Where's Robin. Both Robins.
Principal Robin and Minder Robin.
What do you think will happen to Anywhere But Here's Robin?
Joss said she would have a "Critical Role" in season 8.
I'm guessing she will help stop Twilight since she keeps everything magical in check. She does have everything magical in check right?

When did Joss say Robin (the minder) would have a critical part in season eight? I never remember him saying that.
I would like to see more of Robin Wood. I actually enjoyed his character in season seven, he had a fun sense of humour and an interesting back story. He also created a different dynamic in the Scoobies, having another strong male character was a worth while addition. He had interesting relationships with Faith, Giles and Buffy. He needs to be in season eight more because there are great stories that can be told with Faith, Giles and him. I assume he is with his Slayer team in Cleveland.
We need a Faith/Giles/Robin spinoff!

I agree with Mikey , he wa sjut a useless character.
Hmm maybe Robin will do more than hlp Willow, mybe she holds the Key to an untold solution that will prove of great assistance to the Scoobie's cause

Principal Woods only use now would be to go out in battle. His death would be a good opening to another story. I don't want anymore time devoted to him, unless he is in the background as a supporting character.

I loved Principal Wood!! He had heart, and totally scored with Faith!
I want to see more of him, he seemed to me like a very real character.

I think Robin Wood should come back but in minor roles. I wouldn't be upset if he died, but he did have any interesting background. Some... we'll see. |

I like Wood but his story was done before season 7 ended.

Hey, I had nothing against Wood. He seemed reasonably interesting, and there wasn't a really huge amount of time devoted to him.

I'd agree with you that he put her trust back in guys after Chosen, but we see in No Future For You that that really isn't the case. She even stabbed Giles with a fork when he touched her arm. I would not be sorry to see more Robin, but I think he would fit in more with the Angel crowd... He's more of a fighter than a Watcher. |

I didn't mind Principal Wood in season 7. I even liked the whole story about his mother back in NYC. It brought some interesting insight into the slayers' line.

"Upon reading the winner's entry, Whedon decided to expand that character's role and feature her as a critical part of the story, as opposed to a simple cameo." I took that to mean her role in that issue. Not that I'd be against seeing her as a returning character, but as it went, her role was considerably fleshed out more than a simple cameo, which in comics could mean a single panel of space. So, I'm not holding my breath for this one. Would be a pleasant surprise if she came back, but wouldn't there be lots of legal logistics and such to work out, including oh I don't know... negotiations about payment? |

Payments to whom? The Balzers?

I would guess, yes. The first time was a treat... they were the winners of the contest, and I was happy for them.
But to reuse the character... I'm guessing there's going to be payment.
But hey, tangent.

Robin Wood? Yeah... currently stuck in Cleveland. Or somewhere there-ish I think. Makes sense to start a base where the other Hellmouth is.

I agree with wenxina that the description of Robin (B.) sounds like it's talking more about her role in that one issue, than her role in the overall season. And I liked Robin (W.), and thought he was good for Faith for that brief period , to help her work thru some stuff. I'd like to see him back (S8 is seriously hurting for male characters right now)... just not back with Faith.  |

Aww come on! No love for the son of a slayer? That was a cool twist into the story. I mean, a lot of people on this forum have been talking about the idea of Buffy getting pregnant and that representing the "Prince". If Buffy had a son everyone would be drooling over him....
I get taken back when people call characters useless. USELESS? If I'm not mistaken it was Robin who helped Spike realize what the trigger was so he could no longer be a sleeper cell for The First. He represented every person who Spike had hurt along the way as an evil vampire. That whole episode with him trying to kill Spike was one of my favorite in S7. That doesn't sound useless to me. I say bring him back into the mix with the next Faith arch. Maybe one day he and Faith will have a kid. The son of a Slayer as a Father & an actual Slayer for a mom.... Mommy Faith!
