Bad Buffy instincts: Angel; Parker; Maggie Walsh; Completely unforgiving to Faith. Not hard to see why all of these sit in her blind spots. She's got personal issues and they can distort her vision.
The scooby dynamic is really complex and interesting. Lots of real good on both sides; lots of real dark on both sides; lots of jockeying for position. It's really amazingly well done, and a shame that most people who like the Scoobies just like the 'they're such good friends' version. The achievement is that they are friends who love each other and hate each other and resent each other and save each other..... I don't want to say just like in real life, but at least a few steps closer to being a real mirror of the complexity of human relationships than most TV even thinks about doing.
