it?


Yeah, I've known that the name was Robin Wood for a long time. Don't
really know how that plays with his Inigo Montoya ("You killed my
[mother], prepare to die!") character arc, though.

Much as I'd love to believe that the mirror was Wood catching a clue
about Spike, I can't go there. First, his reaction was nothing like
"where is he? OMG, this guy's a vamp!". It was all, "who is this guy
busting into my date and where does Buffy know him from?" Plus, there's
Wood's shocked "he's a vampire!' line when he sees Spike vamp out later.
And if you tell me that Robin Wood, son of a Slayer, raised by her
Watcher, who has dedicated himself to slaughtering vampires to avenge
his mother would notice Spike's non-reflection but not realize that
meant "vampire" until he saw the fangs, well, sorry, but I just can't
buy that.

Although I suppose I could buy that the current ME writing staff would
try to sell me on it :rolleyes:

waiting to see what the shooting script says.
