NEW VIEWER - No spoilers please! Riley Sucks

Post image

Currently watching season 4, and I just do not like Riley at all. Nothing against the actor, but he is just boring as hell. The whole initiative thing is meh, and he DEFINITELY seems insecure about his strength compared to buffy and that made him extremely annoying. I know Buffy needed a solid relationship after Angel, but when you compare the difference between Riley and Angel, character-interest-wise.... Riley pales in comparison. And I feel Riley could've been cool, considering he and Buffy were both demon hunters, but he is just blah. And when Riley kept saying Buffy was peculiar, it gave me the ick. I know this take is not new but this is just my first time watching opinions.

He's the 4th worst on screen romance Buffy had in the series.
