Best or Worst Season?

I don't think it's the best or worst but is probably more towards the top end of the scale than the bottom.
I liked specific episodes though there were a couple of duds as well and the villains were definately a great mixture of humour/fear etc. Though I'm probably the only person out of all my friends who finds Spike the most annoying character in the show - I actually LIKE him this season as he just gets so boring and cliched in the later years.
 
Not the best, not the worst... Just ok.

Too Bangel for me, but there are some great episodes.

The arc Dru-Spike-Angelus was the BEST part of the Season. For me the Season starts on "Innocence" *_*. Except for "Go Fish", of course lol
 
Okay so far this is the easiest question for me to weigh in on. Due to personal experiences season two will forever be my favorite season. I love every episode dearly except for "Bad Eggs". Otherwise they are brilliant. I remember crying my eyes out at the season finale and being faced with an entire summer not having any idea what would happen. Would we ever see Angel again? Is Buffy going to find a way to overcome this enormous hurdle? Oh man just thinking about it now gets me all worked up. I also totally love Ms. Calender and was so sad that she fell victim to Angel although that particular episode was such a killer for me with her figuring out the curse. I was like nooooooooooooooo, Angelus you are evil and then OMG Willow find the spell!!! It was crazy and yeah, so, loved it 🙂
 
well this season has a really big NO for me. I think it has a lot of bad episodes like Inca mummy girl, some assembly required, go fish, bad eggs, etc.. I LOVED spike/dru/angelus it was brilliant (and there were some amazing episodes! 😀) but the truth is.. it had a lot of boring episodes! (and for me inca mummy girl is the worst episode EVER!). That's why i love/hate this season.

I agree---

Isn't Angelus just creepy? Good creepy I mean😀
 
I've just finished watching season 2 of Buffy and I think its one of the best seasons they did. I love season 1 but man was it corny and season 2 was still corny but you loved it and the storylines were a lot stronger and so were the fight scenes. To me it really made the show what it has become and still is even though its over. I think Angel becoming Angelus is the big highlight especially for a season ending and Buffy doing a runner.

Most people always talk about that first before anything else when it comes to Buffy and it had one of the saddest deaths ever with Miss Calendar. Every time I watch the moment where Giles tells Willow down the phone and you just see her crumble it gets me every time. Its made even more heart wrenching with what Angel/Angelus talking about passion and love at the same time. Pure genius in my opinion and you have the funny episodes like Reptile Boy with Cordy and Buffy going to a fraternity house to party only to get chained up. So many comedic and dramatic stories and roles played out season 2 is definitely a strong contender in the best season of Buffy.
 
How about...Season 1 as the best, because the series started then, and Season 7 as the worst, because it ended then (at least as far as we knew at the time)

Alternately:


Season 6 as the best, because Buffy finally came to terms with her life, her duties, as the Slayer, and her family, and began to see that she actually could and, more importantly wanted to, find a balance in all of it. She didn't have to be JUST the Slayer, JUST the big sister/parental figure, or JUST the harried bread winner. She didn't have to let a single aspect of her life dominate all of the rest.

Season 4 as the worst, because Buffy was completely lost in a new environment, and having to face all of the real problems of life for the first time, and, frankly, in my opinion, most of those issues were either glossed over or were portrayed badly.
 
I just bought the BTVS complete series on DVD, and there's nothing really irritating about the Season 2.
 
season 2 isn't my absolute favourite, but it's definitely one of the best. it's an excellent season and i think i can say i can watch every single episode in it multiple times (and i have haha) without tiring of them. i think that seasons 6 and 7 are my favourite, with 2 being in second or third place.
 
It has some of my favorite episodes, If Dead mans Party and Zeppo would have happened in it then I'd say yes, hands down, but a pesky season separates those two from the rest of the excellent season two roster.

I liked the ending where everything was not wrapped up pretty like season one, three, and four even though the Big Bad was no more.

Season Five was the only other one to have a nail-biter ending and left me to wonder "What happens next?"

I haven't saw season 6 or 7 finales yet, so I can't really quantify where they fit in.

Angelus as a big bad was probably one of my more favorites evil doers. Season two also brought us Spike, Dru, Oz and Snyder. Alot of character development for the scoobies especially Giles...speaking of which...between Jenny biting it and Kendra also kicking the bucket I felt a real sense of worry/dread for the scoobies, especially Willow (That fish necklace...wierd.)

The show really seemed to get its wheels moving that season.

I like different seasons for different reasons but Season two is probably my favorite with four a somewhat close second, at least for now.

I adore season 2...but a lot of that is based on nostalgia and remembering seeing it for the first time on TV and being so gripped...I love it...even Bad Eggs, Ted, Go Fish and the other episodes people routinely slam...though my opinion would probably be different if I'd only discovered the series recently on DVD. I do think season 2 had some of the best episodes of the entire series, and the Buffy/Angelus arc is probably the arc the show is most known for. Brilliant execution and an amazing finale. I wouldn't say season 2 is necessarily my FAVORITE season, but it's DEFINITELY not the worst. Anyone who would say season 2 is of lesser quality than seasons 1 or 7 need to sober up, in my opinion...

I like Go Fish.
best for me would be season two simply because the writing and character development was so strong, you had angelus, spike and dru, we hate cordelia club lol, death of jenny calendar and the killing of angel to finish up a fantastic season, season 7 is the weakest for me
 
best season is 2-angelus, spike and dru had ur eyes glued and character arcs and themes and meaning behind the show actually taught u about life. ive learned many life lessons from the heroism of buffy-compassion, strength, facing fear, sticking up for yourself...

i think by far, though i love the show, season 6 was the worst-i hated the trio cause i think it cheapened the show, and giles leaving-even one of the writers admitted this in a commentary-made it feel as though something was missing.
 
I think the reason many people are captivated by season two is one; the boom of character development after a slower start in season one, and two; Angelus. We know his character, we know his innocence and suffering from his curse, thus we are attracted to him. We sympathize with him; like an animal trapped in a cage. Even though we don't want him to kill, we have some empathy. So, at the pivotal moment with his character (his change from Angel to Angelus), we have one of, or even both emotions: we hate him because he is now what we never wanted him to become, and or we feel 'sad' and keep that hope that he'll turn back alive. So, with this tension resting in the last few episodes, it makes the climax of that plot very effective. Everything we felt for Angel/Angelus is rushed at us, whether it was your hate, or your hope, we had our fallen hero, rise again. Season two is an adrenaline of emotion, and the way you take it in is how you either hate it, or love it. That's my theory on the topic.
I think Angel's character is utterly fascinating. I could rant on and on about him, but I'll save that and disperse my opinions.
 
Well, I love the entire show but there are some seasons I enjoy better than others, of course.

Personally, 6 in my all-time favorite season. don't really want to explain why now...I have many times before. 🙂

1 is my least favorite.

With Angel, 4 is my least favorite and 5 is my favorite.
 
Oh god, I love this season...my heart and soul fell in love with "passion" thats been my fave since I was old enough to have a fave 😉


Oh yeah! Spike and Drusilla...I just love those two together
 
I've been watching season two again because I'm marathoning the series with a friend, and each time I see it I like it a little better...I still don't really get why it's so hyped though...season two is only slightly less cheeseball than season one. (I think the acting and directing got a loy better with season three...)
