Share one thing you appreciate about a character you dislike.

Kennedy reminds me of Xander now that I think about it, "Without passion we would be truly dead" whether she is right or wrong, particularly when she is wrong, she has passion 1+

Spike. James Marsters acting style reminds me of clear influences from James Dean, I want him to be black and white but whatever he is, whenever he is it, he oozes vulnerability and sexuality. I want to hate him but Joss Whedon is right, there is just so much more to him as a character owing thanks to James Marsters acting.
 
Wood really came through driving the school bus despite being severely wounded.
 
Faith showed integrity, strength and surprising empathy in S7. I liked her line: "thank god we're hot chicks with superpowers." Great way to cement a bond with someone who's always been a rival. Xander can be quite endearing and selfless at times, and forgiving of others. Angel's expressionless face (I sometimes uncharitably think he has "dead eyes") don't detract from the fact that he's still very hot. I admire how he's multi-dimensional enough to show he's capable of expressing jealousy in an ironical, self-deprecating fashion of Buffy's other love interests (Spike). Principal Snyder is quite comic. Even Dark Willow's anger was triggered by something truly heinous (Warren's murderous behaviour) which makes her actions almost kinda forgivable.

Just realised I don't intensely dislike anyone from the show. Mostly everyone has some shades of grey. Love the Buffyverse as a whole.
 
I don't really dislike any characters anymore, but some still aren't my faves.

Wesley was a good friend in the beginning of ATS.
Spike was pretty funny and a good character in the beginning of BTVS.
Tara was very caring 🙂
 
Faith is really honest and to the point. She gives and takes no bullshit. I also really like her personal slang.

Wesley has really nice suits and is really cute when he blushes over Cordy.

Spike always looks really cool and will fight for what he believes in whether it is good or bad. He can be a self-serving jerk but rarely do we see him being a coward.

Warren was actually kind of sympathetic to a point. He didn't build a "sex-bot" he built a girlfriend. Which speaks to his social isolation and his at least initial reluctance to be exploitive. He leaves her behind but dosen't after he meets Katrina but doesn't mean to hurt her, under the impression that her batteries should have already died and she wouldn't know he was gone. Despite what he does to her, he seems to really love Katrina, he just doesn't know how to treat her. Which, again, is kind of sad. He was a brilliant genius who could have done great things if he had been on the path of good. Just imagine all the cool, James Bond gadgets he could have built for Buffy.

Now that you mention it David Borezeana's acting style reminds me of David Duchovny's, very understated.

I never noticed that before but yes. Well spotted.

Cordelia was hilarious in BtVS and AtS s1-2, she always cracks me up, even if the joke is inappropriate. She has an amazing sense of style on AtS seasons 1-2 and her hair is fierce in early s3 - that clean slick angular bob. It looked great.

Spike - He is probably my most favorite thing about Season 4. He is also very funny especially in the early seasons. I love how he annoys the crap out of Angel, because it’s funny.
 
Andrew have good comical moments
Kennedy has trust in herself
Connor looks like an interesting character in the first episodes
 
Spike made a pretty cool and menacing villain in Season 2
Kennedy was very self-assured and confident
Post-Season 3 Wes was a great fighter
Eve had a great wardrobe
Gavin was helpful when he gave Lilah the idea to burn someone alive
Andrew showed genuine remorse in Storyteller
 
Xander comforting Buffy in Beer Bad even though he just got burned by those jocks. His crayon speech to Willow. His extraordinary speech to Dawn.

Andrew- he does add some nice comic relief
