The Buffy stunt doubles are really sticking out. She used hers more than Spike and Angel did, or there's don't stick out as much. One or the other. I know David insisted on doing most of his own stunts as did Marsters, who came from theater, but he did scale back considerably when his stunt double asked him to let him do his job.

The burned hand bit in S3, Episode 8, Lover's Walk - which I just saw yesterday morning, and that's why it comes to mind and why I know the season, episode, and title. That and it's a fav. That bit was done by Marsters not a stunt double - as you probably know as well - because he refers to it in all his interviews and Q&A's. He apparently decided he had to do this really dangerous stunt - so they could get the shot right - and injured his hand in the process. He was lucky that they shot that scene last.

It boggles my mind that they shoot these things out of order - and the actors don't get confused.
