No, no, no...Evil Willow is FANTASTIC! Well, Truly.Evil.Willow is fantastic. I'm-on-my-way-to-being-evil Willow is not so great. But Truly Evil Willow is worth it.
Cordy was never worth it, IMO.

I place Firefly above Buffy which is above Angel...but mostly because Firefly never had a chance to disappoint. It was all new and shiny and original. It was on its uphill journey and never had a chance to plateau or even fall. The other two, while still excellent television, were around for so long they couldn't help some plateauing.

Yeah I liked season four up until the moment Cordy and Connor do the beast with two backs. Thereafter it's strange.
I loved the episode with Fred and the hand eating midget monster thingy. That guy cracked me up! Also loved the concept of perpetual darkness - I'd have liked this strung out a little more.
But on the whole the "Who is Connor?" was just too much...
Still love Angel though. Some genuine profound TV in there.
On a sidenote: Watch everything Joss Whedon does. It's gold-dust!!!!!!

Oh, and I really dislike the kid who played Conner, even though I've only been exposed to him in season five....Grrr
I've never liked the Gunn character (though I have no problem w/the actor).
Chrisisall, owner of more Faith episodes!
Dood, I didn't know the Gunn character bugged you. I think in one of the commentaries Tim Minear mentions they really didn't know what to do with the guy, and over the course of the seasons it does show.
Pity because I did like the guy when he first showed up.
Oh well

I don't know how he faired in 3 or 4, but he seemed a little better in 5, but still weak...

IMO, Season three and four was some of the worst television I've ever seen and I sadly blame Firefly for it. And the suckiness of Season 6 on Buffy. Loyal Buffy fan to the end, Joss pretty much abandoned those two shows for Firefly. And it's a double edged sword.

well, just because ya didn't like it...I mean, that's all.
I thought it was a necessary transition to season seven, which I loved.

I agree on BtVS6 and AtS4, but AtS3 worst television ever? I mean yes it had it Dad and Provider, but it also had Billy, Lullaby, Birthday, Waiting In The Wings, Sleep Tight....

I got seasons 3 and 4 a week and a half ago on sale and finished watching them all a couple of days ago- i don't think i can watch any more tv for a while!
I loved Season 3, but I am so confused about Season 4. I'm not sure if I liked it or didn't which sounds crazy but the whole Connor/ Cordelia thing was just weird as, how did the writers ever think that Connor/ Cordelia would work for the viewers? The Jasmine part was good, loved seeing Gina again. By the end I was just sick of Connor's problems, but I did cry in the last episode. I guess the good outweighs the bad but I'm still not really sure hehe.
I liked Gunn, but I have to agree they never worked out what to do with him.
