Apr. 12th, 2004 01:59 amAs threatened, a Buffy poll, since I'm curious:
[Poll #277287]
My own answers:
1. Once More With Feeling
2. Giles and Xander are tied. I thought Xander was the funniest thing ever, and Giles... :swoon:
3. Buffy/Giles, for about fifteen minutes before the Spuffy kiss at the end (I went in completely blind, knowing nothing about these characters, not even the benefit of the Previouslies to tell me what was what. I think it was viewing three when I went "oh, Spike's a vampire!")
4. Buffy/Wesley, for the first flashficathon.
5. Angel, narrowly edging out Spike and Wes.
6. Once More With Feeling
7. Buffy season 4
8. Angel/Spike smoochies, dammit. A B/X relationship in season 2 or 3. A proper W/X relationship.
9. Angel or Spike becomes the guardian of the deeper well.
10. 8 (this is shameful: I watched it with a group, and kept my composure. Then I herded them out of my room and immediately watched it again. I started crying at "I don't know what I would've done if you'd gone up those stairs" and didn't completely stop till ten minutes after the end credits...)

First, Giles had nothing to do in S4, and having nothing to do was his arc, leading to such unexpected behavior as open mic night and intercontinental and interracial booty calls and eventually, in S5, the penis car. Second, Anya, physically, is 18 years old, which is young enough to be his kid. Chickenhawking like that would naturally cloud his relationship with Buffy, which, while occasionally presented to others in a somewhat unhealthy way, was nothing but chaste.
I don't think anyone thought about Ganya until "Tabula Rasa", which proves it is right and true.
