Lol, I couldn't resist using Kennedy as the universal symbol of Fan-hate.

Please don't add any couples because we've all seen the shipper arguements before. All the Spuffy fans will pick Bangel, all the Bangel fans will pick Spuffy and so on. There have been dozens of 'which ship is better' picks, that's already been covered elsewhere.

But add any other popular thing you dislike

I liked spike better as a villain. Even though I loved the character till the end I wish he had stayed more like he was in the begining.

The reason I loved his character to begin with was he was funny badass and evil, but still cute and Romantic with Dru. Then they turned him into the exact opposite of the character I liked by having him be unthreatening because of the chip (Even Xander punched him!) and having him try to rape Buffy.
He went from strong and tough but gentle to the woman he loved to weak and harmless but violent to the woman he loves. Literally the exact opposite of the traits I loved about him.

buffy bot was just stupid

It's not even that I hate the Tara/Willow pairing, or Amber Benson (I think she's a fine actress), it's just that I felt like Joss wrote her like a throwaway character, then decided to keep her and neglected to add any interesting dimensions to her at all. I know people disagree, but that's just how I saw it.

I didn't like love-struck Spike, either. It made him way too gushy and gross.

are you kidding?? i love spike all the time!!! i love spike when he's evil, i love spike when he's chipped, i love spike when he's bufffy-struck, and i love spike when he's ensouled! anyways most of the things i hate are hated by other fans...briley, kennedy...also bangel but that's obviously not everybody else just some people :)

Season 5 has always been my least favorite; it feels slower-moving and more amateur to me than the rest of the series, almost badly-written in places. I also never liked Glory as a character particularly, and Dawn is probably my least favorite character in the entire series, even including Kennedy.

But everyone else seems to like this season, and a lot of people seem to dislike 4, which is one of my favorite seasons. :S

I think what happened with Spike is after Angel left they tried to mould Spike into an Angel like character it was just horrilbly executed even breaking canon

I feel Season 6 was a huge effect on the show. A lot of pain,suffering,loss,guilty pleasures,rape,soul,and so on and so forth. This season was hard for me towards Buffy,Spike and the gang. Dawn being a big klepto,Willow abusing the magics, Buffy being overwhelmed with money be short. And been sleeping with Spike.

Buffy thought that this hell because she was brought back to life being pulled out of heaven by her own friends. Trying to get that feeling away feeling that she not really here. Sleeping with Spike so she can feel again,using and rape and getting a soul. Tara's death by Warren,Willow abusing the magics so much its killing everyone and including herself.

99% of the time i hate him =/

I don't really hate season 5, I just didn't like it as much. Except for the last episode, it made me cry.

Amber's acting left much to be desired.

Nosemuffin I totally disagree but holy frak where have you been?

I didn't buy Spike when he was trying to be sweet and what not. He was a more convincing evil guy. I thought they sold out when they made him good, and it definitely ruined the character for me.

I hate Xander.

Not necessarily "good Spike" as in the whole Spike redemption arc, but I did feel that there was too much focus on Spike (and Spuffy, but I'm trying to make this non-pairing) during season 7.
