I was a faithful BtVS watcher until they used the cheesy plot device of bringing in the unknown sibling. I boycotted most of Dawn's first season for that reason only. Then I gave it another look and was hooked again, but hated the Dawn character. Kinda the Wesley Crusher of BtVS ('cept I didn't mind Wes).
This season was pretty crummy, but even when BtVS is pretty crummy, it's better than 95% percent of what's on network television.
I didn't think much of the final episode. Usually, I'm willing to suspend harsh judgement in re: non-logical plot devices. However, what was the point of having the gang being dispatched to guard the exits of the h.s. to stop the uber vamps from escaping? It was a bright, sunny day. They would have been dust.
