Agreed, he was terrible in a not great season. But I did like the idea of Buffy trying to have a normal BF and getting the opposite, but not opposite in the ways that would actually have appealed to her. It made sense for Buffy’s character development to have a BF like him.
I was thinking the other day that the only child to ever play on any of the Star Treks that wasn’t off-putting was Naomi Wildman. (Voyager).
Every other child was a complete annoyance.
In Murdoch Mysteries there’s Detective Watts whose quirkiness is quite annoying to me; my wife despises him.
And in Big Bang Theory, Priya made the show unwatchable for me, until she left.
Is it because she’s a lesbian?
Regardless of the show, if Kate Micucci shows up, that 's the character I hate.
I feel the same about her partner, Fish-eye whatever her name is.
Mrs. Mondello on Leave It To Beaver. What an annoying, fussy frump she is. No wonder Larry’s dad is never around.
Dr. Harold Samuels on Head of the Class. Seemed like a horses arsh.
Gayle on Bob’s Burgers. Just plain irritating.
1000x this! She was totally unlikeable and her and Leonard had zero chemistry. When she left, it was a great example of addition by subtraction.
Priya never bothered me much. The one who had zero chemistry was the woman in the last season that Raj was going to marry. Anu? I can’t even remember her name. She was awful - not sure if it was the character or just a bad actress.
I didn’t mind the character of Priya but I agree, the complete lack of chemistry made the whole storyline cringeworthy. Now that I think about it, I didn’t really like any of the women any of them dated(I do like Penny, Bernadette and Amy). Especially Raj’s girls.
I dislike Gloria on Modern Family. Her son Joe isn’t much better. Actually, I’d say I dislike Joe more.
How can anyone hate Kate Micucci or Riki Lindholme?
Worf explains:
I remember that scene. Pity it was in such an otherwise dreadful episode (which is admittedly off-topic but is sort of topic-adjacent).
By looking at and listening to her?(Kate, that is). Sorry, that was snarky. I know she’s very popular and I can see her appeal to those that like that quirky type, I guess.
Beth from Yellowstone. Kelly Reilly is a good actor so its not her. They took what could be a very interesting character (and sometimes still is) and turned her into a cartoon character.
Snark is always appreciated. I have to confess that Kate bothered me at first. She’s got a look that kinda pigeonholes her as “awkward and quirky,” but she grew on me, much like Kristen Schall did.
Toby Ziegler on The West Wing. For almost the entire original run of the show, I would fast forward through all of his scenes because I found him so creepy and unpleasant. When I later watched the show on DVD, there were scenes I couldn’t remember, and then I realized that I’d missed them because they involved Toby. At least I enjoyed the fitting way his story ended.
More Star Trek franchise stuff:
I don’t mind the actor, but the character Q on TNG drove me crazy.
And I didn’t mind the character, but the actor was terrible: Kate Mulgrew as Captain Janeway. The range of her facial expressions went from “somewhat concerned and slightly shocked” to “deeply concerned and very shocked.”
(And I agree with @SciFiSam’s comment upthread that Neelix - the character - was pretty hard to take. But he was an inventive cook who took joy in feeding people, so he had that going for him.)
I agree. I also took great joy when they (off-camera, while on hiatus) dropped Rosalind Shays down a turbolift shaft on ST:TNG.
