I thought Riley was a good guy and that Buffy didn't deserve him. The stuff with him visiting the vampire den seemed very artificial, to make him into a bad person & it never felt real to me.
I battle evil. But I don't really win. The bad keeps coming back and getting stronger. Like that kid in the story, the boy that stuck his finger in the duck.

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.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
For some reason, I remember Riley having better chemistry with Willow, especially when he was TA guy. I sort of wished he stayed TA guy, frankly.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
Laga, I always felt the same way about Riley, although I'm not sure I'd say Buffy didn't deserve him. It was always clear to me that he'd never be The One for her, but I liked him a lot. He was sweet and he tried hard to be the man she wanted him to be.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I realize I'm in the minority, but there you go.
I'm with you too. Not a B/S fan. Not at all.
I was okay with Riley until he started going to vampire crackhouses to get blood sucked out of him. That was a line crossed that I couldn't come back from. I never did feel the same about the character after that.

I dig Buffy/Spike for the hot factor but I really think Buffy needs therapy more than love. In the end Riley did find the right woman for him.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I thought the B/R relationship was fine while they were in the middle of it, but the writing that got the characters together and broke them up was painfully bad.
I never really bought any of Buffy's relationships from a chemistry standpoint. SMG as an actress is sort of a reverse-BBOC for me.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
a little Spike goes a long way, sort of like cilantro,
I like cilantro better than I like Spike.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
So for Ginger, BBOC = Big Block of Cilantro?

He totally did. At the time I thought that's where the storyline was going, and thought that Buffy being jealous of Willow would be interesting, and that maybe at the end of it Buffy could actually be okay with being single for while.
Crazy, I know.
Anyway. I can't remember if it's a commentary or an interview, but I remember someone mentioning that they quickly realized that Blucas and Hannigan had great chemistry, so they tried to avoid giving them scenes together. Which makes me sigh heavily.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

Wow. Take away the pay of that person for a month.
