Connor is just a WEE MISUNDERSTOOD WOOBIEMAN!
Plei is me.
Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

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.

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

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
My blind spot has a definite Giles-ish shape to it.

what is there about Giles that needs to be blindspot, hmmm??
Er, that is to say, me too.

What is even happening?
Heh. I was going to mention Giles, except that I don't think there's anything that needs to be blindspotted where Giles is concerned.
Okay, my own words convict me. I would like to know though, what about Giles needs overlooking [in the way we have to overlook Willow's self-centeredness; Xander's self-righteousness; or Buffy's [whatever it is, I know she's my blindspot)]?

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I think (and this is before S6, where the meta just overwhelms the character) that most of Giles' faults are of either the over-protectiveness or the thinking-he-knows-what's-best-being-the-Watcher-and-all variety, so...hmm...failing to trust the kids, at times, maybe?

cereal--Raq asked:
So, playing the role of Perkins, which Buffyverse chacter do fans have the biggest blindspot for? Or, which character do you, dear Reader, have a blindspot for?
I still want to hear more answers on this, but I'm also wondering, which character is everyone's anti-blindspot. That is, which one do you see (and you don't have to hate the character, you can even love the character) and think, "Oh sorry, but you don't fool me?" I guess my anti-blindspot characters are Willow and Jenny, and I've gone on about why enough, already.
Also, if you have an anti-blindspot character, do you maybe see something in that character that maps to someone you know in real life (or even yourself)?

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Giles is, on Buffy, my blindspot. The closest thing I have, on Angel, is probably Lorne.
Anti-blind spot--Andrew, for late season Buffy. Probably Buffy herself, a lot (She did make me say, "The Hell?" pretty regularly). On Angel, I'd have to go with Connor, I think.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Classic fandom? Willow.
Post-modern fandom? Spike.
What do you mean by those distinctions, Cindy?
I guess my blind spot would have to be Angel shaped, because I still have trouble with the idea that locking Holling etc. in with Darla & Dru was more than a little bad.
I'm probably not insightful enough to have an anti-blindspot. They all take me in to some degree.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I guess I'm with you, -t, beacuse, me, neither. I mean, they were actively eeeevil . I mean, I know, human, but still, not all that bad

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
I can tell, as if I couldn't already, that my blind spot is Xander shaped, because my anti-blindspots mostly have to do with actions on the part of other characters directed against him.
