Except for the actress who played Dana, who I thought was terrible. She just seemed another in a long line of girls cast as "Slayers" who don't have any acting chops in their body, and substitute a tic (in this case, darting eyes) for actual emotion.

I wasn't insulted at all by the episode. I thought it was very well-written, and I thought it was perfectly believable that they'd send Andrew (maybe he was pestering Giles again, and after all, if Angel HAD gone bad, well, Andrew seems more expendable), and I assumed that the Slayers all showed up much later than Andrew, as he might have, you know, contacted Buffy or Giles over the course of the episode.

But I didn't see that implied on the screen. What was implied on the screen to me was that Andrew was acting with Giles's full authority. Otherwise, why would Angel, et al. put up with him? He brought them no new information, no special skills, and was rude and insulting, to boot. He also seemed content to let Angel and Spike risk life and limb (literally) to capture Dana and then threaten them into giving her up, something Buffy and crew criticized the Watcher's Council for doing in the past.

I'm not saying the entire show was bad. In fact, Andrew aside, it was very good. I just don't like what his appearance and behavior imply about where the new Slayer organization is going.
