I have to say I really miss Synder's venom. It was great seeing him again
briefly in Restless. I recall reading a fic one time where a demon is
amplifying everyone's bigotries and hatreds and the only person who is
unaffected by him is Snyder. In the end, I think Synder kills the demon
and, as he walks away from the body, calls it an amateur. And it is truly
telling how such a despicable character can have more emotional pull on me
than Riley Finn. The problem with Riley is that he was boring and there was
absolutely no chemistry between him and Buffy.
