Babbling, sorry. softly_me July 11 2010, 19:17:43 UTC

Speaking as a Xander fan, he makes a lot of mistakes in third season, especially in regard to the Angel-stuff. In a lot of ways, I think he has a right to be upset at Buffy in the beginning of the season. They're big fight at her house in Dead Man's Party is totally justified because she did just abandon them. Of course, Buffy had a lot of good reasons to go, but Xander has a reason to be upset. They're both right and both hurt which is what makes the fight so interesting.

I think that fundamentally from the very beginning, Xander has a real problem with distinguishing between Angel & Angelus. For us viewers, it's like they're two completely different people so we don't hold Angel responsible for Angelus' actions. Xander only sees that the person who tormented them for months and killed Jenny is now sorry about it. Like a serial killer who has decided he feels bad about what he did. In Xander's mind, Angel is still responsible and shouldn't have his actions forgotten. So, while his attitude toward Angel is often completely ( ... )

Oh I was totally on Buffy's side for that, because I really empathised with her. So much so that the first few episodes made me sob. Yeah, I'm a basket case. But I felt that Xander should have been waaay more understanding. She's BUFFY - she wouldn't have "abandoned" them unless she had a really good reason or something terrible had happened. And I can't believe how insensitive he was. It's annoying cos usually I adore Xander, but I'm having a hard time liking him this season :( May have to rewatch my fave S2 eps :P ( ... )

I understand that. Buffy is my girl and I definitely see where she's coming from. I just also see how Xander could feel really hurt and betrayed. In my rewatches, I've noticed how early Xander has a bit of an anger problem. He has trouble keeping his temper in check. This is particularly interesting when we learn a little more about his father.

Uh, comic spoiler, Xander is currently dating someone other than Anya, but it's not someone you've met yet in the series. Needless to say, it's not Buffy *grumbles* BUT, there is major B/X tension.

Yeah Xander does snap a lot, at least in the seasons I've seen. Can't wait to learn more about his family :)

Yeah I googled the Xander shippage in the comics :( Stupid Dawn. And yeah Buffy falls for him, right? And I know Anya dies :( Stupid spoilers.
