Not necessarily. I used to go fishing a lot and not catch any fish. I still considered myself a fisherman at the time...

That's exactly my point. Whether or not you catch a fish, you are a fisherman. Whether or not you shoot a buck, you are a hunter. Hunters don't change their names to Slayers after they shoot a deer.

It's incorrect to assume 'Hunter' means he hasn't killed anything yet.

Ah, I misread your post. I assumed that you meant that to be a hunter it was necessary to have BOTH hunted AND killed a deer, demon, or whatever. So we're really in agreement.

It's possible to be a demon hunter, but never to have killed one. Also, it's possible to have killed one without ever having been a hunter (say you accidentally ran over one with your car or something).

So Wesley saying he was a rogue demon hunter really doesn't tell us anything at all about his success rate, does it? However, he never actually mentions killing any, either (does he? I don't remember for sure)- just tracking them.

Apathy on the Rise. No One Cares.

and he probably would have (told everyone) if he killed any.

and changing his title to 'slayer' and the reverse deduction was a joke hence the smilies.

but maybe he would have changed his title too if he'd actually killed a demon (that was worth killing). I hope the poodle lived to tell the tale (to other dogs, so they are warned).

let's just agree that our Wes is the best the posturing stumbling demon hunter with the chafing leather pants as well as the kickass version of later seasons.

and the video I almost forgot to mention was beyond great - soooooo funny. thanks a lot for that gem.

How did a thread entitled 'wes is the best!' ever get this far? ;)

Lol, no I'm talking about the ridiculously pointless dissection of the phrase 'rogue demon hunter' ;)

ahhh! i see! so a discussion on how much we all enjoy wes is not the issue.

in fact, perhaps it seems perfectly natural for a thread about how much we like him to last this long!

Let me just say, I thought he was just delightful from bumbling clown to tragic hero.

I remember the sexual tension between Cordy and Wes in Buffy. It built through numerous episodes. Finally....the kiss......"Well, best of luck on your trip back home...."

I just liked Giles' line about Wesley having "the emotional maturity of a blueberry scone."

So quotable. . .
