Did you think Dawn kind of ruined Buffy the Vampire Slayer?
After Season Four, I felt like the quality of the show dropped quite significantly. I still love the show, but Seasons 1 to 4 just seem to be so much more enjoyable compared to Season Five onwards. I seems like the moment they introduced Dawn's character, things started going downhill. I honestly can't stand Dawn. Every scene she's in makes me grind my teeth and want to skip through the scene; unfortunately, she's in pretty much every scene in Season 5 onwards.
She's just so whiny and bratty, and after Season Five, her character just seems completely pointless. I liked her more in season Seven because she finally stopped being such an obnoxious brat and grew up a bit, but then she just seemed like a younger, less mature version of Buffy, rather than her own individual character. I don't think I would've minded her so much, if she hadn't been so irritating and whingey, and throwing temper tantrums like a five year old all the time in Seasons 5 and 6.
Does anyone else feel this way?

I hate Dawn too. In the episode where she overheard that she's the key and Joyce and Buffy try to talk to her and she screams "Get out get out GET OUT!" I want to punch her in her stupid little face.
However, to say that season six was not one of the BEST seasons of Buffy is absolute CRAZY TALK!
Those latter seasons have amazing episodes. Off the top of my head: The Body, Once More With Feeling, Tabula Rasa, Conversations With Dead People, Showtime, The series finale!!!!! And Dawn starts to not suck so much towards the end of s6. I mean, so say she "ruined" the show is kind of an overstatement. She sucks, but the show was still great. Just my opinion.

In my opinion yes. I never did like her character much although she did get less annoying in season 7. I hated her in Season 5. She ruined the dynamic of the show and instead of Buffy concentrating on what she needed to do she had to take care of a bratty little sister. To me Dawn ruined her life. I know others do not see it that way, but that is just my opinion.

Yes, i agree she did ruin it a bit. its funny mentioned how whiny she was, i actually saw an interview where Michelle Tractenberg said she hated being so whiny. She said she was really happy to get to play more grown up in season 7. LOL so i guess even the actress didn't like the character. I think the last couple seasons would have been better without her.
