I've always liked Dawn (and her pizza topping preferences; I still quote her anchovies song). The nerds are underrated too I think. Warren is legitimately creepy and Andrew is hilarious. And Anya's marriage song interlude is my favourite musical Buffy moment.

Is the complete omission of Riley in your Buffy summary intentional? If so I don't blame you

I just started rewatching season 5 and was quite incensed that he hadn't already left the cast. I'd thought he was gone by the end of season 4. Easily the most boring and useless main character in all of Buffy-dom.

They're creepy in a very boring way. They're fun, but not in a way that drives the plot. They're side characters elevated for no good reason.

Maaaaaybe

Honestly though, I don't dislike him. He has his moments ("I'm an anarchist!"). It's just that most of the time, he's just sort of... there.

He has no purpose beyond being the bridge between Angel and Spike.

I think that was kinda the point. It was intentional, sort of like how Dawn was supposed to be annoying. Even Riley himself admitted that he was the convenient rebound guy. Which is why he became obsessed with getting bit by vampire gals, and then took off.

Riley existed as a way of forcing Buffy to admit that cheesecake normies just didn't cut it for her.

Yes but that didn't make him any less lame or boring. I don't think any Buffy fan wasn't waiting for him to leave.
