Buffy season five had Glory, a lovebot with feelings, and a mental breakdown- where's that get fun?

It does amaze me how we all watch the same shows and get such different things out of them! I believe I've said it before, but my favorites are:

4, 2, 7, 3, 6, 1, 5
(five and 1 are the only seasons where I want to skip whole episodes when rewatching the DVDs)

Indeed. I guess that's testament to a great show, that so many people are able to engage with it in so many different ways. Buffy works well like that.

oh and: 3,4,2,7,5,1, 6

I liked season 5. Season 1 was the worst season for me. It had more of monster of the week feel to it that I didn't like too much.

The Buffybot grew on me as Willow tweaked her more and more. It almost seemed like she was striving to be human. I also felt bad for her when she would just totally miss the point of a comment or question.

My season list: 6,3,7,5,4,2,1

i think season 5 had some good episodes, but the season as a whole didn't really work for me-i'm not sure why, because i didn't have a problem with any of the characters, but it felt like there was no story arc, and i can't figure out why. i think it has something to do with the fact that this was the season where joss became less directly involved all the time.

my episode list would have to be:

2413675

(altho the sixth season DID have OMWF...maybe it should get a better place just fore that...)

i don't see anything wrong with being trigger happy...as long as you hang out with the right people...

I'm going to have to say that it was a fairly strong season with a great ending. And ending which should have been an overall ending. Sure, there were points not exactly in its favour. But, nothing is perfect and CharlieBZ gives a nice short-list of the many good things in it.

My problem with Buffy in general is that it lacks staying power. As in, the show was great at the time in which it aired and shortly thereafter. But, it just isn't even remotely as good after these many years. I've watched the series 3 times through at this point and I'm going to have to say that I like it less on each viewing.

My solution to this problem is to seek out other series that I didn't get to watch when it was on, or didn't have the time for or only got subtitled/dubbed and hide in obscurity. There's a fair number of them. So, I watch "new" stuff all the time.

Well, that's my 2 cents anyway.
