Who would be the best character from the Buffyverse (aside from Angel) to get a spin off series. My vote goes for Oz!

Probably Faith. She seems to be the most in demand, as she had a lot to make up for, and Eliza Dushku isn't too old yet.
shareI feel like Faith has the most story to tell. Flashbacks of her life pre-Calling and immediately afterwards. Lots of old muck could be stirred up for stories. The whole romance with Robin Wood would be good. I kind of love them together and DB Woodside... woof.
Oz would be awesome IF we got to see how his travels went when he left during season 4. And the journey of balancing his wolf side with his human would be very interesting. However, he is not particularly loquacious so maybe a novel would be better so we can see his thought process? Otherwise to really flesh him out as a main character his personality would need to change at least a little bit.
I wouldn't mind a prequel series showing a young "Ripper" Giles tearing up the world. But that would be better as a one-off. Like, a 10-12 episode arc that culminates with the death of his friend while evoking Eyghon.
A spin-off series of a band of Slayers could be cool, though it would have to be handled by Joss to be done well.
I would have had Oz run into Riley and Graham and join up with them.
shareDefinitely Faith and I would love to see a Faith spinoff now over a remake of Buffy.

Really Faith I think is the only one who could pull it off.
shareYou mean ... NOW ?
I mean I would watch any new Buffyverse content.
At least if it has Joss Whedon in the mix. Otherwise my interest would be more of the morbid kind.
And since she got mentioned in this thread a lot, I dont think Faith would be the worst pick.
But really I would watch a series about the Whistler. Heck, about Willy the Snitch.
Well, I guess a LOT of options are out of question:
- Angel - reallife actor is still busy with Bones
- Spike - reallife actor refuses on the basis of being too old for a non-agig character
- Xander - reallife actor has strong alcohol issues
- Anya - character is really dead
- Ethan Rayne - reallife actor has sadly already died

1. Bones just finished but we'd have to find an excuse to explain why he looks older. Not impossible though.
2. Ditto
3. Nic seems to have sorted himself out and is back on track.
4. Anya no and I don't think Emma would be interested
5. Alas poor Robin
Yes, I'd watch any Buffyverse depictions these days, not necessarily a reboot but just set in the same universe.
As far as Xander goes, Nicholas Brendan has an identical twin brother who both was his stunt double for the show, and replaced him entirely for one episode in season 6, in addition to being the Xander double in the episode where Xander got split in two. If Nic has too many issues, a Xander spin-off could still be pulled off. Other than the name Kelly Donovan in the credits, no one would probably notice the difference.

What episode did he replace him in?
shareIn the end I loved Anya the most but I think they had already went as far as they could go with this world.
Buffy got a better final season than most shows but I wouldn't want to witness the quality sink lower which is why I still haven't read the comics.
I think Faith and Giles are the only ones who could pull it off.
