Yeah, Fred didn't so much have a purpose as have nowhere else to be.
I loved Illyria, but mostly for what she showed us of Wes. And Lilah did that better.
She growls?! You made her so she growls?!

[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls, The Inside and Drive), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
The Lilah/Wes thing was genius. Or at least, very good TV. brenda speakuths the truth.
Here's another truth: there should be 900% more Alexis Denisof on TV.

What is even happening?
Please use spoiler font for new releases until after the weekend following release.Oh, it seems I remembered the words, but not so much the order. Sorry about that, Jackal. Thanks, Jon. At least it fleshes out the same for today.

I never took to Fred...
Cindy said what I was trying to say, only much, much better. All of it. Not taking to the character, feeling manipulated in a bad way at her death, appreciating Amy Acker's acting.
Amy Acker is So Very Cute
I've never really gotten this. I mean, she certainly has had her moments; I've seen some lovely photos. But overall, while I appreciated AA's acting, if I were choosing an actress for eye candy, it wouldn't be she. I have found the same thing with others that many have assured me are incredibly attractive, so I've decided it's a quirk of me.
Now Gina Torres, or even CC before St. Cordy...wow.

Hah. Not finding the pretty with CC or Gina myself. I think it's all* in the smile for me.
- Well, not all.

The status is NOT quo.
Not finding the pretty in CC, okay. But GT?!? Really? Even at the end of Serenity? How is that possible?

In Kevin's world, anything is possible. Even flying. Whilst drunk.
I've met Gina, though, and she's a sweet heart.

"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
Characters hanging around for no reason has happened before -- Spike being a good example in season 4 of Buffy (and season 7) (and season 5 in Angel).
For the record, Spike hanging on (and on, and on...) long after any justification for his presence or continued existence had fled? Not that effective in convincing me that the same tactic should be used with other characters. By early 2001 if a television could have conducted sharpened wood into the show's fictional setting I'd have happily sacrificed my 20" Quasar's screen to stake him myself.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I loved Spike. But after a certain point, even I couldn't figure out why he was still there. Except that the fans loved him, and well, that serves something other than the story...

OTOH, character-wise, wasn't hanging around long after he was welcome or had a purpose kind of...in character?
