Maybe the problem is SMG.
This is where I stand, pretty much. I've never been able to see B/anyone chemistry, and I think it's because I just don't get that vibe off of SMG.
Willow: Were there dolphins? Tara: Yes. Many dolphins at the pound. Willow: Was there a camel? Tara: There was the front of a camel. A half-camel.

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

Hey. New board.
Maybe the problem is SMG.
I'm going to revise my original statement to "maybe the problem is SMG as Buffy." Because SMG-as-Faith-as-Buffy/Spike has good chemistry in my opinion, as does SMG-as-Faith-as-Buffy/Riley, I think. I also definitely feel (rather squicky) chemistry with Kathryn/Sebastian in Cruel Intentions.

What is even happening?
Oh, it's funny to see things through other people's eyes. I think SMG is in fairly full possession of the BBoC chemistry factor, herself.

I thought B/A had incredible chemistry. I thought Riley and Buffy had decent chemistry, but the whingier he got, and the more self-absorbed he got, the less attractive I found him.
Cindy's take on this, unsurprisingly, is mine. While I thought the B/A relationship was an immature one that should have been obvious as a doomed and tragic mistake from miles away, the actors had enough chemistry in the first season to make smoke pour out of my TV. Really, more than Buffy/anyone else, or even Angel/Darla.

SMG was very changeable in my eyes. Even with the same actors there were days I thought she had chemistry and days you could tell she was reciting her grocery list to herself. But, for me, when she was hot, she was smooookin'!

Huh, I thought his was May 20th.
Comedies on The WB's radar include "Modern Men," about three friends who hire a female life coach; "Twins," which stars Sara Gilbert ("Roseanne," "ER") and Molly Stanton ("Passions") as fraternal twin sisters; the female buddy comedy "Mindy and Brenda"; and "Misconception," about a young woman who meets her formerly anonymous biological father.
Wow, the WB is really making my boycott a second thoughts-free experience.

It was mentioned on Whedonesque. I'm not sure where you go to doublecheck that sort of thing.
