   Nah, Dawn took some time to get used to, but before the end of the fifth   
   season I started to like her.   
   As a stepsister she would not have worked for me.   
   It had to be magic. Otherwise the story would have degenerated into a soap.

   Ann survived that fight! :-)   
      
   The end of season 6 was amazingly good.

   Highly illogical. How would ending Drac end /all/ vampires?   
   And what about Angel and Spike? It would have effectively ended the show   
   'Angel' as well.

   Gals that were very likable. :-)   
      
   Could some things have gone better? Probably.   
   It took 2.5 seasons of Buffy before I started to like Angel.   
      
   Overall I liked how Buffy and Angel the series ended.
