I thought the way he walked out on his wedding was beyond cowardly. Totally in character, totally the culmination of his behavior that season, but I was really pissed off at him.
Reynolds, I'm a dangerous-minded man on a ship loaded with hurt. Now, why you got me chatting with your peons?

I 've been hands under the shirt, over the bra, Calvins in a wad on the front seat with some S7 Buffy spoilers - but we never went all the way ~tinaf
Oh, it's the end of Dawson, I gotta go watch, the end of my era of television is increasingly apparent.

I thought all that, but it didn't piss me off. It made me feel sorry for him. I'm very Xander-biased, though, almost as much as I'm Buffy biased. I like their weaknesses and ucky bits. I liked 'the lie' in Becoming. I liked his Willow snark in The Pack. I like his self-righteousness. (note - like doesn't equal admire, just enjoy) That stuff endears him to me.

Betsy, what was it Andrew said about the produce last night?
I've never been to Hooters. I expect to go to one and be highly irked because it won't live up to my expectations.
Hmph. Lucky people who went to Prom.
I watch Johnny Carson instead.

And Ted, learning what we did about Xander in the above referenced scene does us very little good if we are supposed to get information about Buffy and Riley. Can you use the above referenced scene to explain why Buffy ran after Riley? I can’t. I am still baffled by it.
Not me. After that speech I wanted to run after Riley.

They have an airline now.
I think Andrew said the produce was funky.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Me too. With a rocket launcher.
And then come back and slap Xander for being so preachy and awkward.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
Another minor nitpicky rant:
I'm a big believer in SDT, but I don't think I'm as absolutist as many here. Because I don't have a problem with a character saying, for example, "I love you," and having them be utterly sincere and honest. I really don't. That's not a violation of SDT unless it comes out of the blue.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

It's always nice when the character talking is telling another character. Less nice when they're telling the audience. Again.
