Well Dawn made the list...

21 Most Annoying TV Characters Ever


I never got what people found annoying about Dawn in season 5 really, I thought that Real Me was an awesome intro for her character, but I've seen so many people talking about not being able to stand her from the beginning. Honestly I think that some people just hated the whole concept of a 'cute younger character' being added, they were coming at the idea from what they'd seen in other tv shows, and so were already predisposed to find Dawn annoying?

Hmm how would people have corrected the writing of Dawn if you were working on the show, or did you think it was fine just the way it was? I might have changed her age and made her more obviously younger, instead of 14/15/16 over the course of the show. I always thought that was waaay to close to the age that Buffy had been at the start of the series to then make such a big deal about how young Dawn was and how she needed babysitting. If they wanted to write her as such a little sister then I think it would have been a better idea to at least introduce her as 12 or 13 years old, it's not like the other actors were playing their ages either.

Also I think season 5 was Dawn's best season because she was such an important of the main plot, so maybe they could have done more with her powers as the Key after season 5, instead of immediately making her a normal teenage girl?


Oh and I really think her screaming is overstated, she yelled 'get out' just twice. I'm not saying that it wasn't high-pitched and annoying, but from the way people talk you would think she had been screeching like that at least every 4-5 episodes!

Trachtenberg's character in Gossip Girl is in there too. Why don't they just come out and say they hate Trachtenberg? That show was shallow crap and Trachtenberg was the only good thing in the parts of it I saw that she was in.

There's an endless list of characters that should be included on that list. From the Buffyverse, the most purely annoying character by far is Andrew. I still cringe whenever I hear Tom Lenk's voice in a film. He turned up in Argo. I wanted a warning put on the dvd box. Tess from Roswell should be on that list. She annoyed me so much. And maybe DeRavin's character (Claire) from Lost should be on the list too, along with her boyfriend (whose name I luckily can't remember now, but the actor was a hobbit in LOTR). But the worst from Lost is a toss-up between the revolting Anna Lucia and that sanctimonious poser Sayid. Those two were HORRIBLE. Camelot was a ten-episode show, but its King Arthur (played by Jamie Campbell Bower) has to rank pretty high among annoying characters. He was the small-screen equivalent to Hayden Christensen's Anakin Skywalker in the last two Star Wars prequels (Anakin was the main guy in Revenge of the Sith, the only Star Wars film you've seen). I wish I could add Anakin to the list even though he was not tv.

I was surprised at Georgina being included, I always thought that she was pretty popular and that was why the Gossip Girl writers kept bringing her character back...
