Nooooooo! Ben Edlund (and Robbie Thompson) is my favourite SPN writer, why couldn't it have been Adam Glass instead :/ The writers of Mannequin 3: The Reckoning is NOT a fair trade
And The 8 Worst Characters On Television
What makes a character the “worst” isn’t necessarily their amoral actions or behavior (some of our favorite characters walk a very thin line between good and evil). They could be the most self-righteous and moral character ever, but still annoy the ever-living shit out of us. Worst characters are those whose screentime we want depleted immediately because they’re just so unlikable, despite the writers best attempts at getting us to root for them.
The only character I'm familiar with from that list is Chuck Bass, and he should be #1 in my eyes. Who else would you nominate for your worst character? At the ONTD discussion post Xander Harris got quite a few nominations lol
ETA Gah has anyone got a recommendation for a good spyware removal program? My comp suddenly seems to be riddled with pop-ups and weird links,and everything is running so slowly

Annoying, pointless, took up way too much screentime, was actually supposed to be a sympathetic revolutionary Christlike figure. Instead, he was self-righteous, cheesy, sang way too much, was responsible for the worst sex scene I've ever seen on TV, and derailed another character that I was just beginning to like. Oh, and he had Fabio hair.
Spoilers for a show that's been off the air for a very long time: I don't think I've ever cheered so hard for a character to die as I did when he finally blew up.

Date: 2013-06-02 02:31 pm (UTC)Yeah it's generally characters that are presented as sympathetic or rootable who annoy me more, rather than someone where the writers clearly understand that he or she is being presented in villain mode. I used to really like Chuck's character even because I found him entertaining in the first season especially, but then the writers started piling on his manpain and encouraging us to see Chuck and Blair as some epic romantic endgame, at the same time as Chuck was physically lashing out around her and saying that "you're mine"
