Robin Wood- Do you like him?

My only problem with Robin is the same issue I had with Kennedy, Andrew and all the other new(ish) characters from that season. Too many new faces to get to know in a season with an arc that was too damn big as it was for 22 episodes. Moreso at the expense of the characters we already loved.

That said, of all the new faces I'd say that Robin was the best used and the most interesting. Wasn't a big fan of his opinion of Spike but then seeing Robin get his ass kicked him kinda made up for that. 😉

I think he was justifed for how he felt about Spike. He didn't understand the gray matter as Buffy and her friends do, about "good" and "bad" vampires I mean. Spike killed his mother.
 
I think i resented him for surviving when Anya didnt. but ohwell. i always thought he was alrite until he went all macho and vampire killer, honestly i think that they could have done without another one of those around. Also getting all physical with Faith was a little silly. but i guess they are a good match.
 
Nope, because he sucked up too much time in the season, and that time was limited 🙁
 
before his character came into the forefront more after we found out about his mother, i liked him, cause he was shifty and he was open to speculation (he played the character well then, since they didnt tell him if he was good or evil on the show)
 
I kinda liked Robin Wood, as a character he had depth and connection to the show, his mum was a slayer and Spike killed her blah blah blah, and I really liked the scene when he takes spike into the cross-fest of a room and plays the song his mother used to sing to him, and Robin had some funny lines, made me chortle quite abit, not bad. I even liked the developing relationship with Faith. Overall, ok character, good story, funny lines.
 
I think I can safely say: No. I did not like Wood.
I mean, sure the idea of a son of a slayer, is neat, but....COME ON! He just happens to be Nikki's son, and just happens to enter the group who goes around the killer of his mother? I know, the mind of Whedon works in mysterious ways, but still... I don't like him.

It's just that I didn't feel liek the gang needed a new addition to the group when they had like 20 girls running around like confused sheep. OK he can fight, but that's not all it takes to be a part of the gang. They had fighters. They needed more thinkers/ witches
 
I tend to go with what the general reaction to him is..... "meh". I didn't hate him, even though he tried to kill Spike! but that I guess was justified, blood lusty vengence on the vampire who killed your mother? understandable. He did have a few cute moments and I liked him with Faith. I am glad he was there, coz that gave us the awsome episode that was Lies My Parents Told Me. But overall as a character he wasnt all that fantastic.
