Welcome to Gaia! ::

Simple, really. Did you like Buffy better before or after Dawn came in? Buffy alone or protecting younger sister? Did it make it possible/easier for Joyce to...well, I won't spoil it.

Discuss.

I personally liked it before Dawn. Dawn's too whiny and Buffy shouldn't be all motherly. But that's me.


Forgive me if this thread has been made already.

I liked them both, but I think I preffered it with just Buffy. It seemed sortof simpler and more fun. With Dawn it just didn't seem real, and Buffy was, as mentioned before all uptight and motherly.

Ya, you're right on the bullet. Dawn was only a tool used to make Buffy more mature and to grow up. She can't stay a kid forever.

I've got to say without. I find Dawn the most annoying character in any TV show ever! 3nodding

I don't dislike her, but I don't really like her either. So I don't really care for her all the much. That's in general. But in some episodes I like her and in other episodes I don't.

And you're no better than Dawn for being all whiny about her. She was supposed to be annoying at first, but she got better as time went on. Which is more than I can say for you.

Ok, I guess I need to elaborate on why I don't like Dawn. 3nodding

I do agree that Buffy would have grown more mature without Dawn and so these are my reasons for not liking her all that much. smile

Yes, part of it is her whinyness and just sheer annoyance value. I know that that is a normal part of being a teenager, but she does seem to have more than her fair share. rolleyes And this is a major part of why I dislike the character.

Also she strikes me as an almost useless character who contributes very little to the show - just my opinion. sweatdrop twisted

My main problem with her is how she was introduced into the show. I kind of got the feeling when she was introduced that they were hoping to find a replacement for Buffy as the actress didn't want to carry on. (I could be wrong here - I'm a passive fan not a megafan)

And when the audiences didn't really take to her they left her in but didn't expand on her role like they had planned to.
Again this is just my little crackpot theory! xd
This really annoys me, it makes her a bit of a spare part with no real purpose!

Also, when she was introduced as the key (I could be getting some points wrong - its so long since I watched those eps) I thought that it would have made more sense plot wise for her to no longer have been there as Buffy's sister once the season ended. Buffy doesn't have a sister! I would have enjoyed the story arch more if they had realized that Dawn wasn't Buffy's sister, that she wasn't a real person who had been born in the normal way etc and then she would have gone back to not existing once they defeated the big bad. It just anoys me the way that the writers suddenly introduced a sister after so many seasons!!!
