Joss Whedon said the following at the Posting Board about Sarah and Eliza playing each others’ characters in Who Are You?: “The girls watched vid of each other extensively, trying to ape each other’s movements without falling into parody.” |

I’ve been sick all weekend so I was watching random eps and I watched Who Are You? this morning and remembered why it was so cool. Sarah and Eliza are awesome as each other. They picked up on the little mannerisms and body language and everything that the other one does. I love when Sarah does that thing that Faith does, when she’s talking to Forrest, where she puts her hands up in front of her chest and says “I don’t care. God, I don’t care.” And when Sarah says ‘about’ (”What’re you talking about?”) in Eliza’s Bostonian accent.And when Faith-in-Buffy is talking to Spike at the Bronze, she sounds exactly like Faith when she says “I kinda love this town.” Eliza gets Buffy’s soft, almost whiny pleading voice down when she’s talking to Giles (”Giles, you’re inching”). They are really awesome.

I rewatched this episode today and it always blows me away how brilliant Sarah Michelle Gellar and Eliza Dushku are at playing each other, their perfomances are just so convincing! There’s not a point where I’m watching and I think “meh, that wasn’t very Buffy-like, Eliza” or vice versa. I’d give examples of what sticks out but MagicBone beat me :-) And I want to get on with watching the next episode…

I must admit that I have long thought that each of them, but mainly Sarah Michelle Geller (not that she did better work, but because I don’t know how it could be used to honor Eliza Dushku) should have had this episode to submit to Emmy voters, as it shows how great both of them are. I do realize, however, that with the Emmys being run by uptight, snobbish folks who don’t have any idea what good television is, it just wouldn’t have helped, but still.
