Does anyone else think...

...that Caleb in season 7 Buffy is much less annoying if you can imagine that it's really Mal, pulling an elaborate job that requires him to talk like a misogynistic git?

I have no idea what you're talking about. Clearly I need to see more season 7 Buffy!

The annoying southern preacher dude who arrives at the end went on to play Mal in Firefly, where he did a lot of misbehaving on the side of good

I think I must just not have seen those episodes - my Buffy-knowledge is lamentably patchy! So do I conclude that you have season 7, then?!

Mwah hah ha! I have them all! Recently found them on sale for £10 a season, so decided to complete my collection! Can I interest you then...?

ooh, i'll have to perform that experiment!
i saw Season 7 before i saw Firefly, so Caleb really creeped me out, and it was a bit jarring to see Captain Mal at first (although thankfully they're such different characters that it only bothered me for a very short while).

See I found him really irritating the first time (I think it's the accent). I only recently saw firefly, by which time I had pretty much forgotten creepy Caleb. Now on re-watching, I see Mal!

[shehasathree]

it *is* an irritating accent!

But more fun if you imagine Mal's putting it on to sneak past the gorram rutting alliance!
