Very true (and you can tell I was being satirical anyway.Or trying to.)
But if we just found the one fictional character that everyone loved, it would solve all our problems.
You mean the time between Villians (or TTG?) and Potential, and once more in EP? You're right, we don't see him again do we? That's an interesting concept.
Yes, I meant that, although I may also have forgotten his two appearances in S7.
Basically he's a plot device anyway, showing that 1) Buffy's different worlds fit together very awkwardly if at all, and "normal" for a Slayer looks a lot different than everybody else's, and 2) another shade of grey away from the black/white. humans/demons divide that the WC has drummed into Slayers' heads. (ie, Kendra)
That's probably true. And he shows a good side of Spike. In some ways, I think Spike's interactions with the demon world in S6 are a stronger argument for his goodness than his interactions with the human world (i.e. the Scoobies).
I honestly would have been very happy with more Clem and less - oh, say, Andrew in S7. But he drives me up a wall anyway.
I like Andrew and am glad with what we got from him, but, like Harmony, he is annoying, so I get the feeling.
Now I'm curious why - but I should probably reread your meta on Warren and Willow shouldn't I?
I'm not sure if I get into it in that meta, except to say that the way he parallels everyone on the show is cool. I have a hard time putting into words why I love Warren. Just the little things, like in Dead Things the way he checks out Andrew and Jonathan to see what their reactions are to getting away with murder. The way he is simultaneous one of the most human villains (even more human than the Mayor and Faith, because for me, he feels like someone you would actually know) and one of the most irredeemable.
