Season Seven is second only to Season Two. There were so many moments like the church scene in Beneath You that was absolute poetry, Selfless where we get to see Anya's humanity finally, Conversations with Dead People, Showtime and Dirty Girls. God even Chosen was amazing. Season 7 was like a combination of season 4 which was an entire season of stand alone eps and season 2 with a large overall arc with a legitimately scary big bad. I love Season 7. I'm mean Xander loses an eye for Godsakes!
"I've been through more battles with Buffy than you all can ever imagine. She stopped everything that's ever come up against her. She's laid down her life - literally - to protect the people around her. This girl has died *two* times, and she's still standing. You're scared, that's smart. You got questions, you should. But you doubt her motives, you think Buffy's all about the kill, then you take the little bus to battle. I've seen her heart - and this time not literally - and I'm telling you right now she cares more about your lives than you will ever know. You gotta trust her. She's earned it." -Xander
