That's what I like about snickfic: she gives people the benefit of the doubt. I try to do the same, but when it comes to Hollywood I'm cynical. So let's go wit hthe whole "they get along" thing.
One of my problems with him feminism-wise is that he always seems to have to have a character who gets buy on the fact that (how did he put it about Kaylee?) when she smiles, everything's okay. Willow, Fred, Kaylee, Mellie--he seems to expect us to love him the way he does just because they're adorable and vulnerable.
I remember someone saying something about how they don't like Willow because Joss so clearly expects them to, and I totally understand that.
Of course, I actually did like Mellie, but I think that's because Miracle Laurie's just really good than anything else.
But give me Buffy (who most people think is bitchy) or Lilah (evil as she is) or Zoe (the most capable person ever!) or Adelle any day.
Which is not to say that I don't like sweet--Annie from Being Human is one of my favorite characters ever--I just don't like when sweetness is the reason we're supposed to like a character.
