 Five characters I love (in no particular order): Tara, Wes, Anya, Cordelia, Faith

Characters I dislike (i.e. want to fastforward when they are on): The potentials (Kennedy being in a class of dislike all her own), Eve.

Aug 29 2007 02:00 am   #3Scarlet Ibis

Likes? Okay: Angelus, Illyria, Wes (post cut throat), and Anya.  Okay, that's four... tie between Giles and Xander.  Honorable mention: William, for being so adorable beyond words... Darla for being kick ass and original for using guns, and to Lilah Morgan (it appears I have a thing for evil). 

Dislikes: Huge tie on vomit inducing levels are between Riley and Kennedy, Rona, Maggie Walsh, and Dawn at times with the immature attidude and all of the screaming...Oh yeah, Eve and Connor were two annoying bitches too.

I'm with Scarlet - love Angelus, Illyria, Anya. I adore Drusilla, though writing her crazy messed-up banter is challenging. Liked Caleb, too, but I think that was really about Nathan Fillion, as there wasn't much time for him to be all fabulous and creepy. ;) And Harmony - oh wait, that's six!

Hate? Hmmm ... there were more than five Potentials, but let's just slot them in.

The Pro's... (love beyond the pet peeves)

Anya - I love a woman who you could have a truly interesting 'no punshes pulled' conversation with. With anya i could discuss all from Retail to Rear end, and it would be new each time, because she rediculously honest and refreshing. Top friend material in my opinion. You WANT this woman at your party/hen/baby shower.. no You NEED her there.

Dru - I hate her for being so good with Spike, their lovely together... in their own way. She needs to be in this list cose shes SO FUNNY!! sometimes she cracks me up so much...

Andrew - Because id love to strangle him a lot, but he was important to the dynamics since the bounce went out of xanders character (understandably) i love andrew the annoying little shit

Dana (the deranged slayer) - I like her, simple as.

The Decoys - Becose man, i was worried there for a while but one of them  made my day in the end.... thank god

 

The Con's... no perticular order

Xan - I cant take the racism, he is such a seethrough character and his behaviour is too much to love beyond the pet peeves.

Ben - Urg! whats with buffy and men leading dubble lives/identities! to think of it only Pike was just Pike. One turned out to be gay? ones a tin soldier, vampire, half mad goddess... ai ai ai. Well i suppose Spike never hid his 'other self' from her

Potentials  Dawn  Initiative gang - I dont think i have to elaborate on these

Lurker here to put in 2 cents:

Faves-

Anya

Cordy

Wes

Lilah

Oz

Dislikes-

Kennedy and Connor tied as the two I'd knock out and feed to something nasty first.

Warren

Eve

Xander- I used to love him, but the last 3 years I wanted to do violence on a regular basis to him. He did not improve in any fashion by the end.

Aug 29 2007 04:52 am   #10Guest

Top 5 in no real order:

1. Anya

2. Tara

3. Wesley

4. Andrew

5. Oz

Bottom 5 in no real order:

1. Riley (he actually is my #1 least favorite character)

2. Kennedy

3. Angel (in BtVS I hate him, but I can tolerate him in AtS)

4. Warren

5. Holland (which is kinda funny since his actor plays one of my favorite characters in LOST)

Aug 29 2007 05:54 am   #11DreamsofSpike

Hmmm....I'm finding it's hard to stick to just five, at least in the first category...which characters do I really love, besides Spike and Buffy?

 

1.  Tara Maclay

2.  Fred Burkle

3.  Wesley Wyndham-Price

4.   Lorne

5.   Lindsay McDonald

 

Which ones do I hate?

1. RILEY!!!!

2. Kennedy

3. Walsh

4. Connor

5. Mayor Wilkins

Aug 29 2007 06:10 am   #12lostboy

Wow, really DoS?  Mayor Wilkins???  What a great character!  I mean, I wouldn't want to hang out with 'im or anything, but still snappy-as-all-hell!

Well, at least we both still H8 Kennedy...

"Xander over Riley?! *scratches head*"

Maybe I should have mentioned that my list was in no particular order. :P

Aug 29 2007 09:27 am   #14SpikeHot

1- Xander Harris: I used to dislike him, then I discovered it was just fanficion that made him into a monster. Canon Xander is a wonderful if flawed young man. Especially in season seven.

2- Rupert Giles: Who can hate Giles? Forget Pod Giles in season seven, Giles was always supportive of Buffy even though he hates Spike.

3- Dawn Summers: She's smart and likes Spike.

4- Wesley W Price: Hot Wesley in season five is all I can think of.

5- Faith: She was too messed up and that made her twice interesing.

 

Characters I dislike:

1- Potentials: All I can think of I rather watch more Scoobies than boring brats.

2- Eve: Boring

3- Kate: Boring

 

Aug 29 2007 10:59 am   #15deedo

(in no particular order)

I like:

Tara

Andrew

Wesley

Fred

Faith

 

I don't like:

Kennedy

Dawn

Xander

Warren

Wood

Aug 29 2007 07:16 pm   #16pfeifferpack

 Random order:

Like:

1. Tara

2. Dawn

3. Oz

4. Giles (except season 7...I am convinced he was a robot)

5. Early Willow (so sweet and insecure)

 Must have secondary list for AtS 

Gunn, Angelus, Lilah, Lindsey, pre higher being Cordy and Illyria

Dislike (but  I love to write and read as the bad guys):

1. Riley (and all the Initiative except possibly Forrest)

2. Kennedy (reminds me of the pushy guy who doesn't understand no)

3. Wood

4. The FE (too vague an enemy to really use easily)

5. Eve

Also dislike milktoast Angel from early BtVS although DO like him in LA after he moved and started to grow....love Angelus on either show.


Call me a rebel but I couldn't keep to to only 5 each! 

ITA LB....The Mayor is a hoot and half my reason for the Faith love I have even if they didn't make the cut


I love every character on these shows because they are rich and multi layered and so very easy to play with.

Aug 30 2007 03:17 am   #21Spikez_tart

I love way more than five, but I really Hate:

Kennedy - yeah IB - she deserves two spots at least.  I want to smack her really bad.

Cordelia once she becomes a major Mary Sue on Angel, which really sucked because I liked her when she was a bitch.

Conner gag me with a spoon.  He deserves two spots also.

All the potentials except that one horse face girl.

The Annoying One - grrr.

 

If we want her to be exactly she'll never be exactly I know the only really real Buffy is really Buffy and she's gone' who?

why is noone putting warren as there number 1 dislike riley wasn't that bad

Sep 08 2007 06:01 pm   #28SpikeHot

I think it's because they didn't enjoy Riley's character, while Warren gave a very good plot even though he was an asshole. I don't hate Riley, I think he was a nice guy, I actually wished that Buffy returned his feelings. He had sacrificed so much for her until he became nothing, which he didn't handle very well.
