You know what's really annoying me (about myself)? I didn't see that. I mean, you're right. George does some even shittier stuff in season two that I don't excuse him for at all. (And really, I root for Nina to leave him over these things.) But I could have sworn he was abjectly apologetic to Nina in that instance, not just about Tully (the other werewolf), but also because he was an ass.
And this is not the kind of thing that I normally miss. In fact, normally it stands out with the mental equivalent of red blinky lights on it, I notice it that much. But not this time, and I don't know why.
I adore Annie unconditionally. Even when she's making poor choices, they're out of the best of intentions, and they're well-meaning, and she sees the best in people until it's proven otherwise, and incontrovertibly so. Annie is amazing. I like Mitchell quite a lot, as the guy knows he's flawed as hell. Though, well, every now and again, I want to smack him and tell him to grow up.
There are times when I like George, though, and I thought that the awkward was the fact that his characterization hits my embarrassment squick a lot. (Second season does make me cringe. A lot.) But you're right, he's got a case of Nice Guy that's hard to get over.
(I love Xander in the moments he actually acts like a grown-up. But those are few and far-between, because I felt like his characterization often got sidetracked for laughs, or the plot, or sometimes even for no good reason.)
