1. Cold suXX0r. Yes it does. 2. Hot cider r0xx0r. It sure does. With a cinnamon stick and everything. 3. I thought Lorne was being sarcastic about the sexual tension. Yup, he sure was. That Lorne, boy is he sarcastic. 4. *hugs piedmargaret* Boy, what a nice hug. 5. Made my journal pretty. Yup, sure is pretty. ::pauses for a moment to ponder the pretty:: But white shirts are a little risky. What if Xander spills hot cider on his shirt? He'd have to take it off right away to make sure it didn't stain. That would be terrible. Spike would be very upset.

Well, perhaps I just want to believe he was being sarcastic. But I thought he was seeing "Plz die now, kthx" from them at each other, since I was. Or maybe that was from me. At Eve.

I'm sure Xander could find a way to take his mind off the trauma.
For me it's the dress shirts partially undone that does it. Untucked, or sleeves rolled up, or in suspenders/braces because they've thrown their jackets somewhere...
I may have to watch it again, but I really thought that *was* Lorne's sarcastic voice. Modified by anxious and rushed, but I thought he was being flippant. Not *acidly* sarcastic, but like "Um, could you two *try* to pretend to like each other please, laugh laugh joke joke don't let on there's interoffice tension of the negative sort..."
Having checked the shooting script it's a tough call but it looks like they were supposed to be aiming for Lorne's quick, flippant, jokey "for fuck's sake get along for the sake of the party" voice and missed it by a country mile.
Yeah, my other option for interpretation was "Lorne is so rushed and distracted that he's seeing what's very obviously a minor pissing war as the two of them coming on to each other" but that didn't feel at all right.
I think you're right on about the script being fine (bar Eve being out of place no matter *what* you do with her) but the direction being way off.
I'm so tempted to (after I win the lottery, lalala) stand up in one of our board meetings where my boss is glaring daggers at her co-head of the agency and biggest rival, and make an announcement like that...

Boy, what a nice hug.

I want Lorne to have been sarcastic, but Andy didn't deliver the line sarcastically. Makes it hard for me to accept the theory.
Damn...
