This is great! You know how much I love Ron, and though I've just started watching A:tLA, I have ~thoughs on Sokka. He reminds me a whole lot of Xander, except that I don't hate him because he grew more in ONE EPISODE (the one where the kick-ass girl teaches him to fight and he gets all dressed up in the makeup with the fan?) than Xander does in SEVEN SEASONS. I think he's going to continue to become awesome, and so I can like him.

I started out loving them but it waned over the seasons.

I can see this.

Mmmm…maybe a big part of what kept me liking them was Buffy always loving them? :p From the start, I saw them through Buffy-colored glasses.

I can definitely see this. I acquired those glasses later, so I understand that she loves them, but I wish she wouldn't let them treat her the way she does. *loves on Buffy*
