Class Action Lawsuit on behalf of the much undervalued (cough) Xander Harris
Anyone taking this seriously will be beaten.

Whereas:
Xander Harris is a founding member of the Scooby Gang, and
Whereas:
Xander Harris has participated in four (4) years of battling the forces of darkness, and
Whereas:
Xander Harris is heroic, loyal, trustworthy, brave, and tends not to think in matters of the heart, and
Whereas:
Xander Harris's actions in turning down Buffy in BB&B show he is the prototypical nice guy,
It is concluded that Xander Harris is the character that 'normal' guys watching the show identify with.
Whereas:
Angel was the smart, dark, mysterious loner with a 'dark side' and represents the older high-school dropout shmucks who always got all the girls,
It is concluded that Xander Harris was looked over in s1-3 in favor of this dork.
Whereas:
Drake Tungsten is the smart, athletically gifted square-jawed good 'ol boy represtetitve of the football QB,
Whereas:
Steel Rockjaw has come into the Buffy timeline in the last sixth months, and killed 17 'hostiles' with no powers, and
Whereas:
Cleft Strongchin has rapidly been set up as a Buffy love interest,
It is concluded that Xander Harris has been screwed yet again.
Whereas:
Xander Harris has been relegated to the land of the Idiot Plot, forced to date a vengace demon who represents the kind of petty, mundane evil that Xander Harris has frequently refuted with his previous actions and very being, and
Whereas:
The writers have neglected Xander Harris sorely this season, relegating him literally to the basement, and
Whereas:
Xander's mundanely difficult home life has frequently been treated as a punchline, and not as the dramatic oppertunity it is, and
Whereas:
Xander's one special ability has mysteriously vanished from s3 to s4, and
Whereas:
The writers have sorely neglected the oppertunity to develop Xander's military side, and
Whereas:
Xander Harris has not been portrayed as a full and usefull member in the battle against evil, even in his limited capacity.
In conclusion, the writers have missed the oppertunity to depict Xander's full time and wholehearted devotion to the fight against evil as a metaphor for the common non-college bound male to find purpose and validation in the armed forces. Xander Harris has made sacrifice enough on this show to find himself relegated to the sidelines in favor of some Iowa pretty-boy who gets everything handed to him on a silver platter. Even if Biff Biceps has some Angelesque dark secret, it is assumed that Ab Quadracept's past and metaphorical demons will get more dramatic play and screen time than Xanders.
Therefore, I find no other alternative than to file a class-action lawsuit in the name of Xanderistas everywhere, demanding the return of Xander to his rightfull forefront in the ensamble cast of Buffy.
Or 145 million dollars in emotional damages.
Your call.
