Is there anyone out there who *does* watch B7 or another show at least partly (and large-part, please) for one of the minor characters, with little interest in the majors?
Well, how are you defining major? Because I think Cally's a major character, so Neil has no excuse. Except for being Neil, of course.
I'm having trouble maintaining any interest in Xena since Joxer died (Joxer being a bit of a cross between Vila and Jarriere). Even though I do like Gabrielle, she's not enough of a reason to watch any more. I watched the teaser tonight, came in here to read the Lyst during the first commercial, and didn't go back. I usually manage to get through an ep with Ares, and I adore Autolycus, though he hasn't been on in quite some time. And the only ep of Xena I actually have on tape I kept for a character who only shows up once in the series - Joxer's brother Jase. So there's one that fits your criteria. You could on a certain level say that the characters that I like there are all comedic characters, and perhaps it's because I simply can't take Xena seriously, so I prefer when it doesn't take itself seriously.
Jarriere is of course a _major_ attraction for repeated viewings of Gambit. But then, that probably doesn't count, he's really achieved major-character status now, hasn't he?
I agree that Vila is the second male lead in series C and D (but you knew I would) and the credits bear that out.
