I agree. I think what is great about all of these characters, and I see it here when people are talking about each character, is how these characters changed so radically over time and especially as some of them moved on to Angel.
Second after Cordie is Wesley. Both evolved and became more complex (and tragic) over time.

I'll put a vote in for Riley too.


Worst, Dawn and Connor.

I went with Xander. The guy dealt with a ton of shit in the series. His character progressed slowly but over the course of the series he really went from being a helpless dork to a relentless fighter. Some of the stuff they did to his character shocked me more than I can even express. I still can't bring myself to re-watch the final few episodes of the series.

I went with "other" since there wasn't an Anya option. I really liked a lot of the characters, but there is something about Anya that was just great. She was beautiful, funny, and just a damn good character.

I'm all about Faith and Willow.

And they would've made a cute couple in season seven:

FAITH: "Well, you know, spend three years in a maximum security women's facility and you find about new things."

WILLOW: "And believe me, she did learn a lot of things."

XANDER: "I'll be in my bunk."

For me it's a toss up between Willow and Giles.

I flipped a coin and voted for Willow.

Faith. I wouldn't mind Dushkuing Eliza.

Anya was mine, but I voted for Cordy since no option. What was so wild about that show was how there were characters I couldn't stand then grew to love and characters I loved that I later hated. Some folks resented that, but I looked at it as a natural progression.

I decided to throw Xander a vote. To me, Wesley didn't qualify as he bled over to Angel too much. Spike, Drusilla, Fred, Gunn, Lorne too. Cordy, too, I guess....

No Buffy? or Angel?

Of all the characters, I would've gone with Angel I think. Wesley #2.

I dunno. I'm a mess.

skip.

How does Wesley not qualify?

'Buffyverse' means both series as a whole. If "Firefly" were a part of this poll, it would be called 'Whedonverse' since they're all Joss Whedon - created shows.

Every time I see the real skip - David Denman - on another show, I think 'how did this guy pull off a character like that?' because with all that demon make-up and the costume, Skip looks both too tall and skinny to be the same guy....but he is, so that's just a strange occurence.
