I think faith had me at the first "wicked cool," though I did somewhat resent her within the story context for driving a wedge between Buffy and Willow. Extremely promising character from the get-go, however.

Yes, and when she told the Mayor he was "wicked gross" she owned me forever (I think in part, this is because it was obvious that not only Faith was a home girl (for me), but that Eliza is, too). I resented the wedge between Buffy & Willow too, except--damn--that's fine writing, acting, and direction that makes a person resent a fictional character in that way.

Red hair and black leather--my favorite color scheme.

Nice review. I agree with everything he says.

Although he did seem a tad sensitve to certain things:

When the Scoobs argue and Xander is the one who sees things clearly, it's a nice moment for Xander because it rarely happens and he quickly hands the Brains of the Outfit hat back to Giles, Willow, and Buffy. But mishandling either of these elements will make it look … girls need guys to solve their problems (see the resolution of season six).

Noxon's "Beauty and the Beasts… ends with Angel saving Buffy rather than Buffy saving herself.

I disagree that showing Xander saving the day or Angel saving Buffy damages the show's feminist credibility too badly.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

My memory may be dim, but I don't recall Angel so much "saving" Buffy in "Beauty and the Beasts" as ruthlessly killing the guy she was fighting before Buffy herself could put him down in a non-lethal manner. Actually, "Angel" and "Earshot" are about the only instances I can recall where Angel clearly saved Buffy rather than just helping out.

Fab Filippo [Scott Hope] is on the cover of this week's Now, one of Toronto's alternative weeklies. He's from Toronto originally and performing in "This is our youth" here until October 18th. The article title says "Hot actor returns to the stage after wooing Buffy and wowing Sophia". (Loren)
