That automatically makes it the worst season. Gay Willow always beats nerdy Willow so therefore, the later seasons are better. | |

I think each season had some lows as well as highs, the only season i didnt really get into was the Buffy back from the Dead, cause the focus was all bout Buffy being confused bout being brought back and not asking for it, blaming her friends, and blah blah blah it just got to weighted down, Also the Big Evil that year while had great comic moments, wasnt by a sliver a threat to the Scoobies, thank god willow went all Uber and Xander saved the day.

[Edited 7/21/06 17:03pm] Well lets be honest the worse season of Buffy was better than 88% of the crap on the television. Oh and btw Josh is finishing up a new comic book series about Buffy and it should be released soon on Black Horse Comics. It takes place after the series finale.

Hmm....let's see...
Fave seasons: 4-6 Fave eppys: Hush, The Body, Ted, Fool for Love, Graduation, Beneath You, Band Candy Fave characters and a rant: Giles, Faith, Dru, Xander, Oz, Willow...aw hell. Pretty much everyone but Buffy herself. She may have been the title character of one of the two shows, but she bugged the shit out of me. I was ambivalent on her character for a long time, but always holding out hope that I could grow to like her. But then everything with Spike went down (so to speak. heh.) and I lost any lingering respect or like for her. Vampire or not (a soulless, evil "thing") she treated him like shit. It made me uncomfortable how, if the genders were reversed, the relationship would unarguably have been portrayed as abusive, but as is the audience is somehow supposed to empathise with Buffy and that certain situations were even played for laughs. Personally I think the attempted rape of Buffy was a play for sympathy by the writers once they realized some of the audience was not connecting with Buffy in the way they intended, as well as being an easy way to springboard the "Spike-now-has-a-soul" storyline. "A Watcher scoffs at gravity!" | |
