Season Towers

The folks over at With Character have a bunch of essays looking at how some of the scoobies handle themselves through each season. Some interesting reading, with varying levels of insight from the different authors. Most focus on the early seasons, but some (Like the Xander essay by  Bastardsnow) go as far as season five.
