It's so strange that I never had those thoughts about Faith while watching the series initially - I just thought she kicked ass, I loved her relationship with the Mayor, and every time she and Buffy had to face each other down.
Viewing her as an actual person with needs, however, changes that. I understood Buffy's hesitation to include Faith ("Amends" for example) due to the reasons you suggested, not to mention that Buffy immediately bristled when faced with a differing opinions.
Hah! I love that Faith calls Willow on that too - that instead of cutting and running, she took time to Nancy Drew.
Yes to everything you said about Oz. I've read fic that truly gets him and I can hear the (spare) words on the page as if he were there, but he's truly a character difficult to capture in prose.
Oh, yay to "Mission Impossible"! I really liked it, but I think he's out done himself with "Leave it to Lindsey." Undercutting the action scenes and the Gunn scenes with "The Toy Parade" really added punch, and I think the editing was superb.
