And I will never, ever watch a Whedon show or film again, for the evil things he does to his characters. Never.

Hah, yes. I also sometimes wish I'd stopped watching his shows after Angel :D

I fell in love with him in the first five minutes of "meeting" him on screen.

He is just fantastic. Giles was my original favourite character, and it was really because of him in "The Wish" that I became a fan of the show instead of just a casual watcher.
