But that was the whole point of the way she was introduced? She was unnatural and retconned by definition because she did not exist before then. And she needed to be Buffy's sister, because they needed someone strong to protect the key. I think it's pretty clever, actually. If she wasn't Buffy's sister, her sudden induction into everyone's lives wouldn't have been so huge. She's not just someone they went to school with, or townsperson. She's Buffy's sister, who has apparently been there ALL along!

I'm having a hard time explaining my issue here- I get that you don't like how it was done. But it's like.. that's the story line? That is Dawn. She was shoehorned in, very awkwardly and abruptly, because.. that is.. what happened. I don't know. To me this reads like 'what bothers me about Buffy is that she is a vampire slayer. She grew on me over time, but I still don't like that she's a vampire slayer, that she needed to be a vampire slayer'

No, I do get it - I just don't really like the storyline.

And I guess well with Buffy, that's the character that you chose to watch, and with Dawn it's sort of hit or miss if you'll like her.

I guess it's just how you phrased it. Instead of 'I don't like this story where she was unnaturally retconned in' you were more like 'I don't like that she was retconned in, it felt unnatural'

The latter just makes it sound like you've missed the point. Like you're pointing out a flaw in the storytelling, rather than the actual story. But if that's not what you meant, we cool.
