Buffy comment... no particular episode...

[fajrdrako]

In relation to my ongoing comments on Buffy the Vampire Slayer, I thought I'd make an additional comment on the characters, as of 2x07, which is as far as I've gone.


Characters I am always happy to see:

• Spike
  
• Drusilla
  
• Angel (and isn't that a shocker, considering my longstanding antipathy for David Boreanaz)
  
• Giles
  
• Snyder
  
• Buffy
  
• Willow
  
• Ethan

Character I am always unhappy to see:

• Jenny Calendar
  
• Principal Flutie
  
• The Master and all the plastic-faced vampires, and mostly the gone-and-unlamented Anointed/Annoying One
  
• Cordelia - she has good lines, but is never more than a superficial cartoon of herself: not so much annoying as monotonous

I'm on the fence about Joyce Summers and Xander Harris. Joyce is too often the butt of humour based on her own ignorance. Xander - I usually have a negative reaction to him - he makes me want to groan and run away - but he sometimes has some brilliant lines and I like it when he does something intelligent or brave.
