My high school crush on Oprah flares up again at the oddest moments, though I more consistently find Queen Latifah the bee's knees. And I could never figure the folks who didn't like Gunn because he "wasn't interesting" -- admittedly his Angel S5 arc wasn't as complex as I would have preferred, but I can't see him as a mere token foil. His interaction with Angel in "The Shroud of Rahmon", to pick the first one that occurs, is hilarious, dramatic, scary and insightful all at once, the way the Whedonverse was meant to be.
Doesn't matter whether I 'like' a character. Give me *good* characters, give me *interesting* ones, and I'll be there.
