Well, we're having a runoff, in another thread. Go vote.
On behalf of Elwoodmom and myself, I announce the championship round of the cast review, when we pit the winners from the three Joss shows up against each other to see who the board's all time favorite characters are.
The rules are simple -- one guy vote, one girl vote for each voter, voting closes midnight eastern time on Wednesday, May 26. You may only vote for the characters who have already won (in other words, votes for Mal will NOT be counted). You can mix and match series (for example, vote for Wesley and Kaylee). No voting by proxy. All votes must be cast in this thread. No changing your vote once it's been cast.
The Competitors:
Jayne Cobb, representing Firefly vs.
Spike, aka William the Bloody, representing Buffy vs.
Wesley Wyndam-Pryce, representing Angel
AND
Kaywinnet Lee Frye, representing Firefly vs.
Willow Rosenberg, representing Buffy, vs.
Winifred "Fred" Burkle/Illyria, representing Angel.
May the best characters win.
RESULTS
as of 5/26, pm
Jayne -- 16
Spike -- 16
Wesley -- 9
Kaylee -- 16
Willow -- 16
Fred/Illyria -- 9

GUNN: Right. What's that mean again?

Too ruttin easy--
For the guys--
(sorry to Firefly fans, me included) Spike wins hands down (this is largely due to the fact that Spike was around 7 seasons, whereas Jayne had a rather truncated life, so far).
And for the girls--
Kaylee (I like Willow, but Kaylee rules... and Fred is WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYY too skinny, plus she irritates the ever lovin snot out of me)...
SO, Spike and Kaylee win, end of it.
Jefé has spoken... well, typed, anyway...

Since I started this, guess I'd best cast my own votes --
Wesley (my favorite Joss character on any show, hands down)
Little harder to pick for the girls, but I've got to go with Willow.

This one is hard. I think i'll go with Spike and......wow, for the girls its a hard one... but i think i'll go with Fred, even though i love Kaylee like a lot a lot a lot, i'm going to have to go with Fred.

MAL: This is my scrap of nowhere. You go on and find your own.
SAFFRON: You can't just leave me here, on this
lifeless piece of crap moon...
MAL: Sure I can.
SAFFRON: I'll die.
MAL: Well, as a courtesy, you might start
getting busy on that, cause all this chatter ain't doin' me any kindness.

These are really tough choices...
This may just be an emotional reaction to "Angel" ending yesterday, but I'm going to go with Wes and Fred. As much as I really like the others, I think those two gave the best performances.
Yep, Wes and Fred.

ok. I'm gonna make it shortish today (it's late here and I'm tired):
girls first becasue it's easier:
my vote has to be: Willow
...there's nothing else, although Keylee is sweet in her own way. Fred doesn't even come into consideration. I have no problems chosing here because even if I had all the females from all the shows to chose I'd still take Willow.
for the men it's almost as easy but not quite
my vote goes to Spike
Wes would be a close second (if not as close as Giles would be or Simon if they were in the poll, but...). Jayne is a big dumb unciviliced turn off. sorry all the fans but he's really not my type. If I had all the males I'd be sitting here and thinking for days (Spike, Giles or Simon) so it's somewhat easier even if Wesley is a very possible choice too. I have to take some time to watch the last 2.5 seasons of Angel first before I can really decide against him. but that's not gonna happen til Wednesday so my vote is Spike.
and has someone noticed that Buffy and Angel both didn't do too well? that should be weird somehow but for me they were both really not the most interesting characters on either show.

Yes, I spotted that as I tallied the votes. But it didn't surprise me. The heroes of the shows have to stay heroes -- Angel's turns as Angelus aside. They can miss out on some interesting plotlines because they can't be too weak. They can't drift too far from centers of their characters. Nor are they necessarily the smartest -- both Buffy and Angel had a Watcher (in some capacity or another) around to do the research. The jobs of being funny, or clever, or getting the really wide-arcing plot lines went to other characters (Wes and Cordy in Angel, Willow and Xander in Buffy). The moderate in the middle, the center of the show, has trouble being as interesting as the people who can go to extremes and to edges.
Just to make this clear, this isn't a crisitism of Buffy or of Angel, both of whom I like well enough.

It's a tough one between Jayne and Wesley for me... they are both strong characters but so different.
Hmmm. Ok. Jayne. no Wesley. Ohhhhh. Jayne. Yes Jayne.
Girly vote is easy: Willow.
Looking forward to seeing the final outcome :)
