In any media of course. For me my top one is using the "Legends" of old. For example, Dracula! It drives me nuts when people use Dracula! >.> Thats the best way to kill a storyline! Or when they have an character who is a desendent or something of him. Hellsing spoiler! Hellsing was the only series to make it work for me but thats only because you didn't know who he was until the second to the last ep or was it the last where you find out? Anyways, it was AWESOME.
**Love the spoilers tags**

Personally, I hate when drama shows end up resorting to multiple seasons of the main character oscillating back and forth between two potential love interests...After the first time you'd think that one of them would end up saying "cummon! make up your mind once and for all!" And about Dracula... And you might want to check out Vampire Hunter D for well done dracula related...though I still want to know what was up with his hand!

You mean the cliché stuff like evil twins and amnesia? Or specific story lines from specific books?

Anything that drives you nuts!
I LOVED the second VHD but the first was annoying.

They did a Dracula epi on Buffy. It was not one of my favorites. Aside from being a lame story, the production value of that epi was much poorer than usual.

I must agree. It kinda killed that episode by a lot but Hush was funny as hell!

Hush was one of the best. I also really liked the musical one where they all sang.`
One of my favorite Angles was when he got turned into a muppet. That was so funny.

I LOVED the second VHD but the first was annoying. Strange! With most people I've talked to they like the first much better...the second was well done, but so different in feel that a lot of people feel it shouldn't have been a VHD... And Hush was great...though I think I' would rather watch it on DVD than on TV ever again...The biggest problem with it was the commercials were so jarring after the lack of anything but score...

I thought the second one was brilliant! A good watch for any vampire romance fan. XD I thought the ending was so sweet!
I can only imagine. I saw Hush on TV but as a recording because I couldn't watch it so I just fastforwarded the commercials. XD

I did buy the whole 7 seasons of Buffy DVD's. I need to watch them again. I really did like the last 4 or 5 shows. Seeing everything fall into that big hole was so cool. I would have liked one more season to wrap it all up though. I don't like the idea of comics. A Buffy movie would be cool. Poor Anya.

I know!! The end just seemed so rushed! The ep where everyone turned on Buffy made me tear up the first time I saw it. I was in disneyland too. XD

I hate the reset button phenomenon. You know, when whatever happened gets undone, and no one remembers? Do-overs are such a cop out. I do think the one on Angel (when Angel becomes human, then persuades The Powers That Be to undo it so he can remain a Champion ) was well done, and was character-driven. That one made sense and worked with, not against the momentum of the series. Most others just seem to give off that 'bunch of bored writers imagining "wouldn't it be neat if ... " ' vibe. By making the whole thing a dream, or an alternate reality or whatever, they wind up manipulating the audience. Not cool.
