Consider this for a moment. He was supposed to lead the Slayer to her death. Check. Then what? Well, apparently Mini Evil Lame-o never heard of CPR nor did he think the Master really was kind of lame. He had the creepy factor working for him, true, but the Anointed One really never showed any sort of true villainy that would be associated with evil. I mean, it's not like Buffy was the first (or as proven later, last) Slayer. Oh boy, you killed a Slayer. Brav-o! Now you just need to wait for the next hero to come along and slay you. Good planning, junior.
Of course, I think Whedon was still feeling his roots out and more than made up for it with Spike. Then when Spike went ga-ga, he came up with the Mayor, who was the epitome of cool villains.
