You certainly do :D Season four had some great episodes.

In particular the spectacular battle with the beast mid season. The hilarious encounter between Fred and the human eating midget demon. Lilah. Faith. Angelus. SPIN THE BOTTLE! It's all there... Granted the whole Cordelia/Connor thing was cringworthy, but then the writers were backed into a corner with Charisma's pregnancy.

I'm finding it tough to remember any of the potentials besides Kennedy. To be honest, she's the ONLY one which I thought measured up as to being a Slayer. The only negative I had on her is that her and Willow hooked up. I can see how it might work for some, but I just didn't see the chemistry between them as I did w/ Tara and Willow. Not by a long shot.
A couple of things I'm sorta shady on, is this whole notion of potentials and the Slayer. We know in history there's only suppose to be ONE Slayer at any given time, but how many potentials are there ? Seems like there's a lot.

And then there's the transferring of Slayer power from Buffy. Was her power spread out to JUST the potentials, or all young women? And finally, was that power some how diluted because it was spread out so much, or was each young woman on level w/ Buffy in terms of strength, endurance, agility, etc....
People love a happy ending. So every episode, I will explain once again that I don't like people. And then Mal will shoot someone. Someone we like. And their puppy. - Joss

I did quite enjoy Season 7 and the Potentials. A couple of them could be annoying at times but hey, there have been more annoying characters on Joss's shows (Season 5 Dawn and pre-Season 5 Connor). I didn't however like Kennedy, she was a brat and I think Willow getting involved with anyone was just way too soon.
Some things, man just wasn't meant to know, like how Wayne Static does his hair... It's the Devil's hair gel I tells you!

I loved Season 7, too. Didn't have a problem with Willow moving on, or that it had to be an anti-Tara type (by the way, who's more anti-Tara than OZ? 
). I had a problem with Kennedy before she even got with Willow...when she had that disgusted kind of reaction to Buffy when she arrived in Buffy's house. Being Willow's next girlfriend only made it worse. I didn't hate Riley, though. Wasn't a fan originally, but by the time he was about to leave I really started to feel for him. Not necessarily as Buffy's boyfriend ('cuz that should be Xander--
) but in general.
By the way, always wondered why I didn't remember you posting on the ANGEL boards. Now I know...

The way I understood it was thus:
Select to view spoiler:
All girls who would be potentials in the future would now become slayers too. Irrespective of their age, as with the little girl at the baseball game. As for wether the power would be diluted, I don't think so. I think it was the Slayer's power now in every potential.
How many potentials there are at any one time I think is indefinite, I seem to remember reference to that at some stage. (Season TwoI believe)
I always wondered if this meant that all these Watchers would now be called up too and if so where are they going to be coming from given that the council was blown up.[/spoilers]

never had a problem with the potentials except watching molly die! i liked her dammit!
Vi was my other fave - kinda willowy.
Kennedy - never had a problem with her as a jr Faith just never convinced by her as Willow's lover. and no, the chemistry isn't there but the actress plays her part fine in The Killer In Me and Aly always makes me cry in that.
season seven has some of my fave eps in it but as a whole... its qualities and flaws are exceedingly complex...
anyone else think it was planned to be 11 episodes long - to mirror season one more completely?

Ha! I liked Molly too. Her poor english accent just endeared me to her. I was desperately sad they killed her off too.

I have Faith's appearance in season one though. GREAT stuff!
