Robin Wood- Do you like him?

Nope don't like him. I dunno, for me he just didn't click. And I found him kind of annoying. But very happy with him for bringing us the shadow puppets. Those things are so cool. 🙂
 
i do not like robin wood atall i mean sleeping with faith in buffy house after he was dating buffy not cool .... buffy should have shot him with the rocket launcher in "him"
 
He wasn't dating Buffy, Dyoll. They went on one date that actually turned out to be a way of just talking about Buffy as the Slayer and his own Slayer Mother. There was potential sparkage between the two of them, but for numerous reasons it never really happened. So when he slept with Faith he wasn't cheating on Buffy in anyway.

However, doing the deed in Buffy's bedroom in Buffy's bed...something not quite right there. Haha
 
I actually liked him.
At first he was just a new charrie as the principle but as the season went on i really liked him.
i liked the whole problem with him n spike, added something different.

I tell you what - if someone, anyone killed my mum, and I found them years later when I was strong and able to defend myself and bring myself a way to stop thinking about it, I wouldn't flinch before killing them.

What difference does it make if someone has "recovered"? They're still the same person. The episode Lies My Parents Told Me was much less about Robins relationship with his mother and his growth as a person and much more about Spikes personal growth and acceptance of the horrendous things he has done that he felt guilt about.

To me, it seemed that almost none of the season was actually about Robin, he just provided back up to the characters who did continue to grow and change throughout Season 7.

Robin and Faith? Seemed more like they needed a warm body to make them feel a bit safer then had any real connection. I guess because out of the scooby's they seemed like the outsiders.

To be honest... This is the first time I've thought about Robin at all so pardon my ramblings.
 
Hate is a strong word but no I don´t like him. But I do understand his character and I truly believe he could have grown as a caracter if the show had continued. No I´m not counting season 8 in that way. If the show had continued I don´t think it would be as the comics.

Very briefly at the beginning of "No Future for You."
I dunno. Ill still always like him. Granted he didnt have any major influence, but that doesnt make him a bad character.

No major influence? It was his suggestion that almost got Spike killed. It was his suggestion that convinced Buffy to take the Potentials to the vineyard in the first place. Finally, it was his suggestion that Faith should have a turn as leader that ultimately led to Buffy being kicked out of her own house. Wood instigated a lot more trouble than any amount of good he might have done on the show, which is why I always thought that, in the end, he would either sell out to the enemy or be found out as being an agent of the First Evil all along. The only positive things that he did during the entire season was to bring Buffy the Shadow Puppets, and that almost got Spike and several Potentials killed by the Exchange Student, and drive Buffy and Spike back to the school to rescue Xander in "First Date." I would call that major influence, just not POSITIVE influence.
 
I Liked Him At The Start Of Season 7 But When He Started His Whole Vendetta Against Spike He Started To Annoy Me......He Just Seemed To Think He Knew Everything To me
 
Well, WA, i was going by what others were saying about him being a part of the background. i didnt say i didnt think he had influence. i guess that came out wrong.

i for one love the character and even if it was negative influence, it stirred things up.
 
I though Wood was a great character, one of the best in the last few seasons.
I loved the whole son of a slayer thing, and that he could dust vampires through his watcher training, the story
just seemed to fit in to Btvs so perfectly. I think he was definetly one of the more likeable people, especially compared
to Kennedy.

Imo, the Wood/Spike story was maybe the best story of s7, you could just see that Wood must have
been desperate to kill Spike. I dont know how some people can say 'he should just get over it', i mean, he's
finally found the vampire responsible for his moms death, you'd be pretty pissed off.

Most off my favorite Btvs and Ats episodes are ones specificly focused on slayers or vampires, and
there is plenty of that theme in the Wood storyline as he is tied up in the lives
of Buffy, Spike and his Mother, Nikki. And LMpTM is just a fantastic episode.
So all in all, i think Robin Wood is great character.
 
I dind't mind him at first - I think him being the son of a slayer is a pretty clever idea. I liked him less when he came into Revello Drive thinking he knew 'stuff'. I loved it when Spike beat him up too🙂. I wouldn't mind to see a little more of him in the comics too, somewhere along the way.
 
I like him and I think Faith and Robin is a nice couple. But I didnt like him when he liked Buffy, but later I liked him... 🙂
 
Do you like Robin Wood?

As a character, I think he was mis-used.

In my opinion he would have made a much more interesting... well villain isn't the right word, but non-ally.
Someone who would be morally ambiguous and might be on either side depending on the situation - a self-serving mercenary actually.

Someone who isn't all that impressed with slayers, since his mother being a slayer is why he was orphaned.
Someone who isn't all that impressed with watchers since they really don't "help" the slayer much especially with all of their resources at hand.

If the watchers wanted to, they could set "the slayer" up with the magical equivalent of a batcave with hundreds of Alfreds.
What do the slayers really get? A lone connection, little actual support on the battlefront and at home and isolation.
The watcher's wetworks guys said it best... all that money and they still fly coach.
I'm sure this knowledge of what little the watchers do would have had a negative effect on his outlook on "good".

I don't think he would have had an entirely negative view on Watchers considering he was raised by one since he was a little boy. Resentment perhaps, but it would have been a soft spot too I think
I think that they could have had Wood be secretly in league with Caleb and the First Evil, and he would have been a much better character. Considering the trouble he either caused or participated in over the season, he might have been cahoots with them anyway.
 
I like P-wood just fine. He was much better than Synder (what a little PITA) and I thought he was damn sexy. He & Faith made a good combo, IMHO. I loved that he had a vendetta against Spike; that fleshed out his character a good deal, and Lies My Parents Told Me was one of my fav eppys.

YES!

I actually liked Robin Wood's character, I agree that alot of times he was just "there" but he didn't annoy me. While everyone was "betraying" Buffy and singling her out etc he was the only one that made sense in that role. He's an outsider, he's never had experience being around vampires (he'd only taken them on one-on-one before) let alone vampires with souls, so why would he care if Spike is ensouled? He has an outside view so why wouldn't he pull Giles the most sensible and most patriarchal figure there into his plan to kill Spike? And why wouldn't he disagree with Buffy and kick her out? He's a son of a slayer with abandonment issues that had his mother taken away by Spike and that was shunned for Spike by Buffy. He was the only one with the most outside view and bias to actually justify kicking out Buffy. Can't blame a man for being who he is (especially since no one's hating Spike for being a murderer or his attempted rape or his fling with Anya...etc...)

His character and his acting made all those things so believable that it wasn't annoying to me, plus he had such a different fighting style than all the rest. And, cool weapons, can't go wrong with that! (He fought Spike with a MACINTOSH!)

Plus, trapping Spike in a room full of Crosses and those arm things? Bad ass and genius! I honestly think he would've made a waay more boring bad guy. A mysoginyst priest was the perfect counterpoint to the pagan "feminist" and we've been through the "evil" principal and authority figure already. And, "Son of the Slayer?" much cooler surname than "the vampire slayer."

Ya'll just mad cuz he's prettier than you 😉
 
i really like robin wood !

i just cant believe they decided to use the name robin wood, sounds like your trying to say robin hood, but cant. haha
 
Robin annoyed the heck out of me too. Spike got his soul back and was a good guy in the end but Robin still hated him. GET OVER IT!!
