If I don't see the last two seasons, I'll miss the Buffybot.
Chrisisall, who knows too much about seasons he hasn't seen
P.S., TAPE? Oh yeah, last century stuff. I got a few in my closet, I think...

Well Buffy > Voyager, but I'm not one for buying dvd sets I won't watch. I got stuck on Buffy. I've got 1, 2 & 3 but I don't like 4 and going out of order seems weird...so I just haven't bought anymore.
I'm one of those who thinks the quality dropped off during 6 & 7. I'm also one of the ones who liked season 5. Anyway there are still a few great episodes in there, but are a few great episodes enough? That's a question only you can answer.

I really, really like seasons 6 and 7. They are very different, even from each other, but I think they are definitely worth owning. I understand how some people might not like the changes in Buffy, especially in the 6th season, but personally I think the darkness of the 6th season made for good drama and some excellent episodes. Season 7 was also difficult with so many new characters, but I think it all paid off splendidly in the final episode. I don't think you could have asked for a better ending.
A couple great character moments from seasons 6 and 7:
Select to view spoiler:
Willow's darkness and Xander's love, the humanizing of both Anya and Spike, Andrew's transformation (and his friendship with Anya), Faith's return. Really, though, I think the best character arc would be Spike, and he's not anywhere near my favorite character!
So yes, get seasons 6 and 7! If you don't like them, you can always sell them on ebay or something....

Unfortunately, I can only say that season 7 definitely suck and season 6 is hit and miss (IMO of course).
But, it depends on how much you like Sci-Fi.
From what I hear, Joss wrote the end of Season 5 to be the end. Then F*X ordered more. So, season 6 is the last bit of the good ideas, and season 7...
Perhaps, snag season 6 and the next season of Voyager you want and make a further decision then. Or you could "try before you buy" if you know what I mean. There's also renting them as well.
Beyond that, I can't exactly say anything else. To do so would stretch my poor memory and likely result in mis-information.

Ok fine, but certainly he hasn't lived under a rock for the past 4 years? I knew practically everything that happened in the entire Buffy arc (seasons 1-7) before I watched a single episode! Also, he alludes to Caleb and Faith, so he at least already knows SOMETHING of the plot.
Anyway Chris, if I spoiled you, I'm sorry, but I didn't really say much at all, considering how much DOES happen in seasons 6 and 7. Buy them, and I hope you like them!

you need to have season 6
it has a lot of interesting & surprising developments,
but the thing you own (and rewatch many times)
is the amazing musical episode...
Joss wrote the music to fit the abilities of each of his actors,
with lyrics which really specifically tell their secrets and advance the season's arc
it is an amazing episode, and the commentary is great AND there is a 'making of' special which is wonderful....
then in another year or so I'll advise you that you should also own Season 7, just to have the whole set....
(BTW did you love S4 as much as I did?)

I must say that I thought Glory (S5) was an uneven Bad at best, I hope the First is more effective at being powerful and dangerious...
Mean Willow will be fun Chrisisall

Was lukewarm on 5, mostly due to lame 'God' Glory who had problems in heels...
And hated to say bye to Reilly
.But The Body shook me for DAYS!!!! And Fool For Love was awsome.
The Initiative was a real kick Chrisisall

The Body is my favorite episode. :)
I liked Glory overall. I think her craziness might have been part of the "uneven" aspect.
But I think my favorite Big Bad would have to be the Mayor.
