Yes, the big bad for 5 was a bit silly. Shouldn't even been one. Season 5 was about one thing only:
Family.
Besides 2,and 3, season 5 is close behind as the best. I liked 6, but the geeky trio...give me a break. At least 7 redeemed the series and the character of Buffy herself. Too bad the other characters were left in the dust in the developmental department.

So thereisall
WOW! Chrisisall, your like Rambo in First Blood. Your systematically taking out the entire small town that is season 5. Well, you must have your reasons.
You may win this debate, but remember one thing: It's serious melodrama that makes Buffy what it is.

ok sunshine - dueling pistols at dawn (no, not THAT dawn!)
'dracula sucks' aside - (and hell, even that aint as bad as the crappy bits of 4)
this is my favourite season and by a long, long, long, long way. (and you KNOW i am a Faith fan too) and you best BELIEVE i get the urge to watch it.
the scoobs are peaking (SMG apparently lost interest after here and started 'going through the motions')- aly especially. but Spike gets many awesome scenes.
the BEST costumes of the show (er, except SMG's trousers in the gift).
the photography is rich and the lighting and lense use the best of the show. the budget is used effectively and the direction is cinematic and fluid. ok - enuff of that.
Fool for Love, The Gift, The Body, real me, family, The Replacement,intervention, checkpoint and on and on - these are prime bloody episodes!
the occasionally limiting aspects of the highschool show have gone, to be replaced with great weight (pun, no pun - your call) which has yet to crush the show beneath it (parts of the much underrated 6th season and some of 7) enuff of that.
DARK WILLOW!
Tough Giles (and not Pod-Giles!)
KILL THEM BOTH SPOCK! (and the snoopy dance)
Tara
Glory
much truly top notch pythonesque minion taunting
the season has real waves to it - humour , sadness, action, power - but never feels choppy and dislocated.
the finale (despite many production traumas) is just stunning (expect for - see above).
