Why are the show threads sitting empty? So much to discuss in the universe!

Hands down, season 2 for me. It just had everything - funny, sad, angst, etc... Season 3 is a very close runner-up though.

I'd have to say that Season 5 was my favorite. I loved the finale of that season! I liked the whole thing with Gloria and Dawn as well.

That always amazes me how much some people love the Dawn storyline. I think the whole "key/god" concept was brilliant but as a character, I HATED Dawn. I just never enjoy watching whiny/bratty characters (like Becky on Roseanne).
Season 5 had some bright spots for sure though. Buffy vs. Dracula is one of the the most hilarious episodes. I love it. And the finale was good. The Body, Forever - both excellent. Didn't care for the whole Buffybot thing really.

BTW, I totally don't mean that to disrespect your opinion - just expressing my own.

Okay, I know this was posted a WAY long time ago, but I always like to discuss Dawn. I liked her character a lot. Reason being was because the relationship between her and Buffy REALLY reminds me of myself and my little sister. Little sisters are a TOTAL pain in the ass, especially at that age she was in that season, so I always thought her character was very well done. Plus, I think Michelle did a great job in that role. It can't be easy being that annoying!!!

She did do a great job with the character and it was very realistic.
