Not at first...

When this season was first airing, I wasn't too thrilled with the storyline, but after watching it again, it was really one of my favorites. Glory was great, and the Dawn story was really creative. I loved the climax of the finale as Buffy jumped to her death...was very emotional. Music score was fantastic.

I really like this season, then again there isn't really a season of Buffy I don't like, but I found Dawn to be a bit annoying. Glory was awesome though! I love the fact that Ben, her male and human self, was the weak one while the very feminine Buffy like girl was the strong one and could beat Buffy up and talk to her while she was doing it. Sorry my feminist self coming out there, but Glory made me smile.

This was also the peak of most of the relationships. Anya/Xander, Willow/Tara, etc and each one made me smile. Aside from Dawn being a tad annoying, I thought it was a good season. The ending was beautifully shot and the extremely emotional, one of the times the series made me cry.

I hated 'the Gift'. Melodramatic rubbish.

The neding of Season 5 made me a fan for real. It's not many shows who let the main character die. So I was like JOSS IS A GENIOUS!
