Dawn Versus Connor

[Primal Slayer]

I didnt like Dawn that much in S5 due to her little sister syndrom of being the annoying one. But later on down the road I grew to like her more and loved her in S7.

Conner on the other hand, I never really liked him. His entire attitude was annoying to me. And well I was never that big of a fan of Angel having a baby.

I voted "I like both", even though it's more love Dawn, like Connor. Didn't like Dawn at all when I first watched S5, but that was more because of the "WTF they're doing to my show? where does that kid come from?" than because of Dawn as a person. I find her cute, even in her peskyness.

And Connor... well, I can relate to his lostness. Childhood/teen years in hell, abuse and manipulation, hatred for a parent - I've been there too, minus the metaphores, so the boy gets to me. And I've been stuck in the situation for many years - Connor got it all magically sorted out for him in a wee bit more than one year, which is pretty fast IMO, and the thought of him being so lost and dead-ended that a magical "reboot" of his past life is the only way out for him rings a bell for me too. Hmm... perhaps you've gotta be as desperate as Connor himself to like him?

Dawn isnt nearly as bad as Connor

Connor gets so easily manipulated by the big bads, that what annoys me!!!!

no surprises here - i voted for 'Love, love, love em both. Dawn and Connor should meet, mate, and have babies.' I've been a Dawner shipper for a while now🙂...

but seriously, I have grown to love Dawn over my many re-viewings of the show. And Connor, is pretty much the same. I though he was lovely in Origin, when he came back into Angel's life after the mind wipe - he was a mature, caring, morally upright and he had a sense of humor, something which he totally lacked before, probably due to a childhood spent in a hell dimension. Plus he totally rocks in the comics.

Wow I'm the lonely number 1 up there who, likes Connor but not Dawn 😉
This isn't completely accurate because she's grown on me.. and I like her in episodes like Crush ..Him etc. But for most of her screen time she just annoyed me, or I was wondering why she was there. Generally speaking any new character has to walk a fine line to impress me anyway. Not sure why Connor made the cut, even when he was being a little *insert bad name*... could be that he's cute, or mostly he just seemed to have so much going in within himself.. like depth and his own story. Where as Dawn is or was just Buffy's sister.

I don't really mind Dawn. She was okay, at least in season 7. Disliked her ineptitude in the first 5-6. She was a bad young girl stereotype at times, no inner power. But like I said, that changed somewhat with season 7. Season 5-6 she was a bad character used in a good way. Season 7 she became a kinda interesting character.

Connor on the other hand...well I don't really mind him either. What I do mind is the way he was used. The plotline of him siring Jasmine seriously turned me off. The character in himself had some good potential and I liked the story of his creation. A good character destroyed by they way TPTB used him.

So put me down in the indifferent category -- or well seeing how there isn't one, I'll just pass on voting.
