I don't think that season 7 is 100% story-driven; I think all characters have great moments interwoven into the plot.
Can't say the same about poor Giles. :) At least now we get a chance to see lovable Giles back. Hopefully. The first arc of S8 also had some good moments, especially between Xander and Buffy, but over all it was too plot-driven for me. I agree that I didn't enjoy Willow in S8 so far... same goes with S7 and S6 Willow. I miss Hacker!Willow.
Liking her - yes. Obsessing, no.
I don't think I'll ever be interested in Faith. Bad girls and bad boys rarely interest me, all they have is their stupid way of talking and smoking and suddenly they're cool. Meh. I've always thought Buffy was more interesting, even in my Hate-Buffy days. :)
I thought we got a good glimpse to Faith's loneliness in #6, loved when she started to blame the wall (that would have been a heartbreaking moment on TV) also loved her thoughts on being rash when she got rid of her only way to contact Giles. And there were much more favorite Faith moments in both issues, I certainly loved her thoughts on her fight with Buffy in S3.
