Reddit Buffy Survey Results

Some things I found surprising and/or cool:

-S3 and S6 are in a dead heat for favorite season! I've never seen S6 rank so high on a large poll.
-Spuffy is one of the top ships, beating out Bangel. Oddly

I think Bargaining won because it's the only premiere (other than WTTH) that works as a real season opener, i.e. that's about the season's main plot, and features a major event that sets it up.

-Spuffy is one of the top ships, beating out Bangel. Oddly, more people picked Angel than Spike as Buffy's "soulmate".

It's because Bangel is always promoted as the "soulmates", "one true love forever" kind of ship in the media, so people will pick Buffy/Angel when asked that question, whether or not they actually like the ship, and whether or not they actually believe in the concept of soulmates.

-"Straight" as the most common word used to describe Willow is kinda weird. (Edit: I found out from bright_ephemera that this was usually in an "I wish she were..." context. As in, the respondents either were male and attracted to her themselves, or they ship her with a male on the show. Makes sense now.)What was the question? I don't see that in the photos, or the dream date one, the ships one or the soulmate one

Well, you could say the same of the S7 opener. But I take your point.

What was the question?

The survey's down now, but IIRC people were just asked to describe their favorite/least favorite characters, and word clouds were generated from the answers.

And what's the photo marked as "brave" about?

That, I don't remember.
