30 Days of Buffy Meme - Part 2

Day 7. Least favourite male character. Oz. Just didn't get him. He didn't seem to add much to the mix except as Willow's love interest, and both Kennedy and Tara were more interesting.

Day 8. Favourite friendship. Not sure about this, because it's not something I paid too much attention to. I think I'm going to go with Buffy and Willow because it's played out over the most time and explores the way friendship has to adapt when life circumstances change.

Day 9. Favourite romance. Buffy and Spike. Okay, it was dysfunctional and not very romantic, but Buffy was more interesting when she was with Spike. I wished the writers would let her get off her moral high horse and enjoy him.

Day 10. Least favourite season. Season 1. It just doesn't have the depth the rest of the cycle does. From Season 2 onwards you can see the whole story arc that results in the Season 7 finale, or at least you can if you've watched all the Seasons in an epic Buffy marathon, as I have, (several times). I remember not liking Seasons 5 and 6 all that much when they first aired, but when watched as part of a whole I gained a whole new appreciation of them. Season 7 couldn't have happened without the storylines of Seasons 5 and 6. Season 1 sits outside of that grand arc. Also, it has some really annoying episodes (and one or two good ones).

Day 11. Least favourite romance. Willow and Oz. Didn't get the chemistry, thought Willow could have done better.

Day 12. Least favourite episode. The Puppet Show.
