LOL!

I think Sarah and David have the ability to really bring out the best in each other - maybe that is because they had been their characters and had been working together for so long. Two examples I would cite. The final scene of 'Amends' in Buffy S3 when they argue about whether Angel killing himself is the right thing to do and the scene in 'I will remember you' in Angel S1 when Angel tells Buffy they will lose their day together. Both were amazing.

I agree with you. Both of those scenes are incredible...although I prefer the end of 'I Will Remember You' if only because there is no righteous anger but instead it is all vunerability and desperation...two things we rarely get to see in Buffy.

I think we may be thinking of the same scene, I'm not sure I worded it very well. Are you thinking of the bit where Buffy starts crying and says 'I won't forget' over and over?

Yeah, we're thinking of the same scenes. I was just agreeing with you and then extrapolating that I like 'I Will Remember You' a bit more because it shows a side of Buffy we rarely get to see, which means some acting that SMG rarely gets to do. SMG breaks my heart in that scene.

I've never been impressed by Boreanaz, but the other two give fantastic performances. I'll say Gellar, just because she worked so hard for seven years on Buffy and always left me convinced. Not that Nathan's probably not just as good, or -for all I know- better. He terrified me as Caleb, so when I watch Firefly for the first time it took me a while to adjust to him as the hero. But you have to give tribute to that much hard work.

Your pick?

I gotta go with Nathan as the best overall with greater range and depth..If we were doing most improved that would be David..From his wooden deliveries in the first season of Buffy to the scene with Kate in Epiphiny (Season 2)..SMG is a fine actress for what she has to deliver...but Nathan is still tops

Nathan, without a doubt

Nathan is the one with the range that will make him an A-list actor someday.

As much as I like David and Sarah, they just don't have that level of talent.

I would like to say Nathan. Not only do I like his character but I also like the actor as well. I like Sarah and David, but just that. I absolutely HATE their characters lol. Angel's all Broody and whiny :P and Buffy's selfish and conniving (b/c of what she made Spike go thru)
