Who was your favorite character in "Angel" (and why)

[warlord]

F%CK WESLEY! So what iff he went from ninny to bada$$. Faith is easily the best character on both shows. For one she's hotter then Buffy, had a hell of alot more character depth. And no I don't care that she's not on the poll.

Yeah, she's hot and quite cool. But not nearly as deep or dark as Wes. The dude had no superpowers and still managed to kick loads of arse.

Faith's my favorite person in the buffy universe period. But the question was best regular on Angel. I hear before Elisha Dushka went and did that dumb True Callings they were working on some type of rogue slayer series with her and Wesley.

I know she was planning to do a Faith series but I doubt it ever involved Wes since Joss seemed pretty determined to make him go from absolute ninny to badass suffering anti-hero which of course involves him dying.

I believe it did involve him. One of my favorite Joss quotes is, "death is not permenent. It's only a plot device"

The series finale was a tough one for me, let me tell ya...

I've got it on DVD and have seen it three times (twice in one night), and I'm not ashamed or afraid to admit every viewing of that part (Wes/Illyria) of the episode I bawled my eyes out (in a rugged, manly way of course).

Alexis Denisof's portrayal of Wesley, some how, for some reason, resonated with me like no other actor. There were small things, facial gestures and small looks, that conveyed depths of emotion and pathos that the other actors didn't seem to achieve. (Example: Wes talking on the phone with his father, uh, just about any time. Look at the skill that actor had...the phone conversation appears real, he makes it look so easy...and our hearts break for Wes that he'll never make his dad proud.)

And, going back to being a guy:

I'm not big into blondes, but Julie Benz as Darla......*sizzle* She's just damn sexy!

Eliza as Faith? She could "stake my vampire" any day, IYKWIMAITYD. Interesting character, decent acting, and 40 tons of sex appeal.
