To the poll...

Last week we asked, "If you could have one character join the fang gang, who would it be?" Here are the results...

Willow - 22.8%
Clem - 19.7%
Faith - 19.5%
Buffy - 9.4%
Andrew - 8.7%
Xander - 7.7%
Dawn - 4.3%
Giles - 3.4%
Kennedy - 2.9%
Other (comment) - 1.5%

Total votes: 646

Now that's the type of number I like to see. Willow comes in 1st, with Mr. Floppy Ears in 2nd, and Faith rounds of the top 3. Let's see what you guys had to say...

"Just imagine what would happen is Buffy "the SLAYER" joined the Fang Gang!! :D Awesome I see it already .. Mass destruction!"
- Roxy Winters

"Faith is so awesome. She would shake things up even more and it would be neat to see how she would deal with trying to be good and then working in the evil Mecca of the verse."
- mrsmarsters

"The Xan Man--theres not a lot of work for near widowed semi blind watchers these days. Oh Caleb said "sees"..not "watching"? or did he say "peeping"? Drat."
- Mon Capitan Krenky

"I would like to see Buffy become a vamp and have Faith become the "official" slayer. Buffy always being the 'good' slayer and Faith being the 'bad' slayer dynamic would completely change. Faith has now become the better person and Buffy would be the one doing all the 'evil' villianous things."
- wish

"I voted for Faith because when she came back last season the show got really high ratings and everyone would love to see eliza back on the show!"
- ROSE

"I said Andrew. Faith was great in her guest appearences, but I think it would be a shame to 'domesticate' her by turning her into a permanent member of the gang. Willow was also excellent in her appearences, but bringing her in for more than a few episodes would feel like they're trying to make it "Buffy 2" - which it isn't. Same goes for all of the others except for Andrew and Clem. And in this case Andrew got my vote, 'cause Angel already has a funny, lovable demon..."
- Fat Tony

"Wow, tough choices! I said Faith because she would bring on some kick butt female strength. But Willow would be nice too, either one would give the show a boost with some strong female acting to boot! Plus...what is Gunn and Faith got together...now that just might work! ;)"
- jkirch

"I've said it before and I'll say it again: I LOVE FAITH!! So not surprisingly, my answer is Faith."
- SaxySlayer

"I would LOVE to see Will join the fang gang because I would LOVE to see more pics of her and new her new hubby."
- Chelsea

"Just one? Umm, ok! Willow. I feel her wicthy power would be a great add to the mix. Oh, and you could have her married to Xander- Kennedy will have been killed in a freak vegetable accident- and he could come on board. Yeah, and having Dawnie & Andrew there would bring humor & great chemistry. Then again, what would a Fang Gang be without two slayers? Buffy & Faith....come on down! Though, an older authority figure might be needed. Giles, pack your bags! Also, Clem would make a great buddy for Lorne. Hell, even bring back Jenny's neck & Mr. Gordo. Oh, one more thing. L.A. gets sucked into a hole, Sunnydale somehow rises again, & ALL of them move back to our favorite Hellmouth to fight the good fight. Sound winning?"
- SPIKESMYGOD

"There are so many buffy characters that i would like to see end up guesting on angel. but if i had to pick a character to stick around perminatly i would have to go with a less obvious choice...Dawn...she would be fun...and besides we've never seen her interact with any of the angel characters (besides spike) it would be interesting to see her develop an on screen realtionship with Angel (non-romatic of course) angel needs that father-child dynamic in his life...and Joss could come up with some great stuff as to why Dawn needs to be with the AI team....I am thinking that the KEY could come into effect...some kind of powers or something...maybe she could even get the visions or something...i mean this is the first season of Angel that hasent had someone with that connection with the Powers that Be..."
- melissa

"After meeting James C. Leary at DragonCon, it's got to be Clem. He's great and we definitely need to see our favorite wrinkly skinned demon crop up in the city of angels."
- Michael Hickerson

"Clemmmmmmmm...we need some foldy goodness and my gracious that Lorne is just sooooooo smarmy and show biz--wheres a doodle snarfing flesh fest when ya need one? LA baby....go now and embrace your inner self...wait..he can do THAT already!"
- wretch

"Other = Jonathan! I think most people already know that Jonathan is the one for me! It's okay to be short! He's just too cute. I wanna snuggle him to death. lol."
- Vampire Lady

Note from Matt: Isn't he dead?

"I picked other just on egneral principles since I'm so ticked off with the direction the Jossverse has taken lately so, even tho I'm still following the show with some enjoyment, there's nothing I actually *want* from ME anymore."
- DaddyCatALSO

"I picked Willow. I know Faith would be a kick ass vampire, but I know for a FACT Willow rocked the fanged ones."
- Bufflover

"Willow followed by Clem. They do not have a wiccan and one would be handy since Angel's soul isn't permanent. Plus it would allow her and Alexis to carpool to work. They have a superstrong guy in Angel and Spike, so Faith isn't needed. Willow is the obvious choice, but I have to say I would love to see Clem on there cause he is so cute!"
- Aeryn

"No contest. Xander always has the best lines. Who could ever forget "I'm done being people's butt monkey!""
- Kirsten

"I love Willow...and I would love to see more of her on Angel. I think it would be to cute to see pic's of Alyson and Alexis on set with each other!"
- Mindy

"Faith as a vampire would be sooooo very hot! I would drool over her every second that she was on the screen. Yummy mental pics!!"
- RedHeadedWitch

"I went with Andrew because hes soooo funny! I'm so happy that hes going to be on for episode and maybe just maybe there will be more guest appearances on the show for him."
- milesfrom730

"I'll go with Dawn because I think that Dawn and Conner are ment for each other. It'll never happen but there love will last FOREVER. Well in my fanfiction at least. Hey I can dream cant I? What? I cant? Well god dammit!"
- just anne

Note from Matt: Eww.

That's it for now. I'll be back in the PM with the rant. Later.
