yeah - it's like he gets the chip and forgets how to take hits - AND forgets how to be 'big bad' and beat ppl up --
he all-of-a-sudden turns into, like, MacGyver or something and gets knocked out -- (he doesn't quite move into 'shaking out his hand after every punch' but it's pretty sad) -
why did they do that? he was doing really well kickin' Buffy's butt, then all of a sudden - he can't kick as well w/ the chip? he wasn't out of practice THAT long ---- (all together now: CONTINUITY!)
