WE aren't going to tell you! YOU have to watch Buffy and Angel to find out. Right, everyone?? (looks around for support from the boards)

Absolutely! Willow was the original Kaylee. Don't tell me, Elwoodmom, that there's STILL no gas in your car!

Fireflygal -- to paraphrase the captain, you can type "Jayne and Kaylee" till your ears bleed, but it still only counts as one vote.

Wren -- No promises on the winners, but I hope you don't have to spend too much time sulking. . .

Lissa -- Fresley -- I love it!

Thanks for the votes, y'all!

MAUGWAI

Spike. It's tough, because he and Jayne have similar functions, but I've gotta go with Spike.

And I wish Illyria and Fred were listed as two different characters, because I never was a huge fan of Fred, but the more I heard Illyria talk to more I liked her. I mean, come on: "I will make trophies of their spines." What is more awesome than that? So I guess I'm voting for Fred/Illyria, but really just Illyria.

just kidding...spike also very cool (he was my vote in the buffy poll), and they are essentially the same character, spun different ways.

so no real point, i just couldn't let a bashing of jayne go unanswered.

WHEDONESQUE

Choosing between the girls is easy for me. It has to be Willow (it would have been Cordy, but that is not an option here *sniff*).

Choosing between the guys is much harder. Spike and Wes are both such great characters that have developed in some interesting and unexpected ways, but they have both still remained true to themselves. I think I have to go with Spike, though, because he was always so much fun to watch. There were times when watching Wes was downright painful.

I didn't choose the firefly characters (they weren't even in the running for me) because they weren't given the chance to grow/change/develop in the brilliant and (to me) unimaginable ways that Joss would have dreamed up.

Don't get me wrong, I LOVE Firefly! I have been a Buffy/Angel fan since day 1. I watched both shows throughout their entire runs (again *sniff*) and I still think they are extraordinary. So when I say that I think Firefly was even BETTER than either of those shows, that is very high praise indeed. If Firefly had had the 5 (7, 10...)seasons it should have had, my voting in this contest would have been very different.

Now they see sky and they remember what they are.

Willow beating Kaylee, this just cannot be.

I read this while eating a bowl of STRAWBERRIES and was so upset I knocked them everywhere. Now I have a STRAWBERRY coloured stain on my settee. It's lucky that I am a STRAWBERRY loving person.

Good job I'm not one of those unethical people who try to influence future votes, cough, cough, STRAWBERRY, cough.

ZEPRAN

Even with the fresh image of Strawberries I still have to cast my vote for Willow. I didn't like the Tara years much, maybe because I was a huge fan of Oz?

For the gents my vote goes to Spike.

I do have to agree with some earlier statements that these votes may be influenced by the amount of time these two characters were part of the weekly entertainment.

Willow - Spike

INSANESPIKE

The guys vote, well, that's an easy one for me. Spike is, hands down, my favorite character out of any show Joss has ever produced. Not only is he a bad ass, he also has some of the funniest lines. So my vote for the guys is for Spike.

As for the girls, well, thats a little tougher. It seems to me to be a toss up between Willow and Fred, and I love both the characters. But if I had to pick just one, I'd have to say Fred.

I had to get in on this....

For the Y-chromosome crowd, I vote for Wesley (my all-time favorite character in any Joss show).

For the girls, it was a tough decision between Fred (in any of her incarnations) or Willow, but I'm going to have to go with Willow.

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 5/23, am

Jayne -- 12
Spike -- 14
Wesley -- 6

Kaylee -- 11
Willow -- 14
Fred/Illyria -- 7

Absolutely, completely, totally hot.

Also, I don't think there's a chance souled Spike would "betray" Angel -- move against him if he felt it needed doing, hell yes. But not betray in the Jayne-selling-crew-members-out-for-money sort of way. Spike might pick little fights, be insubordinate in small ways (though he never agreed to be subordinate anyway), but betrayal is a bit much.

Now, if we're talking about NON-souled Spike, he's capable of betraying anyone (see the alliance with Adam, his treatment of Harm and Dru when he got all Buffy crazy). But if you're talking about the relationship on AtS, then I think Angel is more capable of betraying Spike than the other way around.
