What's the worst thing each of the characters below did?
What's the best thing? (I'm talking morally here.)
Feel free to add characters.
Buffy WORST: never appologizing to Spike for the beating in the alley in Dead Things. I understand her psyche at the time, but an apology was warrented. BEST: starting to grow up in S7. She was finally beginning to become a woman not a little girl.
Giles: WORST leaving Buffy after dumping even more responsibility on the fragile girl His slayer had just had a breakdown prior to her death and was up to her ears in responsibility already, it could only crush her and did. BEST follow his instincts early onwith Buffy's training. He allowed her to be different.
Xander:WORST his leaving Anya the way he did....shameful! BEST: his loyalty and bravery
Willow:WORST her mind control tactics with Tara especially. BEST: her intelligence
Joyce:WORST: her jumping to conclusions regarding Buffy (especially the news about vampires, Buffy's finally revealing her slayer status and her siding with Ted over Buffy's insights). BEST: she was a loving mom, even to Dawn after she found out Dawn wasn't really her daughter.
Angel:WORST his need to manipulate and lie. Even as Angel he can't stop himself. BEST: his real desire (as Angel) to do good.
Drusilla:WORST: her loving Angel more than Spike even after all Spike did for her. BEST: her love of family, both her human one and vampiric one.
Spike:WORST his quick tongue (not in a sexual way)...his speaking without thinking, "Even better than killing a slayer", for example. BEST: his capacity for love and self sacrifice.
Mayor:WORST: his evil intentions, BEST: his "family values" and genuine caring for Faith
Faith:WORST: her lack of self discipline, BEST: Her confidence
Ethan Rayne:WORST: his tendency towards evil, BEST: his sense of humor
Willie the bartender:WORST: his lack of loyalty (like letting Kendra lock Angel in the cage), BEST: his paying attention, making him a good source of information...it was also nice he wasn't a bigot where demons were concerned either.
Oz:WORST his closing out Willow from his struggle, BEST: his insights
Dawn:WORST: her youth caused whining, BEST: Her ability to love and accept without prejudice.
Ben:WORST: his compromise with Glory, BEST: his original desire to thwart Glory
CordyWORST: her ego, BEST: her growth and maturing to more than she was
WesleyWORST: his insecurities (in the early days, his pompus attitude), BEST: his inner strength and courage
RileyWORST: he was a bully, BEST: duh........he was cute to look at I guess
AnyaWORST: her complete lack of remorse over harm caused, BEST: her honesty
