Word. I saw that argument about Faith being too cool, and I thought, "What does that even mean?" I certainly have trouble connecting with Faith, but I don't think it's the coolness factor that's the problem.
There are definitely different types of cool - and with a TV show, you have the additional complication of people who are cool according to the other characters (Cordelia in S1, Faith when she first shows up) vs. characters who are considered cool by the audience, but maybe not the other characters (Giles, or Faith after she goes bad).
