There's a vulnerability in the eyes, a way that Smidge lets her voice trail off, the rhythm of her banter and her joking that was there from the very first moment.
KBell plays hard in Vmars and while I love her to death, I don't think she displays as much range in her voice the way Smidge does. It's the tone.
And for me, that vulnerability was there the whole time. From the moment Buffy backed away from the Vampyr book in quiet horror. There are moments, the spaces in between the lines and the actiony drama, where Smidge fills it with the way she quietly acts in Season 7.
And that was there from the beginning. The potential fit was always there. And while Buffy's greatest pain hadn't been evident, from the moment Buffy arrives in Sunnydale, she is in pain and to convey that in a pilot while also being perky new girl and superpowered Slayer...
It's always been in the eyes for me and it's there in the beginning as I see it.
