I'd had the same reactions: I'd expected to be way more impressed by Sutherland and Hauer, but Sutherland came off as tired and phoning it in, and Hauer was campy in a way that was hard to enjoy completely. It was just... you kind of expected him to be cooler. Maybe that's why Pee Wee worked so well - you didn't expect "cool" from him and yet, he sort of was. Neat.
I never watched 90210 either, and hadn't heard much about it, so I had a completely blank slate for Perry. Which I'm sure helped in this context. : )
Agreed on the Pike appearances! I remember there was a comic back in the pre-Joss days that had a Pike appearance too, and he and Buffy took a trip to Vegas to slay vamps there. That was a fun one!
