Not a massive Doyle fan, but don't know much about Book, so Doyle just for his exit.

 

[Wildfly]

booth are good, went with the padre.

 

[GwenRaiden]

This one is difficult! I like them both equally.

 

[Taake]

This one is difficult! I like them both equally.

Agreed!
Went with Book in the end. Not a hundred percent sure why, another gut feeling I guess. Or maybe his awesome hair...

 

[Spanky]

There was so much hidden beneath the surface of Book that you never saw but always wanted to know more. Whereas Doyle was a (pardon the pun) open book. Book had an air of mystery and intrigue about him.

 

[ChaseRules]

That the reason I voting for Book myself

 

[Athena]

I went with Book, because I thought he was the more interesting character. His past was ambiguous. I liked Doyle, but I felt we never really got to know him....

Alternatively, you got to know him but there just wasnt that much to know.

Maybe. Book seemed more layered. Doyle never did, but maybe had he stuck around we might have found that out.

 

[Spanky]

Maybe. There just never seemed to be that much to Doyle. I mean they did introduce a lot of him- his gambling, marriage, infatuation with Cordy, his self-loathing, so they were trying to add depth to the character it just didnt seem to work. I don't think it would have made much of a difference if he hung around.

 

[ChaseRules]

They just seemed to throw things at us . But if they had keep him then Cordelia might have not changed so much .

 

[Ethan Reigns]

Book all the way. Doyle seemed to be a one-dimensional character who was oversold. Book we saw enough of to know he had a lot more going on in his past that we would be interested in.

Not sure, because to me the character had a slow start, and it was really only the last few episodes of his run that I started to get into him. I would have liked to have seen what kind of couple he and Cordy made. Was never sold on them until the end, which I guess was part of the point right?

 

[Jules]

There both good but I was so intrigued at Books character that I went with him.

 

[Washburne]

Because the bible is somewhat fuzzier on the subject of kneecaps.

 

[Mr Trick]

@ChaseRules That's one theory yes, but that has never been confirmed. I do buy the story that his drug issues got in the way and that it forced their hands, so they came up with the best way they could to write Doyle out. A bit like what happened with Cordy except in this case I am more on the writers side than with the Cordy example.

 

[ChaseRules]

I agree. Wonder if they would have done that storyline of him passing on his talent if his drug habits hadn't cause that. And don't get me started on what they did to Cordy.

 

[Spanky]

@Faith tie break?

 

[Fuffy Baith]

Another tie? I vote for Doyle! lol
