Xander always rubbed me the wrong way. But there's a lot of Whedon's humor that doesn't hit me as funny, so I thought I was just out of step as usual.
I gave her everything... jewels, beautiful dresses -- with beautiful girls in them.
Spike ,'Sleeper'
Buffy and Angel 1: BUFFYNANGLE4EVA!!!!!1!
Is it better the second time around? Or the third? Or tenth? This is the place to come when you have a burning desire to talk about an old episode that was just re-run.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
I loved Xander back in the day, but nowadays the self-righteousness makes me want to smack him a lot of the time.

"Oh no! Has falling sky liquid once again caused you the sadness?" -Starfire
I never cared for Xander back in the day, but now all the over the top hatred (not from this board), makes me like him more.
I'm weird like that.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Some of it is probably being a bit more sensitive to Nice Guy entitlement now than 18 years ago. And I'm less fond of Joss than I was back then, which reflects on his early series authorial avatar.

We're about to watch S1E3, Witch. Casper looks over my shoulder, "Spike's Bitches? We don't even know who Spike is yet."

S4E4, Teacher's Pet. "He's too nice to be a regular teacher. He must be evil." She also figured out immediately that Xander was dreaming. (I am finding watching Xander really sad knowing Nicholas Brendan's struggles.)

"She's the evil bug lady! It's so obvious!"
When Buffy sees Fork Guy run away from Miss French, "Buffy's like, 'Oh shit!'"

"Oh my god Angel. He's so mysterious. (beat) He is cute. But he's like, 50 now!" (Me: DB looks SO YOUNG)

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
