I never had any problem at all with Buffy, and her pre-S5 difficulties certainly touched me. See, pre-S4, I was all about Willow identification. Then Willow went away in S4 and I was lost and drifting. But then in S5 I started really feeling Buffy. I identify with Anya, but Buffy now...she's like my daughter or something. I would kill for that girl.
Cordy amused me on BtVS and on AtS until sometime during S2. I remember about halfway through S2, my husband and I had a discussion about how much we were beginning to hate her. All bitch, all criticism, all the time. Okay, that's fine when everyone around her rolls their eyes at her and dismisses her. But *god*, Angel, Wes and Gunn all took her so damn seriously. Like, treating her like a legitimate, valid human, and all she's doing is slamming them constantly. And frankly, she'd stopped being hot enough to get away with that. The only reason a bunch of guys would've put up with that crap would be if she was still so hot that they each really wanted to sleep with her. And she was losing it at that point.

I'm so glad she's gone. =)
