- Moments ~ There are so many moments I love the most memorable for me is when he's holding Fred at the in of A Hole in the World
- Quotes ~ "Kill them all!"
- Episodes or scenes ~ When he sneaked a from Fred when she was with Gunn. It was hot. When he died it shouldn't of happened. When he and Cordy mock Angel and Buffy of course. I love all the scene in season one when he gets all weepy. Lol.
- What do you like most about Wesley? ~ The thing I love most about Wesley is that he had that leadership role after Angel left them. Angel really was just a name. I still think Wesley was a better leader.

I love the Wesley moments when he turns into "Dark Wesley" or whatever you can call it. For example, when he shoots the doctor and in Season 1, when he hurts the poker playing jerk in The Ring so he can find Angel, and a few other moments. I really appreciate that he's one of the few character's on the show, that when they get in kickass mood, they don't try to sound whitty, like Buffy and Angel often do.
"Is there something you have to tell me Charles" might be the coolest line in the whole show.
I love how complex he is, and if I wasn't so in love with Spike, Wesley would definitly be the character I had the biggest crush on. He has so many layers, and he grew so much incredibly much during both shows. He's a geek, a leader, a goofball, a friends, a warrior and a hero at the same time. Definitly who I would want on my side in a apocalypse-situation, both to lead, protect and make the hard choices. I would also not mind hanging out with him as a friend, but I'm not sure what we would talk about.
In short, he's awesome. I don't get why people are mad at him for trying to save Connor at all costs, including having to make sure no one knew about the propechy (I always assumed he was planning to get Connor to safety and then try to solve the situation, since telling Fred and the others might have lead to Angel finding out, and if he had been evil, that would have been very bad). I also don't get why they people think he's too cold in season 4. He gave more than he got, and considering he lost all his friends and potential girlfriend and caused a baby to go to hell, I think season 4 Wesley is surprisingly compassionate. I'm not saying he was in a good place, but I get why he was there, and I think with time, he would have healed on his own, without Angel's mind-fuck.

Yay for Wesley appreciation month! I have a soft-spot for Wesley when he was a giant spaz, but then I also love him later on when he became a much more confident, self-assured bad ass. I love, though the despite all that he had grown and matured as a person, there were those rare moments when you could still catch a glimpse of Wes's inner spaz, which I always get a kick out of seeing. It shows that despite all his character progression, he hasn't changed so drastically that we no longer recognize him; which I find oddly comforting in a weird sort of way. In short, I really love all the facets of Wesley's character. He is the hallmark of a well developed and multilayered character. |

As far as character developments go, Wesley's arc was my favorite, even more than Faith's arc. I loved watching him as the dopey and naive watcher and becoming a man who could capably lead Team Angel and having it be okay. It's pretty awesome to watch!

The most inspiring, interesting and adorable character ever created. I can't think of any other fictional character to ever have such an impact on my life and very few actual people that did.
Alexis' skills as an actor is part of why Wesley was such a good character, but I adore him from tip to toe.
Favorite moment:
'I've been unreasonable, because I've lost all reason.'
Favorite scene:
Him dying in Illyria's arms and the scene in 'Spin the Bottle': 'I had my throat cut and all my friends abandon me.'

Wow. I don't visit this area of the forum much so totally and completely missed this . o.O
Anyway, I actually really like old Wesley. His character development from Buffy season three to Angel season five is sort of jaw dropping. I don't have a single favorite moments, but I always liked the chummy scenes he had with Gunn.
