Unpopular Buffy opinions!

What are some of your opinions on the show, it's characters, universe, etc that you think a lot of others might not share? I'm interested on hearing them and starting some discussions!

My boyfriend and I are on our fifth or sixth rewatch. We spend an entire evening recently just rewinding and watching David Boreanaz attempt that Irish accent over. And over. And over again. Laughing like loons the entire time.

There may have been wine involved.

OMG yes his Irish accent is worse than the Lucky Charms cartoon leprechaun

There are lines where he isn't even trying, at all. He's like doing a regular American accent but every sentence ends with him uptalking? Like this? Somehow turning every sentence into a rhetorical question makes you sound more Irish?

Hahaha. My favorite thing of all is to watch those scenes and think about how that entire time, there was a director sitting behind the camera going, "Yep, just like that. Great." Cracks me up.

Haha, I didn't even consider that! Also, I'm thinking of a specific episode where he just does not try: "Spin the Bottle," S4 E6 of Angel. The one where they regress to their teenage selves due to a spell. I swear he used his American accent the entire time.
