Well?
What do you guys think? Death deserver? Or one more chance?
I think she's a wicked cool character. Very fresh.
But I doubt she'd ever get along with Buffy...and now maybe even Faith.
All opinions on Gigi...let's hear em!

Live. I think Faith could be like Angel was to her and help her redeem herself. They would make an interesting duo.

nah i want her to die. That means she ends up doing some evil doings and such to lead to her death. Which I'm all far. Shes a snotty faced spoiled girl and if she thinks Buffy's evil then she cant be all there in the head  |

I think it would be great drama if she was to be killed. She derserves to be punished for everything she's done, if not death, then held in some kind of prison.

i dont understand Genevieve she should be happy buffy has been the slayer for this long because it saved her a short death and first of all she doesnt even know buffy to want to kill her. and i think spying on her was just creepy.

I don't think GiGi is evil, I think she's be misinformed, but then I haven't read the 8th comic yet.

I think that she might be irredeemably evil or she might not be, but she should stick around as an occasionally recurring villain anyway as a kind of archnemesis for Faith.

I just hate her boyish haircut... for that she should die! Kidding Kinda! Her hair style is cute! I think all the blame for her so called "evil" tendencies lies with Roden. It's an example of how much of a negative impact an authority figure can have on someone young and impressionable. I'm really surprised that so many people want her dead! |

Of course she needs to die. She's a threat to EVERYONE. Surely, reason enough for the writers to keep her going? Not that I have any sort of investment in her sticking around; quite the contrary, I find her an offensive stereotype, a poorly-drawn caricature in place of the kind of deep, intruiging characters I've come to expect from both Brian K Vaughan and the Buffyverse. That said, it's interesting that so many people think that Buffy should kill her, because she's a 'bad person'... for killing people... and trying to kill Buffy. Twisted logic, if you ask me, although I'm aware that nobody did. I think this is starting to emerge as one of the key themes of the season; similar to season five of Angel, I think we're going to see a questioning of Buffy's power, and whether it's right or wrong that she gets to make the decisions that change the world. I don't think we'll ever have an answer. MB x |

I'm not sure how shes a offensive stereotype? Shes a snob pure and simple. How can she be a offensive stereotype if a snob acts liek that then it cant be offensive to them. I'm sure all rich kids arnt all snobs but i bet alot are. I don't see how shes a offensive stereotype.
I think she needed to die, she's killed slayers and is trying to kill Buffy and i don't think she's the kinda girl that can be talked to about her 'issues' it looks like its going to turn out to be a kill or be killed and I'm rooting for Faith to kill her.

I don't see how shes a offensive stereotype. As an English person - outside of Giles and Spike, and even they had their moments - everytime I see English people depicted in the Buffyverse a little piece of me dies. Let's not even get into Leah's Scottish accent, we could be here all week. I find the idea that Buffy should kill Gigi a very black and white way of seeing the world, not to mention hypocritical; if Faith kills her, it will be even worse. That way lies poor storytelling, if it's not dealt with accordingly. I think - hope - that this is something that's going to be addressed in the comics; Buffy was told she was at war with humanity at the end of the first arc. She seems to be 'oh... kay' with it. If Buffy is the Warrior of the People, there seems to be something very wrong with that. MB x |

As a English person myself i don't find anything wrong with how they are shown in the comic or the show. Giles is a proper English man who has been brought up that way maybe not all his life but since the council, Spike is like mega old so he is bound to have picked up some of that old proper English. I think how they are showing Gigi is pretty much right. If you have been brought up in a rich family who see the world how it was back in the day where theres non of this common crap where all talking now then you would sound like her and it all so helps if your spoiled. I don't think it would be bad if Faith kills Gigi for one Gigi isn't 100% human since she is a slayer and they have part demon in them and all. Shes out killing slayers and it looks the only way to stop her is to kill her so why not? If they could talk her off doing all the killing and such then I'm sure they would have done it. We didn't really see much of Buffy in that arc to tell how she is taking the whole her against the world thing so i don't think we can comment really about that yet. |

I don't find Genevieve a one dimensional character either. Or a cheap stereotype. When we first saw her and she killed that Slayer she was genuinely upset by it. That appeared to be the first person she killed, first and last really. She isn't an intrinsically evil person, just mislead. |

She's about as deep as a lot of other Buffy villains, and she's only been around for what amounts to about one episode.

TBH I kinda feel sorry for Genevieve. I mean she is defo a Faith no.2 in that she just wanted to get along with someone and for someone to accept her, which Faith did. I can see that she is very emotional at the end of this issue, not just because Faith lied to her, but because she was the only person she could connect to. Cannot wait to see how her Anger (?) will be played out.
