I pretty much agree with your list, Chris. I really liked Tara, Anya, Angel, Spike and Faith. Liked them right off the bat. Dawn had to grow on me for a few eps, then I started liking her. Oz was okay. I def. like Tara better than Oz, but Oz was okay. I liked Wesley. Wesley only appeared in a few eps, but I really liked him.

Riley sucked. Riley def. sucked.

I'm still afraid I don't understand Riley's character. The writers wrote new characters so great. I immediate liked most of the new additions. Why did Riley suck so much? I didn't compare Riley to Angel either. Angel was awesome, but I thought of Angel as Angel, Spike as Spike, and Riley as Riley. I didn't compare characters. Riley was just boring by himself. If I compared him to Angel or Spike, I thought he would've been even more boring. Cardboard boring. I guess all shows have to have at least one rotten egg in the batch, Riley being Buffy's rotten egg. Still, the writers did great on the other newbies. It was just that one character that was boring.
