Cast Review -- The Championship Round by Delia

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 :)

Actually, yes. Mal and Jayne were tied, so there was a runoff vote that Jayne won.

Hey, Mal-licious, it's all KarenKay99's fault!

Thanks for the votes, y'all. Keep them coming.

Shhhh, shhhh. It's going to be all right. We both know that Mal was robbed, and no matter what the Jayne supporters say, we have truth on our side, and know that Mal should be representing Firefly in this poll. But I can't throw the voters off the thread, sweetie, so you'll just have to settle for sending her nasty looks.

KarenKay99, hope we're not upsetting you. It's all in fun.

Definitely Wes for the guy, but as much as i liked Fred/Illyria this season, I'll go with Kaylee, because everybody loves Kaylee! (Hey, she could have her own show ;-)

Jayne gets an honorable mention though. Adam Baldwin is a great actor and I'm sure that we would have seen a lot of growth in Jayne. I think JW meant to kill him off for the 1st Season Finale, though...

KarenKay99, I'm the originator of the favorite cast member poll. Delia is nice enough to take on the 3-show poll, since I know squat about Angel and Buffy.

Hey, everyone quit throwing tomatoes at me! (ducking to the right) Anyway, it was a very tight race between Mal and Jayne from day one. Like Delia mentioned, it came down to a special tie-breaker day, just so we could have resolution. I spread the thread to other areas, so that we may get as many votes as possible, and fair ones, too. Now, some may say that Jayne won only because Adam Baldwin communicates with the people on the board (well, the political folk, at least), but I must say, I forwarded this thread to a Mal Hottie thread, Wash is a Hottie thread, and Adam is a Hottie thread. I even found a Simon/Kaylee thread, devoted to their relationship. So, may I ask...HOW THE HECK DID YOU MISS MY POLL??

Ow...(ducking to the left) Rocks hurt, ya know!)

Spike and Willow. I feel kinda bad voting for the two from Buffy, and thought about giving my man Wes the vote, but at the end, we're supposed to be voting solely on hotness factor, right? so Spike and Willow. Tho I do think it's intersting how the woman from each show isn't the one who's supposed to be the "hot one", but instead the one who's more the heart of the show (tho Cordy was like this in s3 AtS). And the guys who won aren't the hero-figure of their show, but instead the badass of the show (I'm thinking of ScruffyWes for him).

Delia, I may not know much about Buffy and Angel, but if anyone gives you grief here, let me know. (Speaking of, where's Gunhand?) I can hand out some mean time-outs!

I vote for Jayne. As I mentioned before, I've been a fan of AB's since the early 80's. As for the girls, well, I guess it will be Kaylee, since I don't know the other ladies. I voted for Zoe in the Firefly poll, but Kaylee was my second choice. Delia, do you count votes if people haven't seen all 3 shows?

Elwoodmom,

It's OK, I think we got the Mal thing under control. But if Gunhand shows up (when Gunhand shows up) I'll probably need you.

And, yes, I'm counting votes from anybody, so long as they vote for one of the winners of the original three polls. If they try to vote for Saffron, however . . . .

oh my, the championcships....and the heat is on! my chica vote is easy...willow.

as usual, the male vote gets me all hormonal and flushed.

its between jayne and spike for me. wes its just too much of a good guy. i'm a bad boy lover....usually leads to

ok, i vote for gunhand...i mean jayne (since the picture on the MAL WINS thread, i keep getting them confused

) first of all, because given the option, i'll be in jayne's bunk instead of spike's crypt (ewy, dank!) and i just read the the above post that joss was maybe going to kill him off in the first season finale?!?!? joss and i would have had words...

so, finally, willow and jayne.

also, i just like all you mal lovers to know, it was really, really hard for me to write MAL WINS in my post, but secretly i wish he was here instead of wes. *joins elwoodmom in ducking rocks.....no thanks to her elbow-macaroni decorated tin foil hat*

Since Wes is here representing the one show Nathan WASN'T on, no chance of Mal replacing Wes. Sorry.

Just don't go making concessions to the Mal fans by picking fights with us Wes fans. Especially not when we're the ones counting the votes!

Kidding. Votes will be accurately counted. Or, at least, I'll make every effort to count them accurately. It can get a little confusing, especially when people don't cast both their votes at once.

I guess I'll let you stay. Let's just say you're on probation. Off to retotal the votes, so we can see if you've done any damage to Jayne's chances.
