Anyone know/remember how she went over at the Bronze?
What was the airdate? I can't remember, but could look it up.
You like ships. You don't seem to be looking at the destinations. What you care about is the ships, and mine's the nicest.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Speaking of S5, I'm about to preorder, anyone want me to share the love?

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Oooh, sharing the love would be splendid. cass (underscore) 404 (at) yahoo (dot) com

Gotcha Cass.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I got the general feeling that Faith was considered to be too self-consciously tough in S3, and the real Faith love didn't start to bloom until her return in S4. Then it had a nice retroactive glow which went back over the earlier episodes. Of course, that's a pretty subjective take on a general board-wide vibe.

Personally, I did the dance of Faith love from the minute she came on the screen. As much as I love the Scoobs, for once I saw someone who I could relate to and acted more like I did when I was in highschool.
While I wasn't a big cleavage-y slut bomb, I did, you know, smoke and cuss, make fun of cheerleaders and listen to music too loud, etc. (And then I staked that one guy by accident and went evil, but that's a whole other story...)

I think "new character's" experience, or rather, the experience an audience has when a new character is added to the show, is sort of like how a new school sees a "new kid", which Joss gave us a nice view of, in WTTH.

I can't even.
I remember the Bronze having major Faith-lust immediately. It was the first time the Bring Your Own Subtext crowd emerged, that I noticed. Cosmic Bob danced with Eliza at the PBP that year and his sig file became legend.
These are just my rose-coloured memories -- there was a sizable "is Faith Evil?" faction even before she was, y'know, evil, but I remember a generally positive reaction. However, if Allyson is skimming the vaults, she may have a different take to report.

Always Anti-fascist!
As a late adopter, I pretty much always liked her.

Faith and I arrived in Sunnydale, pretty much at the same time, so she wasn't subjected to my usual aversion to cast changes and additions.
(Fred got double, on Angel. Plei ropes me in, once in a while. At least the twitching is gone, now.)
