Hmm... can't remember if I've responded before, so I'm responding again!

From best to worst:

5 - most consistant season, I love Buffy & Dawn, I love Joyce's role, I love Buffy not needing a man, I like Glory (she's funny)

6 - though parts of the season where weak, the parts that hit really hit. This is the most complex, grown-up, intensely dark season.

3 - okay... it could be argued that season three is a little more consistant than season five, but it doesn't have the same emotional depth. I love the mayor.

2 - amazing finale, almost everything after Innocence is gold, but... eh, there are lots of HORRIBLE standalones and the first half of the season in mediocre. Plus, I was never the biggest Angel fan.

7 - Say what you will, but it is a solid season. Overall, I think it doesn't give us the character growth of, say, season five, two, or six, but it has a bunch of great stand-out episodes and very few duds.

4 - I just couldn't get sold on the over-arcing plot. The intiative was a cool idea but the execution was horrible. Adam did nothing for me. It had some of the best standalones (Hush, Who are You, Something Blue, etc.), but they couldn't save the season.

1 - It is a lot of fun, but its just not Buffy yet. I do enjoy it, thought. Even "I Robot, You Jane". :-)

You're only saying that 'cause you're a girl. The Initiative WAS cool, and the James Bond-y ending was great!

Coz there was no season:
Two million, four hundred and sixty three thousand, five hundred and seventeen.... That's why we use comas.



Yeah, but I think it looks better without comas and obviously is not two million four and and sixty three thousand, five hundred and seventeen because that's only one number and there are seven seasons...I would use comas only if Buffy had ten or more seasons... Otherwise why waste the chance to not use comas...

Lexan I was just messing around. :D

However I find your lack of faith in the humble coma slightly disturbing.

I found the first season, where Mal and the gang were introduced, the best.

The second season, where Saffron took over as captain while Mal had to tunnel his way out of an alliance prison, certainly had zest.

The third, with the birth of baby Wash Jr. and Jayne's decision to come out, was emotionally resonant.

The fouth, with the discovery that Shepard Book was Zoe's dad and Inara's decision to give up the life of a companion and start training as ship's mechanic, lacked credibility.

I look forward the the fifth season and the continued success of this wonderful show, and I salute Fox for its commitment to quality programming.

Ok slight ammendment here. I've just re-watched seasons five and seven and I think I need to change my order. Therefore....

1 - Season Three
2 - Season Four
3 - SeasonTwo
4 - Season Seven
5 - Season One
6 - Season Five
7 - Season Six

I have elevated season seven up a peg.

Select to view spoiler:


Dawn is a much improved character, Giles' return is welcomed and DB woodside is funny. The Slayerettes are annoying but on the plus side most of them are killed off! So that actually is more enjoyable second time around!! Lastly, Faith making a return is nifty!

*...and there was much rejoicing!*

Note: Two would be higher on my list if Angelus didn't seem to be wasting time- he plodded when he should have come on like a hurricane (same problem w/Glory). Oh, and the 16mm thing.

I didn't mind the 16mm stock. It gave it a more authentic look. Similar reason why I like Terminator to it's sequels. The dirt filth and grime add weight to it's theme.

That said I was happy with Buffy with a slicker look also, but by that time they could have released Buffy as a flip-book and I'd still have watched. After Season one I was intrigued, and genuinely charmed. Mid-way through Season two I was just plain hooked!

I guess Angel plodding was a character flaw. He savoured the kill, he regarded it as poetry and would detail each step as verse. I was into that side of his character, but yes ultimtately it was his downfall.

Thinking about it though they dispensed with that side of his personality when he went to Los Angeles.....

Keenly watching season seven with unfamiliar glee, once again! - TheSomnambulist
