OK, so for some reason I decided to buy season 1-7 on DVD. I hardly ever buy DVD's any more, but I was lusting for nostalgia. And furthermore, I was wondering whether this was as good as I remembered it being at the time.
Reality = dated, not so funny, badly acted nonsense. But something keeps me watching still. Maybe I'm just hoping it'll pick up?. I dunno.
i absolutely fucking hated dawn in season five. in season six she grew on me, but i still disliked her. season seven, imo, saw her come into her own. trachtenberg is a marvellous young actress, and seven - with the growth of her from a "child" into a really btvs "teenager" - had the writers feeling obviously more comfortable with her characterisation. i enjoyed her in the final season.
Yeah, I hated her immensely. But I've seen her in other things and reluctantly liked her, so I don't think she's a bad actress. It's just Dawn was an annoying idiot.
i think tara was great. when she spoke less i guess she annoyed me - but i fucking hated season four as a whole anyway. she had a really understated intelligence to her, helped mostly by amber's subtle delivery.
Yeah, I really liked her at the time too. I'll let you know when it reaches that season second time around though.
Still on season 1, and remembering how much I hated Buffy's Mum too.
I initially missed out a few seasons, which ones in particular I'm not absolutely certain of. I think the ones that focussed a great deal on Angel and 'The Key'. I grew increasingly bored of it. So skipped them. Which is what stopped me from watching it in it's entirety. Even though back in those times, there wasn't much worth watching. Actually, that's a lie. There was far more worth while shows than today.
