Sympathy? Empathy? Apathy?

[deird_lj]

Commenters on this post seemed very split on whether they sympathised with Kate or Justine (no-one really seemed to sympathise with both).

So I started wondering…


Here's a poll - about the background characters on AtS (or the female ones, anyway) and what people's reactions to them are.

I liked Justine and Holtz together. I kind of dug their twisted mentor/student hero-worship relationship, and they were both so ridiculously angry and vengeful. But they were in the show just enough, and I wasn't sad to see either of them go.

I liked Kate, too, but I didn't buy into her attempted suicide. After that, I thought her arc had run its course, and there was no need to bring her back (even if Elizabeth Rohm had been available).

Gwen was fun and hot, and I liked her. But again, she was just okay.

Lilah - Yay! I was sorry she wasn't in S5 instead of Eve. (Though I love Lindsay equally, and squeed when they brought him back.)

Darla - YAY! Out of all the female leads that they threw at Angel over the years, she was the only one that worked for me. Their chemistry was electric. And her death was absolutely perfect. *loves*
