This or That: Part V

[Athena]

Oh, Giles/Anya!! The way he leans back with her swooning in his arms... That's melodrama!! This is my secret ship- Giles/Anya would've been great together.

Ultimate heartbreak: Buffy finding her Mom's body or Fred dying in Wesley's arms?

 

[Carrie Hopewell]

Fred dying in Wesley's arms. The acting and the writing were brilliant. Amy and Alexis are beautiful together. Also, Fred was the superior character, by far.

Since I'm watching Welcome to the Hellmouth right now:

Best character intro: Giles or Angel?

 

[Guy]

Giles. Because Anthony Stewart Head can act circles around David Boreanaz.

Who wins in a fight - Giles circa season 3 of BtVS, or Wesley circa season 3 of AtS?

 

[thetopher]

Because Anthony Stewart Head can act circles around

ASH can act circles around any other actor on either show apart from maybe Alexis- they should've had more scenes together...

Speaking of- Wesley, because Wesley is out of his pratfall phase at this point whilst Giles still gets bonked on the head occasionally.

Better Faith line: 'Just like ridin' a biker.' or' Are you the bad slayer now? Am I the good slayer now?'

 

[Guy]

ASH can act circles around any other actor on either show apart from maybe Alexis- they should've had more scenes together...

I do not feel particularly inclined to argue with that statement. 🙂

Better Faith line: 'Just like ridin' a biker.' or' Are you the bad slayer now? Am I the good slayer now?'

Just like ridin' a biker! 😀 Sometimes Faith is just cool... And by sometimes I mean all the time.

Most entertaining lesbian subtext - Cordy and Harmony in 'Disharmony', or Willow and Fred in 'Orpheus'?

 

[Carrie Hopewell]

Willow and Fred, there obviously the superior characters 😛 Plus, they're so cute in the scene when they're talking about books.

Best Giles line: "For God's sake man. She's eighteen and you have the emotional maturity of a blueberry scone. Have at it, would you, and stop fluttering about." or "But… you didn’t hone…"?

 

[thetopher]

" But...you didn't hone..." I like prissy-Watcher Giles.🙂

More amusing: Wesley pretending to be a vampire or Angel pretending to be Jay-Don, the flashy vamp from Vegas?

 

[Carrie Hopewell]

Wes pretending to be a vamp! The second he put on Angel's coat I knew the episode was going to be hilarious. I remember how disgusted I was when the bad guy of the episode gave Wes a cup of blood and I realized he was going to drink it! That scene, the one with the cross (he puts his hand on ice and remembers that humans feel temperature changes) and when he accidentally steps inside the house without being invited are some of the funniest Wesley moments.

Best first episode: 'Welcome to the Hellmouth' or 'City of'?

 

[GwenRaiden]

City of. Easily. AtS had a head start in terms of quality though. 🙂

Oz's one-liners or Cordy's one-liners?

 

[thetopher]

Oz's one-liners, seem more effortless, and are nicer for the most part.

Green-eyed slayer: Buffy being jealous of Kendra or Buffy being jealous of Faith?

 

[Carrie Hopewell]

Buffy being jealous of Kendra. It doesn't last as long and it's kind of endearing.

Green-eyed vampire: Angel being jealous of Xander or Angel being jealous of Riley?

 

[acalebw]

Angel being jealous of Xander. Their hate-on for each other was enjoyable, and the chemistry was great. Angel hating on Riley was jun too, but just not AS fun as the A vs X rivalry.

Green-eyed Witch: Willow jealous over Veruca/Oz or Willow jealous over Buffy/Faith?

 

[thetopher]

Willow jealous of Oz/Veruca, because at least it was legitimate. The other was kinda petty.


Giles' feelings are hurt by Buffy!- 'Revelations' or 'A New Man?'

 

[wickedtiger86]

Oh, Revelations. That's like getting sucker punched in the soul.

Best Halloween costume: Giles as a wizard or Anya as a bunny?

 

[Monkey Pants]

Anya as a bunny! She went as what she was afraid of!

More shocking: Buffy clocking Xander in Normal Again, or dream Giles choking Buffy in When She Was Bad?

 

[Carrie Hopewell]

Giles choking Buffy. That was disturbing.

More shocking: Tara's death or Fred's?

 

[Monkey Pants]

Hmm, both were very unexpected. I'm gonna go with Tara's because it was so instantaneous. If you asked which one was more painful that would be another story however...

Would make a better couple: Oz/Buffy or Tara/Xander?

 

[VisionBoy]

Oz and Buffy. Tara's not much for the timber.

The Hyperion Hotel or The Magic Box

 

[Guy]

The magic Box!

Better episode-that-focuses-on-a-side-character: 'The Zeppo', or 'Doppelgangland'?

 

[thetopher]

The Zeppo is the more focused on its side character, so I'll pick that one. I like Doppelgangland more though.


Better episode involving gambling: 'Double Or Nothing' or 'The House Always Wins'?
