Willow Rosenberg: charming cutie, irresponsible brat, or dyed-in-the-wool villain?

Discuss.

Irresponsible Brat?

IMHO, she was a charming cutie until they needed a new Big Bad at the end of the show’s run…

…and since the show ended at the end of Season 5 - it DID!! - the OP is moot anyway…

:wink:

While I understand the reason to disavow the latter two seasons, we cannot do so withuot losing “Once More, With Feeling,” and clearly that would be the act of a madman.

I’m going to go with irresponsible my ownself. I think specifically of her actions at the end of season two.

Willow was evil. EVIL! Anyone with red hair is clearly evil. Everyone knows that.

No - that is an honorary Season 5 episode. It IS!

Yes

Why isn’t there a “who the hell is Willow Rosenberg?” option. You’re apparently referencing some TV show, but I have no idea what.

All of the above?

A charming cutie that is sometimes bratty, and has some serious self control issues.

Most of Joss’ characters are pretty well-rounded, which means they are often at least a little jerkish.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

Fool of a Pylean!

“Once More with Feeling” makes no sense without the preceding episodes of season six. Not only is it necessary to have Buffy resurrected, but you also need Dawn’s shoplifting, [del]Willow’s abuse of magic[/del] Willow’s using magic to abuse Tara, Giles’s heading to England…

Sorry. As questionable as S6 is, you can’t dispense with it and keep OMWF. I checked with aslan to be sure.

When people start threads referencing athletes without naming the teams or sports, I don’t complain.

Come on Dio, you should know better. I’m not going to respond to the poll, because I haven’t watched enough of the series, but any popular culture entity is going to have a Wikipedia entry explaining it all in excruciating detail.

Oh, ok. I’ve never seen that show. I was just curious.

A woman like that could ruin me.

If I was lucky.

Irresponsible brat. By the end all the attraction was gone. Always seemed so friggin’ calculated on Whedon’s part: “Here’s a geeky, computery chick for all you nerdy guys too intimidated by the hot blonde lead…but wait! There’s more!..She’s a Witch now! But wait!, there’s more!.. she’s a Lesbian now! but Wait! There’s more!..she’s Evil now!”

Her girlfriend, on the other hand - *there *was a cutie.

There really needed to be this option in the poll.

I disagree. Willow is a major character in the television show. Anyone whose watched Buffy the Vampire Slayer knows who she is, and if you don’t recognize the character and show from just the name, you can’t reasonably have an opinion.

If someone started a thread on whether, say, the designated hitter rule should be abolished, I wouldn’t say that there should be an option for people like me whose only knowledge of said rule is how to spell it. The fact that I don’t know jack about baseball means would keep me from voting in the poll.

La la la - can’t hear you!!

Curse your canonical logic. I still prefer a retcon involving a Dallas-type dream thingy; hey that would get Willow in a shower, right? Yeah back to la la la…

:wink:

Very much a proper response from an urbane librarian.
