Cranky Buffyverse Villian Poll

In a crappy mood. The weather mocks me with its beauty. So a poll about villianous acts in the Buffyverse. The worst ones. The best villians. The lamest villians. And villianous or indefensible acts by favorite characters or what we think are indefensible acts, everyone's mileage varies on this, I'm certain. Actually the biggest flamewars online have been over the indefensible acts of popular characters and whether they are redeemed. I'm curious to see where the vast majority of the Buffy lj fandom that happens to read or occassionally read my journal falls on this point. Course the fear of doing polls is no one will respond, memes are easier in that regard. The other problem with polls is you can't edit after posting and there are just so many ticky boxes. So if not on the list, provide a comment. But remember to
be respectful of other's views, particular those that make you scratch your head and go, huh?

[Poll #1488559]

Hmm, I would actually have liked to have chosen the First as lamest villain ever. It just talked and talked and talked. And the whole thing with Giles in S7 (is it Giles or is it the First? He hasn't touched anything/body in a billion episodes) sucked so much.

And it's not so much that I don't think Willow was redeemed. It's more that I was dissatisfied with how her arc was resolved with the whole magic addiction, etc. Since she failed to recognize what was really wrong, I'm not sure what she learned.
