Xander Harris

Buffy the Vampire Slayer is the brain child of Mr Joss Wedon.  This blog is in no way associated with the man, but my own musings.  All footage, quotes and stills belong to him.
Xander Harris, season 1, episode 1: Welcome to the Hellmouth
Xander Harris; friend confidant and all round good guy.  He is man with witty come-backs.  He is loyal, loving and attracts demons!  He is best friend to Willow and Buffy.  He hates Angel and Spike.  He has a love/hate relationship with Cordelia Chase.  He is a very good friend.  Lets break this down.  He is loyal however, he did cheated on Cordelia with Willow and he stood Anya up at the alter.  He is the man who sees everything.  What Caleb does to him at the Vine-yard still makes me wince when I watch it.  He saved the world with talking!  How many people can say that?  He loved Buffy a lot!  And then just loved her.  He is brave.  "I laugh in the face of danger...and then I hide until it goes away." I know he says this.  I still say he's brave.  From the very first episode, when he wants to help find Jesse, his best bud at the time until he actually saves the world from Evil Willow, I call him brave.  He was brave when he ended with with Anya.  He was the one who knew it wouldn't work and was brave enough to say it out loud.  (Unforgivable with the timing...) He stands up to Buffy a lot.  About Angel, about Riley and about Spike.  He got a job at the Uni pub so he could look out for his friends.  He was ridiculed about his 'status' which would make most people run and hide.  He did not.  He stayed to help his friend.  This is not the end of Xander speak...
