Faith Vs Xander Harris : What Character Moves To Sunnydale, California With Mother Joyce?

Original, well-written and acted tv show where buffy summers (sarah michelle gellar) moves to sunnydale, california with mother joyce (kristine sutherland). once there, she makes friends with xander harris (nicholas brendon) and willow rosenberg (alyson hannigan). she also meets rupert giles (anthony stewart head), the school librarian.

Repentant and rededicated, faith returned as a heroine in other episodes of angel and in the last five episodes of buffy. as an unwelcome effect of her portrayal as faith, dushku was inundated with fan mail from legions of prisoners. she said: i've been getting fan mail from maximum security penitentiaries and death row.

The rest of the cast, with the exception of james marsters as spike and anthony stewart head as giles do not leave much of an impression with their mostly limited material. xander offers some amusing humour as he begins to adopt the persona of renfield from the dracula mythology yet even the writer marti noxon's commitment to maintaining that persona throughout xander's entranced spell is disrupted at one particularly jarring moment where xander, "slayer-sitting" buffy asks her if he can take her to dracula in exchange for immortality. it's a moment that is poorly acted by nicholas brendon, who is otherwise funny in the episode, and is such a frustratingly unnecessary moment in an otherwise amusing side story.

Nicholas brendon offers comical relief as the incredibly loveable xander harris, the heart of the group who goes throw too many jobs too quickly and is always protective of his darlings buffy and willow. emma caulfield plays the point-blank hiliarious anya, my favourite female character. emma is incredibly talented and delivers anya's lines wonderfully.

Eliza dushku rose to prominence during the 3rd season of the tv show "buffy: the vampire slayer." playing faith, a bad-girl slayer with a penchant for tank tops and excess violence that contrasted perfectly with sarah michelle gellar's conflicted and confused buffy, dushku made a huge impression on the show's audience. soon, feature film roles followed as well as a return to "buffy" during it's final season.
