I never really liked that guy. ("Book," was it?) He seemed more of a "token religious person" used to appease viewers who thought Joss Whedon was a vitriolic atheist in the vein of Richard Dawkins or Christopher Hitchens. He never came across as a recognizable, sympathetic flesh-and-blood human being...not to me, at any rate.
Wow, really?!?
I always liked him. I felt he represented the best of what a preacher is supposed to be: sage, open-minded, forgiving, tolerant, and, above all, kind.
When they killed him off in the movie I cried.
I suppose it's like anything else, different people see, hear, read and feel different things even when they are processing the same picture, song, book, movie, etc...
