which is a shame because, all too often, Buffy was the most irritating character on the show!

Granted, the fact that, as a viewer, I let the character get to me meant that I'd made a connection with the show, but when a person is only tuning in to see how JW is giving the FCC the finger *this* week (I mean, really, were they paying attention at all during the whole Spike/Buffy thing?) then something's gone wrong...
