I really do feel that Series 5 was quite a let down. I wasnt and never have been keen on "whiny" Dawn, and all folks seemed to do was cry, cry, cry, then die!

Series 5 not the best :cry:
 
Not my favourite season but this didn't bother me too much, though Dawn got annoying at times i still liked her. But i understand where you are coming from, i personally enjoyed this season, but again not my favourite!
 
S5 is my least fave season, but it has got nothing to do with *whiny* Dawn or people crying a lot...in fact, i can't even tell you why it's my least fave...personally, i love a lot about it. Spike's love for Buffy started in this season, so that made me happy!! i loved Dawn's intro, and i was glad when Riley left (didn't really like him much) Joyce's death was sad, and 'Family' and 'Fool for Love' are two of my fave episodes...but there's just something about the season as a whole that just doesn't click with me...but it's still ten times better than anything else on TV!!
 
I really like season 5, actually it's my second favorite only to season two... I don't know it had the best arc i guess, and I actually like Dawn.
 
I think they just started to dull down in this series, there wasnt really as much going on. I thought the whole Spike loves Buffy scenario was only to compete with the Angel/ Riley love she had/ still has. Why couldnt Buffy not have a love interest for while?

Season 5, not the best! Id prob say Season 3 is one of the better seasons!
 
Yeah, season five isn't my favorite, but I don't know why, exactly. I think it might be because this is the season where I really noticed Buffy starting to get all "woe is me" and depressed constantly. But I LOVE Dawn! She's one of my very favorite characters! 🙂
 
I can see where Buffy was all depressed, seeing as Joyce died and all. But every episode seemed to have Dawn or Buffy crying and being all "im moody". It was quite a depressing season i must say!
 
Well, that's a "plus" of Dawn. She was a weepy character at that moment and had slight self-confidence issues, which tragicaly increased season by season. I always expected slayer's sister to be strong and all so that was a major disappointment for me.
 
I agree with that. Season 5 was very much a "Dawn weeping" season, and this let the show down, although Glory was ok, with her attitude. But Dawn really did let it down for me!
 
I never really liked Season Five, either. There were certain episodes that I loved (The Gift and Fool for Love, for example) but, that was about it. The basic storyline I didn’t love. It seemed, again, too whiny and Spike just made me mad all season. They went really out of character, so to say, with him.

I know how selfish of her to feel like that....i mean it was only a Brain Tumour Joyce and you only died from it...get a grip.
Ohh, and yeah, the guy she loved was getting off with vampires, then subsquiently left her.
Her sister isnt actually her sister, but infact the possible destruction of this universe.
And she has to fight a GOD.

What the hell did she have to go all woe is me about!!!!

Actually to me season 5 is one of the better Buffy seasons. I found the way Dawn was introduced rather intriguing and very original. I liked her character a great deal and think her struggling was understandable.

Taras full integration into the group and her relationship with Willow are adorable and made that season another highlight to watch. Riley left, which isn't a bad thing alltogether (although the character grew on me I have to admit). Buffy traumatized through her mothers death and seeing Dawn in danger from Glory gave her fight a new and deeper motivation, which I found made her more likeable in this season.

The Body, Fool For Love and The Gift are my fav episodes in that season. I wished they finished the series after that.

I'm not saying she didn't have any reason to be depressed about her life, I'm just saying that I didn't enjoy watching it. Seasons 5, 6, and 7 of Buffy had a more serious, depressing feel to them than the previous ones, so I didn't like them as much. It's just my opinion of her, she was annoying. Some people think Dawn was annoying, but for me it was Buffy.

Buffy was not annoying. As some people tend to believe or see it. I think Spike, Anya, Dawn and Giles were annoying.
 
I agree with THE BLUE all except for Giles and Anya, Spike was a tradgedy as always and Dawn just sooked too much throughout the season. Giles got a bit annoying in season 6 and especially 7 but he wasn't as bad in season 6. Anya never annoyed me i loved her character. The season was overall really good I thought, the group came together again after s4 (which was a disgrace) and the scoobies had a family feel. AND GLORY! she rocked, she was the best baddy ever except for Faith and evil Cordelia but overall I give it 4 and a half stars.

I agree. I think Buffy could be very annoying (although, she was sometimes in the earlier seasons as well).. And the three last seasons were more depressing.. actually the show got a bit more depressing each year in my opinion.. But being a fan of depressing stuff (well, BtVS-depressing, not Lilja 4-ever or Dancer in the Dark depressing), I love these seasons. They are very good in my opinion. I even love the fact that Buffy can be so annoying.. it fits in the show in my opinion, heh..
