He was every bit of that. The ep called “Passion” br-r-r-r-r.
That was a GREAT episode, the scene where Giles enters the apartment and there is the music and the rose and he goes up the stairs and lying on the bed is Jenny’s dead body, WOW. I think that alot of the shows in Seasons Two, Three and Five were some of the best writing I’ve ever seen on television.
Did you happen to catch season 4 of Angel when they turned him bad for a bit? Even locked up in cage he was still horrible. I was sad when Lilah died though. I think she really did love Wesley.
