"The I in Team" [4x13] Review by Mikelangelo "MikeJer" Marinaro Posted by MikeJer on March 18, 2006 Writer: David FuryDirector: James A. Contner Quick Links Spoiler Warning! This is a retrospective review and may contain spoilers from anywhere in the series. Read at your own peril. Review It's been too long since the Initiative arc has been directly touched upon (6 episodes) and, while solid, this episode does not make up for the wait. Many of my major problems with this season begin to show themselves here, and even more so in "Goodbye Iowa" (4x14). "The I in Team" is a turning point in the season, like "Innocence" (2x14) was for S2. The difference here is that this episode does not "change everything" in a good or exciting way. Professor Walsh gets killed off, which I feel was a dire mistake. Additionally, the entire idea of Commando Buffy just doesn't work and looks ridiculous. Not only does the military not mesh with anything that is Buffy, but the fact a secret military group would show her their operation and send her out on missions that quickly is ridiculous. The Initiative rubs off as unprofessional and sloppy. Putting aside the flaws for the time being, this episode is still pretty good. The characters continue to logically develop, which in this season involves separation from one another. An early conversation, while playing Poker, between Willow and Xander is telling. Willow says, "Guess she's out with Riley. You know how it is with a spanking new boyfriend." This statement says a lot. Willow is a little annoyed that Buffy's spending more time with Riley than with her. We see this annoyance return later at the Bronze when Buffy shows up an hour late, and with a bunch of Initiative guys. Now this is interesting, because Willow's been hiding her growing relationship with Tara from Buffy. It is unfair of Willow to expect Buffy to be hanging out with her when she, herself, is busy with another person. Willow's double standard is blatant when both Buffy and her walk into their dorm the following morning. Buffy wasn't the only one out with someone all night, and at least Buffy's not concealing what she's doing. I can remember not too long ago, in "The Harsh Light of Day" (4x03), when Willow was running up to Buffy with friendly curiousity about whether or not she had sex the previous night. The two of them have lost touch of their friendship because of new people in their lives. Still during the Poker game Xander eventually poses a question I think the whole group, non-Buffy, is thinking: "am I the only one with a big floating question mark over his head about this Initiative thing? There's still heaps we don't know about these commandos. What exactly are they up to?" The truth of the matter is something that sounds more like it belongs in a Star Trek episode. The plot arc of the season has been said to be magic versus science. While that's an interesting comparison, S4 falls flat on delivering much of anything in the way of interesting thought on the matter. I think the writers should have left Professor Walsh alive until the end of the arc (or at least close to the end). She should have been the "big bad" with possibly Adam as the leader of her growing army of demonoids. I was very pleased to see that the Initiative was working on something insidius, but unfortunately all that opportunity is squandered the moment Walsh (and her co-scientist guy in "Goodbye Iowa" [4x14]) dies. The season then just turns into Buffy versus Adam, which honestly isn't all that interesting. Buffy versus Walsh, with Adam as a tough obsticle in her way would have been much more powerful. Buffy had an entire semester of Psychology with her -- imagine the awesome topics that could have been debated! Instead Adam just wanders around all day asking questions about his existence, and that gets boring quickly. It doesn't help that the Initiative completely falls apart as well, getting even more sloppy and ridiculous. This is the moment where the plot arc of S4 starts to fall apart. Anyway, in this episode Buffy essentially 'joins' the Initiative after a worried Professor Walsh sees her demolish the commando team. Right before Buffy sees the Initiative base, Riley tells her "You don't have to do this ... I mean, if you'd rather wait." This is a very clever bit of wording, because we think Riley's talking about sex, when really he's talking about entering the Initiative. Sex and the Initiative do have a lot in common here. Riley's words are similar to Parker's words to Buffy right before sex in "The Harsh Light of Day" (4x03). Parker says, "Is this okay? It's your choice." Both men are giving Buffy a choice, and both times Buffy decides to move forward even at great risk and uncertainty. Parker betrays her expectations and the Initiative turns out to do the very same. This ties both Parker and the Initiative together as manipulative bastards who only have their own disturbing agenda in mind. Later, in a really interesting scene, Buffy and Riley do have sex, so the sexual innuendo to the viewer earlier might not have been a mislead after all. This also makes me sure that the only reason Buffy is working with the Initiative is because of her relationship with Riley. The sex scene itself is very weird and original (as far as I know) -- I like it a lot. It is blended together with the two of them fighting a Polgara demon (which looks incredibly hokey and hurts the scene a bit). The connection for Buffy between fighting and having sex is once again established. After the fight, a flustered Buffy asks Riley what he wants to do now. Notice how Buffy didn't kill the demon -- she only helped capture it. Faith says in "The Zeppo" (3x13) that the demon she is fighting "got me really wound up. A fight like that, and no kill. I'm about ready to pop." It's obvious that here Buffy is too, which goes to show that Faith's "hungry and horny" philosophy of Slaying might be a universal trait of Slayers after all. I'd also like to add that I am pleased the writers didn't make a big deal out of Buffy's sexual encounter here. I think by now we don't need to treat it like a monumental deal each and every time. Although, I was very much amused by Buffy's reaction the following morning. She wakes up, gets really worried, and quickly turns around to see if Riley's actually there still. He's awake and immediately tells her, "Weren't expecting to see me?" Buffy replies, " I never know what to expect." Fun! The rest of this episode is concerned with moving plot pieces forward. The best example of this is when Professor Walsh is very disturbingly watching video of Buffy and Riley having sex. That and the fact Buffy's question to Riley about '314' got him suspicious is enough for Professor Walsh to worry on a new level. Walsh undoubtedly thinks Buffy is using sex as a way to get information out of Riley. As a result of this, she attemps to kill Buffy before things get further out of hand. This development makes a lot of sense, and even sets up a big upcoming conflict between Buffy and Professor Walsh. Unfortunately, as described above, that conflict never happens because of Walsh's death. One final thing I'd like to point out is Giles' attempt at taking advantage of Spike's current chipped situation. He tries to pose the possibility of Spike helping out the group more frequently. Spike's response to this is "piss off!" Also in retaliation he throws out some unkind words about the Scoobies. It's interesting that he doesn't insult either Anya or Buffy, once again showing that he likes Anya and has respect for Buffy as a Slayer even though he very badly wants to kill her. To sum it all up, this is a good episode which gets the Initiative arc moving again. Unfortunately, the direction it's going in isn't nearly as great as it could have been. Minor Pros/Cons (+/-)
Foreshadowing
Quotes WILLOW:Hmm! Wha'cha got in the boxes, drugs? (then sternly) It's not drugs, is it, Xander?XANDER:Not drugs. XANDER:You are looking at the new local distributor for Boost Bars. 'The natural food bar that provides a nutritional energy boost for active, health-conscience people.' Want one? WILLOW:No. Thanks. Those things usually taste kind of tasteless. And then leave a bad after-tastelessness. XANDER:Wish the Buff could've made it. This three-hand poker is not quite the game. WILLOW:Guess she's out with Riley. You know how it is with a spanking new boyfriend. ANYA:Yes, we've enjoyed spanking. BUFFY:Will, I think you better get used to-- a Twinkie!? That's his lunch? Oh, he is so gonna be punished. WILLOW:(pouty) Everyone's getting spanked but me. SPIKE:Hey! Wipe your feet when you enter a person's home. GILES:Oh, yes. Careless of me. Tracking mud all over your, uh, mud. SPIKE:I admit, it's a bit of a fixer-upper. Needs a woman's touch. Care to have a crack at it? SPIKE:(to Giles) Get out. And I don't want you crawling back here knocking on my door pleading for help the second Teen Witch's magic goes all wonky or little Xander cuts a new tooth. We're through. You got it? (callously) Honeymoon is over. WILLOW:This is so cool. Wow. I've been trying to find the dolls-eye crystal my entire life. Well, since June, anyway. ANYA:Xander. You haven't been paying any attention to me tonight. Just peddling those process food breaks. I don't know why. XANDER:Well, let me put it in a way you'll understand. Sell bars. Make money. Take Anya nice places. Buy pretty things. ANYA:(considers) That does make sense. All right, I support you. Go sell more. GILES:Remind me. Why should I help you? SPIKE:(scoff) Because you do that. You're the goody-good guys. You're the bloody freaking cavalry. SPIKE:I'm not going anywhere. Not until those bastards undo whatever they did to me. Put me back the way I was. XANDER:(sarcastic) Sure. Just explain to the nice scientist guys that you really miss killing and torturing innocent people. SPIKE:Do you think that would work?

Comments (31) All Comments | Link2 | gabrielleabelleNov 10, 2007 I definitely agree about the problems with this episode (and the season). Just wanted to add that I find it interesting that Giles gives Spike a speech about him using the chip to do good when later on we see Giles being very vocally against Spike when he actually DOES try to help. Either Giles changed his mind about Spike's ability to change or Spike's dismissal of him in this episode leaves a permanent strike against him. All Comments | Link3 | NixJan 31, 2008 It's interesting that despite his protestations to the contrary later on, Riley refers to Walsh as `mother' in this ep (`That's our cue: Mother wants us.') Yes, it's a metaphor... All Comments | Link4 | NixJan 31, 2008 Note the going-to-town with metaphors in the sex scene's combat segment. We have extensible truncheons, long spiky things in forearms, guns with thin things on the end shooting visible blue-white stuff... Freud could go to town interpreting all this :) All Comments | Link5 | StephJul 13, 2008 I'm not sure that I blame Willow for not telling Buffy about Tara. It seemed like their growing rift was equally both Willow and Buffy's fault. The fact that Buffy doesn't spend as much time/attention on Willow probably made her feel like they weren't as close as they used to be. In turn, Willow hiding Tara from Buffy and not being in the dorm as much, doesn't give Buffy a chance to talk to Willow as much. To me, it just seemed like a vicious cycle that wasn't completely Willow or Buffy's fault as much as it was both of theirs. All Comments | Link6 | StephJul 13, 2008 Sorry for all of that bold... lol. I guess I'm not html compatible. All Comments | Link7 | NixJul 18, 2008 Another piece of overanalysis: how come the Initiative uses the same names for demon species as the Scoobies do? The Scoobies get their names out of books, presumably derived from the demons' own names for themselves: what do the Initiative do? Ask the demons? (Presumably they don't have access to decent books or they'd be using them rather than ignoring minor questions like motive where they don't deny demon sentience entirely.) All Comments | Link8 | JadenJul 20, 2008 well the scene where they have sex may be original but the end with walsh watching them isnt...has anyone seen "second double" season 2 in alias??? All Comments | Link9 | JvampSep 1, 2008 You use the word "hokey" far too much...instead of falling back on it you could go into more detail. Other than that the reviews are decent. All Comments | Link10 | RosieJun 8, 2009 The difference here is that this episode does not "change everything" in a good or exciting way. Professor Walsh gets killed off, which I feel was a dire mistake. What is the point in calling this a mistake, when Whedon had no choice? Lindsay Crouse was leaving the show for another acting committment. All Comments | Link11 | RosieJun 8, 2009 "I definitely agree about the problems with this episode (and the season).

Or perhaps Giles later harbored a resentment against Spike for rejecting his help around this time. I've suspected that for years. All Comments | Link12 | SeleneJul 9, 2009 I've no problem whatsoever with Willow keeping Tara to herself. As she says, pretty much everything in her life ends up being geared towards Buffy. Even her best friend Xander tends to ignore her to follow after Buffy. Plus Buffy herself is a pretty crappy friend, too. Every time Buffy gets a new 'toy" (i.e. Faith, Riley) she goes off and ignore Willow, yet expects Willow to be there for the inevitable crash and burn. Rather selfish, IMO. Why shouldn't Willow try to find something (or someone) of her own? All Comments | Link13 | VictoriaMay 31, 2010 @ 11:57pm Selene, I disagree that Buffy is a bad friend. She's self-centered, yes, but you have to admit that her life is kind of worth all the self-obsessing. Willow has done the same to Buffy when she finds new "toys" (Oz, Tara, Kennedy, MAGIC in general). Their friendship feels about on par with what real-life friendships feel like, especially considering that it's the "Freshman Year and New Friends" scenario... As someone who lived with her best friend from high school for three years in college, I know the weird awkwardness of trying to incorporate the old and the new. It's not all Gilmore-Girls-Smiles-and-Friendship-Bracelets. Considering that Buffy shouldn't even technically have a social life to speak of, she does pretty well at holding things together, you just have to really look for it. For instance, it sucks that she didn't think and brought her new Initiative friends to the Bronze, but at the same time, when Willow casually mentions that if she'd known it was open-invite she'd have felt free to invite more people, Buffy immediately jumps upon the information Willow omits. However, you are correct in noting that one should feel kind of slighted by Buffy and Willow's interaction at this point. I wouldn't say they are in "horrible friend" territory, but certainly there is a separation that didn't exist before. It's "normal" to for now... I mean Willow is going through her own break-up issues, plus she's discovering magic and a newfound aspect of her sexuality while Buffy is trying to make her first REAL functional relationship with a human who is informed of her calling. It requires a lot of attention. Xander could be guilty of the same thing; he's got his job and his VERY demanding ex-demon lover.... but in the context of things to come, it definitely signifies the potential for the falling out that happens later. All Comments | Link14 | AerylJul 9, 2010 @ 12:20pm Buffy always said she went into the Initiative to learn more about them. Why is it stupid for the Initiative to do the same, invite the Slayer in, send her out on a few hunts, to determine what her goals and capabilities are? You know, research, which is what they are supposed to be all about. Better than tazing and drugging her, and far more likely to work. All Comments | Link15 | nathan.taurusSep 3, 2010 @ 9:42pm In an accidental way, Buffy gets back at Willow for the party in 'Dead Man's Party'. In that episode their was supposed to be a quite dinner with just the Scoobies and Will, Oz, Xander and Cordelia invited everyone. So here, Willow is upset about Buffy inviting the cammandos to the Bronze when she thought it was just to be the four friends. In the words of Cordelia: "Oooh, these grapes are sour." The instrumental music as Buffy and Riley fight and have sex adds to the scene then it just goes wierd when Walsh is shown looking at them. And then of course the phone rings as soon as Buffy asks what 314 is. I enjoyed this episode more than the next one. On a side note: 3.14 is 'Bad Girls'. All Comments | Link16 | projectrunawaySep 28, 2010 @ 11:19am Great review, Mike! Although I must admit you put a bit of a damper on my enjoyment of the episode by pointing out its weaknesses. I liked it a lot. So much stuff happens! And it's not just plot-driven; the character arcs of Buffy, Riley, and Willow all move forward compellingly. After reading your review, I now see why so many have blasted season 4 as weak, at least in the "big bad" department. I liked the Adam concept (mostly for its clever reinvention of the Frankenstein myth), but now I see how much more interesting it would have been for Professor Walsh to have been the general and Adam her lieutenant. Still, I was glad to see Walsh go; I found her irredeemably annoying. By the way, speaking of The Big Bad, I've been wondering lately: who is The Big Bad of season 2? Not The Judge; he's gone by mid-season. Dru and Spike? Unlikely, given Spike's last-minute alliance with Buffy. Or is it really Angel? I think so. Is this the right forum to pose this question? If not, let me know. Thanks again to all for your lucid, entertaining insights. This is my go-to site for BtVS reviews and comments.

Happy to read them. :)Thanks again to all for your lucid, entertaining insights. This is my go-to site for BtVS reviews and comments. All Comments | Link18 | JasonSep 28, 2010 @ 12:34pm I have a slightly different idea about Adam's place in this season. (Maybe this comment is more appropriate elsewhere, but I'm just following the conversation.) I think some seasons (like 1, 3 (maybe), 5 and 7) are very Big-Bad-focused, while other seasons (2, 4, 6) just aren't. S2 is about the complexities of Buffy-Angel-Angelus-Spike; S4 is really about the initiative; S6 is perhaps about "reality" in its various forms. Compare these to S5, where Glory establishes herself early on, or S7, where from the first episode it's all about the First Evil. Since the overall conflict of S4 is more about the Initiative in general than Adam per se, his late entrance didn't really bother me; he was a natural culmination to the whole season's themes and conflicts, rather than being the source of those conflicts. My point is just that different seasons have different "shapes", and Adam makes more sense if you don't think of him as "the S4 Big Bad". All Comments | Link19 | JermzyDec 16, 2010 @ 5:25am While yes I would have liked Walsh to provide a deeper villain for the Season (because let's face it- Adam rubs off ALLOT like the Master from Season 1, making grand statements about humans and demons) I can understand the writers making the mistake of immediately killing her off as I'm not really sure how Buffy (and Riley) could confront Walsh about that: "Hey you! You tried to kill me! Now Slayers can't kill humans and your millitary drones would shoot me if I tried but I just wanna tell you how much I hate you for that." Plus having Walsh as a villain would involve more effortless breaking into the Initiative which I take it you don't like. Anyway the actress who plays Walsh apparently couldn't stick around for the rest of the season so she was doomed nomatter what. All Comments | Link20 | PaulaDec 16, 2010 @ 10:49am I can understand the writers making the mistake of immediately killing her off I wouldn't call it a mistake but a necessity, since the actress left the show. Apparently the writers had a quite different half-season planned, but they were simply unable to pull it off for this very reason. All Comments | Link21 | DaveAug 13, 2011 @ 8:08pm I despised the way that Buffy was so out of character in this episode. It didn't feel like I was watching her at all. All Comments | Link22 | Lunatic on a pogostickAug 29, 2011 @ 12:44am Is it just me or does this series tend to have a contempt for authority? To me this episode really underscored the similarities between the Intiative and the watchers council. Specificly how they will both use and manipulate people to achieve what they define as the greater good. Just thought that was interesting :) maybe that was only me. All Comments | Link23 | snowflakesawayOct 26, 2011 @ 6:35pm They killed off Professor Walsh because the actress wanted to go do some movie. Originally, they had planned to make her the season villain (they sure set up for it) but when she decided to leave, that killed the character and invented Adam. It was a mistake, but sometimes circumstances just get in the way of your plans. All Comments | Link24 | JennyOct 29, 2011 @ 6:19am Though I agree about this episode's mistakes, you have to admit this episode has some charm. Plot aside, watching Buffy take out those Initiative guys at the very beginning is hilarious, and then watching her be briefed for the demon on the loose was even better. She seems so superficial next to these trained soldiers, until you realize, "Buffy can easily beat them DOWN." I also love how Walsh tried to kill her with two demons, and begins her speech to Riley about Buffy's death, then Buffy's face just shows up on screen. :) Gotta love the Buffster. All Comments | Link25 | DaveMar 24, 2012 @ 7:02am And here begins the over-shown Buffy/Riley sex scenes. Gets really old, really fast. Pros: - Willow's hair standing on end. - Buffy's threat to Walsh. Cons: - Overblown lusty montage. - Initiative. Yeah, not much of a Riley/Initiative fan, but I still feel my points are valid. All Comments | Link26 | JustJennaMar 31, 2012 @ 7:08am My favorite things about this episode: 1. WILLOW: Hmm! Wha'cha got in the boxes, drugs? (then sternly) It's not drugs, is it, Xander? -- I'm fairly certain she was imitating Principal Snyder here, circa season 3. Remember the episode when he was grabbing lunch bags looking for drugs? Then he even grabbed the Box of Gavrok, certain that there were drugs in it. Willow's inflection here even sounded like Snyder when she delivered that line. I loved it. 2. Giles forcing Spike to pay him back the money that Spike extorted from him in the previous episode. I love little moments of continuity like this. Plus the look of annoyed fury on Spike's face when he had to fork over the cash was priceless. It's because of this show that I adopted "Bloody hell" into my vocabulary - complete with an annoyed British accent and all. =D ****************** Also, just a comment on Prof Walsh's premature death: From what I have read, it was not the writer's original intention to kill her off so suddenly. The actress playing Maggie Walsh took a part in a movie and left the show, so they had to scramble to rewrite the arc. It was unfortunate because it really hurt the overall story and led to a truly horrible ending. I would love to know what was originally planned because based on what these writers are capable of (see seasons 2 and 3) I am sure season fours arc would have been much MUCH better than it ended up being. All Comments | Link27 | DaveMay 12, 2012 @ 1:27pm The whole sex scene montage was so horrendously uncomfortable. You could see SMG fighting not to cringe. Think this is one of the episodes she was at her worst in, too.

All Comments | Link29 | SummerDec 26, 2012 @ 2:48pm Ahhhhhhhh boo. Well I like Buffy/Riley sex and I am looking forward to more. Bring on Wild Things hahahahaha! All Comments | Link30 | ArachneaMar 1, 2013 @ 9:14am I very much liked the characterization in season four, one of the best. It's a shame we had to endure Adam and to a lesser extent, the Initiative. This episode is the perfect example of both statements. I understand that some can find Riley boring, but how can they hate him ? He's got a lot of qualities a lover would look for (honor, faithful, kind, sweet and strong), he's not a stalker, he's not evil and he's very human. I agree, it doesn't make for a powerfull character, but he was, at that time, what Buffy needed; a bit of stability and confidence in a relationship. And it's very understandable that he could have issues about being overpowered by a tiny girl: he is an old-fashioned chivalry man and he is a military amongst soldiers that are only men. And in reality, men are physically stronger than women, that's a fact (and women are more intelligent... Sorry, I had to :P). What I found interesting is the contrast between Initiative/Slayer. The Initiative is run by a woman and the soldiers - even the doctors - are all males ! I don't remember seeing another woman in the lot. Walsh is like a Queen, she's in control and have the power. We're shown here the limit and the conditioning of the soldiers: because the chain of command has to be respected, they're not "breeded" to think for themselves or ask questions. The Slayer is a woman, guided by a watcher - in the case of Buffy, a man, or rather a father figure. We see the difference in the points of views between Giles and Walsh: giving lease to breathe and think for oneself vs total control and power (but there was some truth in Walsh's speech nonetheless). So, Buffy has been educated to think, plan and act: the scene where she looks so tiny surrounded by big guys but is the one who asks pertinent questions is excellent. What was also good, albeit a little out of character (for Buffy), was the beginning of the estrangement between the scoobies. Buffy really seems to get into team Initiative a little too fast. I disagree with MikeJer about putting all the fault on Willow: it looks to me like everyone is at fault. Xander is left alone because he's not in college but they have no remorse dumping Spike on him. He's struggling with his life and is trying to get a job and a working relationship. (By the way, We don't know what Anya does during the day or where she lives when she's not at Xander's). Willow is hiding a new friend and it's not explained (yet) why she's so secretive about it. Buffy is completely oblivious of anyone else who's not Riley (her obsessive side). I understand her behavior towards Giles: he's like a parent to whom you don't say everything but you run to him when you're in need. The most hurtful scene is in the Bronze. We see that Willow was looking forward to a true Scoobie reunion (if Anya hadn't been there, all the better for her) and she didn't invited Tara. Buffy is totally disrespectful and oblivious in this particular scene. She gives a shameless excuse with a big smile, comes with her new troop and hardly hears the very clear and heartfelt speech Willow gives her. And don't forget that Willow chose Buffy and Xander over Tara; it's only after Buffy bails that she goes to see Tara. So, I emphasize, the blame is - if blame there is - on everyone's head, not only Willow's. They are all taking different directions and/or interests and it helps understand why Spike will be able to split them up so easily later on.

I have to say that when Buffy shows up in the monitor menacing Professor Walsh is one of my favourite scenes of the episode. And I too agree that killing Walsh was a mistake.
