But it's all good Chrisisall


OMG! You are not into Drusilla, Queen of the Damned?!
Season 2 will always be a favorite, if just because of the rocket launcher!

(I'm thinking Chrisisall needs to watch it again)

Sorry, can't agree with you on that one. Not only a hard episode to watch, my least favorite Buffyverse character ever.



Ec, you risk your immortal soul putting down the fabulous Andrew in such a way in the Buffyverse forum- while I can forgive such a transgression, there are others here who may not...my advice: Screens and shields immediately.

Silly silly Chrisisall


I'll let you know when I start worrying about what anyone else thinks about my opinion.

Season four.
1-It's the funniest of all
2- RESTLESS
3-Spike in Xanders clothes
4-HUSH!!!!!!!!

Season Three
1- Episodes 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,22! (Consistency)
2-The best 'Big Bad' : The Mayor (a round of applause please)

While I'm not fan of S4 you are dead on about S3. S3 is by far the best, no other season is even close. I did enjoy Spike and Dru during S2.

Season 4 as a whole story ark isn't nearly as strong as two and certainly not three, but I just find that season four holds up extremely well to repeated viewing. I'm no fan of the initiative idea, but I must admit some of the stories that came out of that were fun, and as such I personally maintain it as the funniest season overall.

Season three for me really nailed the essence of what Buffy as an icon was and I can't find fault with a single episode in that season. It is the best. I just find that I have to be in it for the 'entire' season to rewatch it though... Where as four I don't mind skipping episodes or going out of sequence.

Totally agree with your assessment here, Somnambulist, and seven is like four to me; I can watch any ep out of sequence and still get a thrill!
But six is one I have to go all the way through...like three, but not as thoroughly satisfying.

Ha,ha! Certainly Big 'C'

Only we'll be hounding our offsping to pick us up one of them retro media players so we can play our dusty DVDs. Imagine what they'll have by then! Some sort of cerebral plug that is wirelessly connected to a central media server out on the planet mars or summit! Or a media-chip 'tablet' that you ingest and 'experience' the show as you sleep :D He,he... the mind boggles

I figure give the industry Twenty years and they'll remake the entire Buffy Seasons, with new stars and new effects, with an honorary cameo by the original show creator... Joss Whedon.

Your not thinking fourth dimensionally...

They'll CGI the existing series to death, and broad wave it as new, making it make embarrassingly large stacks of cash at a minimum investment...

Then they'll make new eps by digitally recreating SMG and the entire cast.

Brave new Chrisisall

I didn't like season seven until I saw it on DVD. No commercials. If for no other reason, I liked season seven for my intoduction to Trogdor the Burninator. *snort*

I liked the Storyteller episode, how it showed the evolution of Andrew, and how it made me laugh out loud.

Kennedy -- not what Willow was looking for, but what Willow needed. I did not like their relationship at first, but they grew together, and it grew on me, though I am in the "Tara and Willow forever" camp.
