OK, so most of you aren't likely to care, but this post has bugged me ever since I wrote it. This is not because I've changed my mind about Season 7 or Andrew, but because my assertion that Andrew was the funniest thing on Buffy the Vampire Slayer is only sort of accurate. He's brilliantly funny, no question. But I'm picking him out as "funniest" because I think the other clear candidate for that title - Emma Caulfield's Anya - did wonderful work that was both funny and deeply moving (just think of her in "The Body" for instance - I broke into tears). On the whole she may have even greater comedic talents than Tom Lenk (wow!). But it's hard for me to think of her as just comic relief, and while Andrew had his deep, serious moments too (he's great at the end of "Storyteller") - that's more often what he was. As Anya, Emma Caulfield was brilliant at everything she did (even dancing).
