Who is your favorite Joss-verse character

Mal is a great character. He really cares for his crew and loves them like family. Once you are part of the crew there isn't anything he wouldn't do. I love how he has that squishy side of him but hates to admit it....for example,the ending of "Safe": Simon: Captain, why did you come back for us? Mal: You're on my crew. Simon: Yah but you don't even like me. Why'd you come back? Mal: You're on my crew. Why we still talkin 'bout this? Aww.....Mal.... I think my favorite male character is Xander. Even though he can be such a jerk sometimes...he's loyal to the end. He may complain, and see himself as only a carpenter, but he's always willing to help out and put himself in harms way. I love the scene in "Potential" when he tells Dawn, "They'll never know how tough it is, Dawnie, to be the one who isn't chosen. To live so near to the spotlight and never step in it. But I know. I see more than anybody realizes because nobody's watching me. I saw you last night. I see you working here today. You're not special. You're extraordinary." I such a cheeseball I swear it makes me cry everytime I see it!

For me I think it's a little bit of both. Nathan Fillion is a hilarious guy. He has a myspace page and writes some great blogs. I'm looking forward to Drive actually. And it's alwyas nice to see some of the crew in any capacity.

Well, the actor is the face, but my crush is more on the character. Nathan Fillion is a pretty goofy guy, but I'm a sucker for Mal's heroics. ^_^

I know what you mean! It's so hard to put into words. I never feel I do justice to how important a character Buffy is to me.

Absolutely. I've always had trouble putting into words why exactly I loved the series, and, trust me, I've been asked a lot of times before. At one of my old job, though, there was this guy that always came in, and he had daughters my age and older, but he loved the show, too, and not just because of Buffy's body, or whatever. He got it, and we'd always talk about it. It's hard to describe it unless that other person gets where you're coming from, and even then it's hard.

Good point. Each character is lieable in their own way. Even some of the villians are oddly likeable because they are clever, or just impressively smart. Or sometimes they are just interesting because they are so evil, like Warren.

I know! Even as I was posting this question I could barely make a decision myself. The characters are so varied, and yet I feel like each one relates to a part of me.
