Pegs is a little annoying too...but she grows on you.
You can add Scratch on to my list. After what her and her brother were going to do to Lizzy, I don't think I'll ever like them. Great characters though.Quote:

I've just finished season 2. (point of reference...maybe he gets better)
Every time I hear Angel say ANYTHING, it sounds like whining, bitching, complaining, and general overall uselessness. He has 2 modes:
1) Generic Raised Voice #1. Given minimal scene context, every time he starts raising his voice/yelling, I can't tell if he is having an argument with his boyfriend or if there is supposed to be some life threatening zombie style emergency. A bullet would take care of this (or a nice bite/scratch from the zombies).
2) I'M USELESS SO PLEASE KILL ME NOW Comments. This is everything else he ever says. Along these lines, he argues when then is no need. He acts exasperated at the drop of a hat and for just about any/no reason. He constantly sounds like a drama queen. He can't lead. A bullet would also take care of this.
To be honest, his character hasn't changed much since Season 1, Episode 1. He was useless then, he is useless now. For the love of the Gods of Storytelling......please kill him now.
Datu:
Can we line up Datu as well? If he isn't "OH NOES WE ALL GONNA DIE!", he is "OH NOES I CAN'T POSSIBLY FIX THAT!" Perhaps finishing night school would have helped. Maybe a few brochures from the student center about happiness and well being. Maybe a hug. As it stands, we are stuck with an extremely negative and pessimistic character than unfortunately also had children. It's too late to wish he was a slow runner but perhaps his children are. We can hope he trips?
As of 6/11: Listened to more Datu. Please please please kill him soon. He rivals Angel for 'whiny' factor.
Final Note:
Most might ask, "Why not Pegs?" OR "Kelly? Why NOT HER!?!?". They grew. First season you want them dead for being useless and not quite 'on board' with surviving in any sort of practical fashion. However, they develop and become not only useful, but somehow less annoying over time.
That being said, I do enjoy the show and most of the characters.
Season 3.....here I come.
Well fuck.
So I'm on Chapter 20, and a lot of people might object, but I just absolutely can not stand Scratch. I have seen a few posts about how she evolves going forward, but I just don't think I'll ever really care. The character is an absolutely foul human being, which isn't a knock at the writing since she's a villain she's probably meant to come across that way, who for all I know could turn against the Mallers and save the damn world and I'd still dislike her for the horrible human being that she is.
Then her voice actress... Let me just start by saying I have respect for all the people that voice act for this great story, including her, but I feel like she tries way too hard for a lot of the lines. Especially when she screams, which she does about every other line, its so obnoxious I cringe every time. Her voice acting is absolutely fine when she's talking normal or she gets into her creepy whispering-threat voice, but when she screams... I don't know.
That's about the only one that I hate. Pegs makes me roll my eyes a lot, but I don't hate her at all.
I thought the screaming was over the top at first, till I realized that I know somebody just like her. I'm fine with the actress but I loathe Scratch. She isn't even a character that I love to hate. I just hates myself some Scratch.
Okay, so. Pegs is pissing me off. She can't wait to get into Michael's pants and the moment she has the chance to be safe, but away from him, she bails. Why put him through that?
I hate that I hated Kalani when he was being a dick, and then I got to the point where I liked him, when he was out with Angel kicking Behemoth butt, and then you learn that he was the traitor... Gotta hate him again.
And of course Scratch, I don't think anyone would like this crazy, psychopathic, sadistic bitch. She needs to be put down like a rabid dog. With her confessions of abuse, her speeches on "Family" you start to think that she just may be human... but then she turns back into a raving, murdering bitch within a minute.
I loved the chapter with Angel and Kalani sooooo much.Quote:

That to me shows she just wants to be safe and she was willing to use him to get that safty. To add, Ive already said I dont like scratch but I would be more than willing to be locked in a room with Jenna McCombie for an hour, or so!
Ehh, I just hope that Jenna McCombie is not a method actor, decides to stay in character and proposes to play the knife game with you.Quote:

And to be honest, I just don't see how Michael wants to be with her. He seems like a pretty no-nonsense kind of guy (would have to be to be the leader) so why he puts up with her nonsense is beyond me. He's far better suited for Riley (and/or Angel, but I'll just stick to reading fanfic for that, lol). I'm up to Chapter 25 now and I can deal with Pegs a lot better now that she's suddenly useful (typical trope but at least it keeps my eyes from rolling out of my head when she pops up) but she's still my least favorite thing about an otherwise perfect story.
Lizzy for me, for the simple fact that I had to listen to that same stupid Blue Apron commercial twice per show, every single show. She was kept alive for way too long.
