Wesley was great. Top to bottom. Great.

As soon as I saw Fred at the meeting I turned to Kuz and said, "What is she doing there?" I'm glad I caught that before the trouble started. However, Fred was never in a position to be hit by anything, so how was she injured?

Spike = completely wasted this week
Lorne = completely wasted this week
Gunn = 3 lines?
Fred = so what?
Eve = For God's sake would somebody please kill her
Wesley's dad = Rockin' performance! Roy Dotrice has always been a favorite. he did not disappoint.

I actually liked the 20 minutes I saw on Wednesday more when I hadn't seen the rest of the show. the peak of the show was Wesley's shooting of his apparent father and the following reactions before and after he realized that it wasn't.

The ending phone call could have ended when he picked up the phone, after he dialed, after he said, "Hello, mother?" or when they did, taking the hardest route for the audience. I applaud that decision.

All that being said the show felt somewhat uneven to me. Several characters got their "cup of sugar" lines in and left or delivered such out of character phrases that I winced. I liked the story (you can't go wrong with ninjas -- even cybernetic ones) and I understand that you can't have all the characters get "meat" every week. I think that just points up that there are too many recurring characters on the show.

Overall: The Wesly parts were great the rest Drew just doesn't have an ear for the characters.

I liked last weeks show better. Give me masked wrestlers any time.
