I don't really see what you're getting at...
What's the difference what is 'abnormal' for her?

Consider a guy, named Moloch, with dissociative identity disorder. Wouldn't it be fair to say that you could really like one of personalities - "Malcolm," really hate another - "Adam," and be completely indifferent to a third - "Jason?" What if somebody said to you "you can't like or dislike Malcolm," you must simply decide whether or not you like Moloch? While you can decide whether or not you like Moloch on the whole, you can also have different feelings for and different relationships with Malcolm, Adam, and Jason.

I see your point. For reasons that should be obvious to you, I don't really want to say anything for or against your position.

The personality that was Moloch would no longer exist.

I was genuinely surprised when I got the answers. I had no idea Dawn was so vehemently disliked.

I was recalling the episode threads from back in the day.

I actually thought this would be nearly unanimous!

Re: Buffy The Sheep Slayer

But hey, she's a kid sister and she was supposed to be annoying, right?

Really? She was very annoying. That being said, if people watched Buffy and Angel but never gave their impressions to others, I'm not so sure she'd be the most popular answer in this game.

I did too. I was debating between putting all my slam dunks on Spike as the coolest or Dawn as the most annoying, and I decided that Dawn would get far more votes. I can't believe Spike actually got more votes.

No, I marathoned them after the shows finished.

Yep. She played exactly the character the show wanted. She did a good job at being annoying.

Re: Buffy The Sheep Slayer

Wow, I won! I only tabulated the individual question scores in advance, not total scores. I knew I'd get a huge bump for slam dunking Spike, but I assumed that others would overtake me as I had several 0 point or positive point answers toward the end.

Re: Buffy The Sheep Slayer

Woohoo! I can't complain considering how long it's been since I revisited either of the shows (even owning them on DVD). Thanks for running this, Supermallet!

Re: Buffy The Sheep Slayer

Thanks for playing, everyone! If I can gather enough questions, I'd be happy to run a part 2 sometime in the future. Possibly also a Doctor Who sheep at some point, although that show has so much history that researching answers could take forever.
