I like Giles because he was so supportive and caring towards Buffy, and the father figure that she needed

I dislike Giles because he did let Buffy down in season 6 to just take off in the way that he did, and he never really acknowledged that

Favourite season for Giles would probably be season 4, it was interesting seeing him try and adjust to no longer being the librarian and official watcher

Favourite Giles episode would be A New Man

Maybe his joke about American football in Some Assembley Required lol

Favourite Giles outfit would probably be when he started wearing sweaters in season 4, it was nice to see him out of tweed. Ooh though I did also like his more formal outfit in Tabula Rasa

I don't really have an OTP for Giles, I have unpopular opinions on him and Jenny

My Brotp for Giles was Ethan, it was a shame that he just disappeared after season 4

Unpopular opinion would be that I didn't care for Giles/Jenny. I know it was supposed to be an adorable opposites attract dynamic with the young hip teacher teasing the old fuddy-duddy, but I thought that Jenny was actually pretty rude and dismissive at times. Like when she makes out that she ruined a first edition of his book, then jokes that she was just trying to see him squirm, or when she says that he's like something from a previous century because he likes books more than computers. I felt like a lot of those little put-downs disguised as flirtation would only have made Giles feel even more out of a place and a relic from another age, and I dunno something about them just rubbed me the wrong way.

And it's hard to think of a wish for a show that's over, but I guess I hope that he does eventually manage to find someone and starts feeling like he has a life

I never want Giles to do anything to betray Buffy again, Helpless was enough for me

that I didn't care for Giles/Jenny

+1 I didn't care for Jenny at all, honestly. I don't know if it was the actress or what, but I never warmed up to her.

Jenny is another character that I've noticed is pretty adored by the younger tumblr fandom, but yeah her character never got all that much depth that I counted her as a favourite, and something about her interaction with Giles always rubbed me the wrong way. Most of their flirtation consisted of Jenny acting oh so superior to his old and out of touch ways, which yeah okay

The cynic in me can't help but think it's because she died and thus deserved so much better. All the dead female characters get a lot of support on there. Cordy, Kendra, Jenny, Tara...

Favourite Giles episode would be A New Man

Same, I think, and I really like his dynamic with Ethan in all the episodes they have together (though Giles would probably object to that being characterized as a BroTP, heh).

I do like Giles/Jenny, though -- but I can see your points about why you don't.

Hear, hear! I just recently rewatched tha tepisode, and... ouch. :(

Giles/Jenny is a pretty popular ship, but yeah I dunno, I found Jenny a bit too smug around Giles I suppose. I know that she did genuinally like him, but Giles would get so incredibly flustered and nervous around her that I couldn't really picture them together, it just seemed like he was walking on eggshells around her all the time
