I think I was a little harsh on early Buffy here, I don't she was ditzy in a particularly pejorative way (in which case I probably shouldn't have followed the word ditzy with the word bitch) more quirky and fun and well youthful. And yes the good stuff is there right from the beginning, as it was in Cordelia. One reason I really love that speech to Joyce in Becoming is that out of context it can read as whiny but in context and hearing it acted it's tragic and honest and brave.
