kidding! When he showed up, I was thinking, "Yay! Nathan!" and then

Select to view spoiler:

he burned that girl with his ring!

CREEEEEEEPY!

How can I have the hots for such a creep? Joss is seriously messing with my head.

It was one of the best episodes of the season. It was also one of the most violent. I was surprised to see two potentials get killed in one episode; Buffy, Spike and Faith get they butts kicked by one man;and Xander loses his sight in one eye. It's going to be strange seeing Xander walking around with a eye patch, how is he suppose to be making jokes for now on when he's going to look like a pirate? Poor Xander!!!

Here's what wigged me about the whole thing: Caleb's a human. The Big Bad in Buffy has never really been just a human before (The Master, Angelus, The Mayor, Adam, Glory, and Magical Evil Willow). For me, at least, the notion that someone chose evil like this, not because of their vampiric nature or the trauma of losing a loved one, but just because they're bad, is far more distressing.

I guess we'll learn where he gets that strength.."What else ya got?" was a fairly chilling line.

So, I liked and admired Mal. Caleb scares me. And Nathan impresses me.

Yep, Nathan's performance was impressive, especially as we all know him as the good guy.

He was totally scary. But can somebody help me out with the accent? (Me = non-native speaker). I could hear he was talking different, like a guy from a little province town or something, but could somebody give me some more background? Where is that accent supposedly from? And what does it say about Caleb?

PS: I am totally shocked about Xander's Eye. The potentials, well, they are not long enough here (and they are too many, anyway) to get emotional attached, but to do that to Xander???

I took it to be a southern accent, perhaps southern baptist. Caleb believes he is righteous. Reminds me of the snake handlers from the appalachians. Truly scary, Nathan is just good.

Caleb said he was from Knoxville, which is a city in Tennessee. It's near where I'm from originally. Most preachers on TV are from somewhere down there, because Southerners have a reputation for being very openly religious. Southern Baptists are probably the most fanatical mainstream religion in the US. Though they don't generally dress like Catholics in my experience, so I don't know what's up with that.

Thanks a lot for the background! I'm always glad when I can learn something.

So, does anyone know why Nate is a special guest star while Gina is just a regular guest star over on AtS?

Wow, Nathan was cool. It was annoying to know he was evil before he got to be evil though :(

Damn scary...and he actually hurt a scoobie! They can't do that! Damn Joss!
