So people have different opinions, but almost everyone I've spoken to over the subject has said season two was the best or worst series. No one has said in between. Well, I guess they could just be trying to get me to stop annoying them, but still, I was wondering what everyones opinion was? I don't really have one currently, because I haven't seen season two in over a year, because it's currently the only season I don't own.
 
I'm watching S2 again right now, and it's definitely not the worst season. That honor, to me, falls to S4 (closely followed by 1). Thematically, I think S2 was one of the stronger seasons. The metaphors were tight and obvious without smacking you over the head, and the whole Angelus thing was just awesome. And then there was the Spike intro, which is my favorite part of everything ever. 🙂

Yea there is no way season 2 is the worst season in buffy.
 
Neither.

It's good. It's classical BtVS.

But it's not the best, that honour is reserved for season 3. Like I said season 2 was when BtVS really came into its own, it developed into something that would become really, really, really good. It was the fermenting season.

yea!!
Personally season two is my favourite. The arc was spectacular, I don't think there was a better one. The introduction of Spike and Dru was ingenious. I have never had more invested in a season as I had in season 2 (uber Bangel shipper!!). All the characters evolve so much..Xander, Willow, Cordy..all come leaps and bounds...Buffy is NEVER the same again...I mean it gave us ANGELUS!! possibly the most enthralling villian the show ever offered...and even though it breaks my heart, Buffy killing Angel is amazing to watch...still ten years later I can't take my eyes off it when its on. It's the reason I began watching the show...season two is like going back intime for me...as far as I am concerned it was Buffy at it's best....

ok flame me!!

I'm an uber Bangel shipper too! Also an uber Spike-Drusilla Fan. I agree, nothing's better than Season 2.
Why flame you lol, season 2 was great ^.^ IDK if it was the best,, it might be idk, I liked season 3 just as much so there'd be a tie in my heart for first ^_^

Honestly I'm torn between the two. Intellectully I can see that episode for episode Three was better but there is just something about two that calls to me!

lol I can't say 2 is better for the sheer fact that I love The Zeppo and The Wish but then season 2 has Phases and I only have eyes for you... which are all in my top 10 favorite all time Buffy eps lol but season 3 did have graduation and more of Oz which I loved, but then again season 2 had Angelus... so yea ^.^ I'm torn too, don't even get me started on 4 with Wild at Heart, A New Moon Rising, The Harsh Light of Day, Something blue, Hush... omg now season 4 is up there with 2-3 for me now too 🙁 lol

All i know is I loved BTVS, and I doubt I'll ever be able to choose just one season lol , after thinking about it lol

Yeah it's kinda impossible isn't it?? maybe we could break it down to something as simple as "Charmed bad. Buffy pretty."???

The fact that we are on this forum makes that IMPOSSIBLE!!!!
 
But then again I hate how in season 3 they killed the guy who was 'gay' but at first acted very very not gay. They showed him getting hit by the huge snakes tale and landing on the ground dead 🙁
 
but do you really think that had anything to do with him being gay?...

Ok so maybe a snakes tail could be argued to look phallic like but really I think that is pushing it.
 
No i don't care that they killed the gay guy, i just liked his character from the other eps, INCLUDING THE WISH!!!! and i didn't want him to die

So they killed him and I was like oh hells no!!! lol that is one reasons Season 3 can't top season 2 /vice versa
 
Hahaha...ok slight misinterpretation there...I'll never be able to choose between them
 
So no one hates it? Neither do I, just I was having a discussion with some of my other friends who all seem to hate it. I'd say season 1 was the weakest out of all seven seasons.
 
I do think season 2 was one of the strongest seasons (though my personally favorite is undoubtably season 3)- it has just great arcs, character developments, stand-alone episodes everything. It was when Buffy first became a lot darker, but it also retained it's light and upbeat side. I just love it.
If I were to pick a worst season, which hello from someone so completely obsessed with the show is hard to do I'm sure you'll all agree hehe, I would say season 7. Why? Because of the Potentials. The majority of them annoyed the hell out of me. I was constantly 'oh get over yourself you whiny [insert abuse here]'. The only one I liked was Amanda, the one from SHS, because she didn't make a big deal out of it or complain about it she just did it. A true Slaygal. hehe. And then she got killed....damn.

Haha thats weird becuase I always saw season seven as getting as close to seasons 2&3 as Buffy had been in a long time...
 
Hehe, weird. I do get what you mean in a way as to story arcs and characters and such, particularly the stand alone eps such as 'Him'. But it was just the Potentials that ruined it for me, I really couldn't like any of them except for Amanda and that's what made me mainly iffy about the season as regards to best or worst. Plus I hated Buffy's total rejection of Giles and then *everyone's* rejection of *her*. I mean I loved the season, don't get me wrong. But if I had to pick my least favorite, it would be seven
