1. Season Two--The week between pt. 1 and pt. 2 Becoming was pure painful anticipation. After the finale, I was completely floored. I would never again be a casual veiwer.
2. Season Three--Probably, overall, the best season, but lacking the impact of season two. We've got Faith, the Mayor, and two episodes with Vampire Willow.
3. Season Five--This was when Buffy became my hero.
4. Season Seven--I will stipulate that this season is a little lost at times. But, at the time I was so invested in the charactors and story that I devoured every episode. Every Tuesday, I would tape Buffy and Angel while I was at work. When I got home, I would watch Buffy. Rewind it. Watch it again. Then, watch Angel. I agree it should have had a two part finale.
5. Season Six--This is the darkest chapter in the Buffy story, and it happened to air during one of the worst years of my life. Much of it is painful to watch, but some of the best moments from the show are in this season.
6. Season Four--This season has some great episodes, but the overall arc is weak, and it didn't live up to my expectactions after Two and Three.
7. Season One--I missed this season when it originally aired. Prophecy Girl is very good.

Yep, yep, yep. I just finished the third disc last night. While I'm not floored by Brisco, it is charming. The future references are a hoot. The horse stuff is a little distracting for me, though. I am keeping tabs on how many times specific horses appear and how many times Comet is played by another horse. But, those are only things that bother horsepeople like myself.
Season 7 of Buffy: While there are some stand out moments/episodes, as a whole the season felt very weak, and a little annoying, to me. The First was lame villian, all the potentials bothered me, didn't like Kennedy/Willow. Joss was working on Firefly during this season and it shows. BtVS was left in other hands that weren't as competent, though ME would tell us differently. So, season 7 is my least favorite.

"Hey, I told you to wait outside; this isn't the first time we've had this discussion!"
That set the tone, I think..
I'm spacing Brisco out, only on ep 2, gonna make it l a s t!
I'm watching S7 again right now (only my 2nd time), and I'm liking it at a S3 level!! I LOVE what they did w/Spike! And it has a VERY serious tone that builds...
We must agree to disagree, as it's up there with the best for me!

Okee dokey here we go
3 - The Mayor, Faith, Willow+Oz. Nuff said.
2 - Good guy as a bad guy. Very emotional ending.
7 - Brilliant resolution, and our Nathan. Loved Normal Again.
1 - Struggles at times but sets the scene well for later.
6 - Dark and throws you off kilter. Great
4 - Aside from the Initiative this has some great episodes.
5 - Not a big fan of Glory and Dawn was a bit whiny in this. Still some good stuff.
In order but the last three seasons are difficult to chose between.

#1 - S3 hands down!!! And that is saying a lot considering I'm a Spike Girl. However, my other favorite is Faith, the Mayor is the greatest villian ever, The Wish, Lover's Walk, Doppengangland, Helpless, Buffy stabs Faith, Angel feeds on Buffy....and of course Oz. Need I go on?
#2 - 2 & 4. If you could take the second half of S2 and combine it with the 1st half of S4, it would be perfect! With the exception of Spike and "The Dark Ages", S2 before Angelus isn't much. But omigod does Joss make up for it. And I still say that Passion is hands down the greatest episode ever!
When S4 came out, I jumped on the band wagon of hating it. I thought it was stilted. Then I understood that was the point, and I ended up loving it. Until, of course, the appearance of Adam. Ugh! But it really does have some amazing moments, and honestly I sobbed harder when Will and Oz broke up (the final time) then possibly any other moment in the show.
#3: S6 - This is not a popular choice. I rewatched it lately. And I admit I was a little taken aback with all the sex, how raw it was. But it was also brilliant. And not just because JM was naked 24/7. People grow up, they flirt with danger. When they have a trauma and become numb, they'll do anything to feel. Buffy is the Slayer, and she DIED. For her to flirt with danger and feel she would have to start a violent affair with Spike. And the Geeks were fantastic. First for being so hilarious, and then for being so terrifyingly real. And of course dark Willow is the sexiest most amazing villian ever. And Tony coming through the door is perhaps the happiest moment ever.
#4 - S7: I was not a huge fan of the potentials, but everything else is great. Anya and Spike got to stretch a bit. And of course every episode from the return of faith/arrival of caleb is fantastic.
#5: S5- Another really hard call. Some of the most beautiful, poignant episodes are here. But Glory and Dawn really annoy me!
#6 - S1: It was fantastic the first time. And I still love The Pack and Nightmares. But you can't rewatch it like the other ones. They shot them all on the original budget and it shows. And it boasts at least 3 of the worst episodes of the series, and there are only 12 total in the season!

The Mayor and Glory win out for me. There's something really creepy about him, and her. They're shades of the same color. So psycho they look normal.
