Best or Worst Season?

[Urgent Power]

Personally, I don't really like season 3. But season 2 is just pure Buffy. It's simply the "Buffiest" season of all. And along with season 5 - the best, in my opinion.

 

[fly on the wall]

It's definitely one of the best seasons in my opinion.

I watch season 2, and I'm a kid again. The Angel/Buffy relationship is endearing and heartbreaking...the Spike/Drusilla introduction is great...to me, this is where the show grounds itself and becomes more than just a show. Watching it today brings me back to my childhood of Buffylove. S2 will always be one of my favorites.

i liked season four best although a lot of people i talk to dont give season four the credit it deserves, i dont realli have a worst season

I'm currently rewatching season 2 now, and I think I'm finally starting to cement it as my favorite. Every season had great episodes, but I think the overall arcs and character development in Season 2 are the best.

- Love how Buffy and Angel's love grew in the first part of the season. They're so funny when they're fumbling words or arguing... and Willow getting involved, "And you! You're going to live forever! You don't have time for coffee?" It was so childlike in some ways, but that's what made it good.

- Spike and Dru in the beginning were great... season 2 is when it started.

- You get a lot more Cordelia action and she's just great doing comedy. The scene in the basement of the frat house (Reptile Boy) after the group save her and Buffy (and the other girl), she just goes through all the emotions: Thanking Buffy (but hugging Angel), then crying, then telling that guy that he was going to jail for 15,000 years... she's so funny there.

- Then the whole build up of Buffy and Angel really climaxes at the end... it was really this season when I fell for Buffy because, let face it, she gets stomped on by life over and over. She sucks it up and fights on and that's what makes her such a great character.

i'm currently rewatching season two also, and everytime i watch , i'm astounded by how good it is! Everything about it, i love. Spike and Drusilla, Buffy and Angel, xander and cordelia, willow and oz all of their arcs are amazing and enchanting to watch and jenny's murder and giles' discovery of her is one of the most disturbing scenes i've ever scene on television. There's nothing that i dislike about this season (except reptile boy!). Truly magnificent T.V. and what's more, this isn't even my favourite season of BtVS! (That honour goes to series' 3/5!)

There's nothing that i dislike about this season (except reptile boy!).

You know, I didn't care for reptile boy, myself, until I watched it again last week. There's a lot of great, entertaining things happening in that episode:

- Angel and Buffy are still trying to find their way... the whole conversation in the beginning in the graveyard is funny with Buffy trying to ask Angel out for coffee.

- Cordelia still wasn't really part of the group at this stage, so her interaction with Buffy was great. As I mentioned in my post above, she has a scene in the basement at the end of this episode that is just hilarious.

- Best scene in the episode is when Giles, Angel, and Willow find out that the fraternity is doing something to the girls. She can't hold it any longer and tells them Buffy is at the party. She so cute here and yet goes onto the offensive:

Giles: She lied to me?
Willow: Well...
Angel: Did... she have a date?
Willow: Well...
[Angel huffs]
Willow: Well, why do you think she went to that party? Because you gave her the brush-off.
Willow: <to Giles> And you never let her do anything except work and patrol. And I know she's the Chosen One, but you're killing her with the pressure. I mean, she's sixteen going on forty.
Willow: And you! <to Angel> I mean, you're gonna live forever. You don't have time for a cup of coffee?
Willow: <calmer> Okay, I don't feel better now, and we've gotta help Buffy.

oh yeah, without a doubt reptile boy has it's moments (xander in a bra anyone?😛) just like every episode of buffy, but by comparison to the rest of the series i felt it was a little bit tame and predictable. Plus the whole story felt more akin to those of series 1 than 2 for me. Still...gotta llove Cordelia.

I didn't like that moment with Xander at all! Even though he's not my top fave char, seeing him harassed and humiliated like that hit home painfully for me. 🙁

S2 will always be my favorite season of Buffy.

Spike and Dru come into the picture. Buffy and Angel start their relationship, but sadly doesn't work out. Plus, Angelus! My fave villian of all time. The season finale almost made me cry.

In my opinion, S4 is the worst.

I guess season 6 is my favourite, Worst is a far to harsh word to use. But even though I like season 1 it´s not to hard to see that it is actually the first and that they had some learning to do. But it´s not like it was bad. Wouldn´t continued watching if it was.


edit: I kind of agree but it´s still a season on it´s own. The first season of the West wing is amazing in my eyes. Should I judge that as just a intro too just because it´s the first season? Many shows peak (very) early, Buffy did not. Which I know is gonna make some people unpleased since they see s. 2 as the best. To me it has a great arc and some wonderful epsidodes but as a whole far from the best.

I could say that season 2 is my favorite and the best season.

It have a tendency to change to whatever season you watch last though...
But somehow I often comes back to season 2 as the best.

The finale of season 2 is amazing and it alone makes we want to say that it's the best season.

Well I'm almost at the end of this season, and till now I like it more than season one, so it's sure not the worse. It even made me almost cry, episode "Passion", so definitley NOT the worst season.

 

[Skanky Vamp]

Season 7 is the best in so far as I am concerned. I liked the season long story arc. I miss those Joss arcs. So much crap on TV is archless. I doan want throw away episodes. Tune in this week and you see the same crap you saw last week but with different faes. Oh, how enjoyable is that.

 

[Violette]

Definitely one of the best. Season 2 is the height of the B/A relationship and what propels the show forward. They really get into the characters' lives and emotions more in season 2, and the episodes start to get more continuous (compared to season 1). Angelus is my favourite villain, just because he's unique and very personal to Buffy. The way they did "Passion" just seems so artistic and very well done, love the Angel narrations and scene at the end. Too bad Jenny had to die so soon though, I would've loved to see her become part of the regular gang for the entire show as Giles' love interest, like how Tara and Anya became part of the regulars.

 

[GATEGOD]

So far this season is awesome. Much love.

 

[Perny]

Season two really brought the show up. It was awsome. One of the best seasons. My worst season is season 4. Except for some great episodes(Hush, something blue, and some more) it was horrible. I think it's becxause of the whole Adam, and the initiative thing. I hated it.

 

[dantesparadise]

season two is far and away my favorite season angelus is the best fictional villian ever. season four was misunderstood tho. i didn't like it when it originally aired but when i bought the season i realized (with the help of joss' commentary) that while the other seasons were like novels with a overall story and little side stories and a central theme season four was like a poem with great stand alone eps the whole adam/initiative thing was a little week but take the eps by themselves like hush, fear itself, pangs, something blue, a new man,this year's girl, primeval, and restless by themselves each of these eps are either hilarious deep or works of art. it was a season poems. i like it.

sorry i know this is the season 2 thread

 

[DarkAvenger]

this is so strange... I'm watching season 2 again. I always thought it wasn't really good but i'm loving it. i'm really loving it.

 

[MSchett]

Its definately one of my favorites but it has weak points like Go Fish...
