Aurilia would taste delicious with some jam on him. Maybe some peanut butter?

I didn't like Fred dying.

And what they replaced the character with was kind of dumb.

Of course, I really didn’t like much of the fifth season. Or the seventh season of Buffy for that matter.

I didn't think it was bad that she died

I thought it was bad that it only took half an episode. Totally ungratifying.

What I did like, however

Was the resolution of the Conner story arc. Well, I mean Angel’s sacrifice. He made what was the most difficult choice a father could make.

That was amazing

And completely out of left field. Possibly the most gratifying episode of the whole series.

I liked seventh season of Buffy A LOT more than sixth season of Buffy.

I thought Angel’s fifth season was it;s best in a lot of ways. And WAY better than season 4. Angel season 4 = teh suck. Angel season 4 season finale = AWESOME.

Really

I can’t talk to you any more.

So what I will do is talk to nobody in particular. And then just happen to say something else to no one in particular that just happens to answer anything you said.

So, to nobody in particular, I hated Buffy season seven. I mean, I really hated it. I hated the First. I hated the First’s sidekick, Captain Reynolds (or whoever he was). I hated the “uber” vampires (especially when during the series finale these things that were kicking Buffy’s butt are suddenly being fought by Giles and freakin’ Anya. There’s a lot more to hate but I am going back to paying attention to the Giants now.

Oh

I don’t disagree about anything you’ve mentioned. Buffy season 7 had some serious problems, a bunch of which have to do with recurring Whedon gripes that I have. It was just WAY better than season 6. It was funny again. I loved seeing the Mayor. D. B. Woodside’s character was really good. The Jonathan arc had a satisfying ending. Spike had a good storyline. It had a lot going for it and a lot going against it.

Season 6 was just so hard to watch.

Eh

I liked the evil trio. I’m more indifferent about season 6 than anything else. It was kind of hard to follow season five. I mean, where do you go after you had your character defeat a god?

Season 6 for me

It was emotionally abrasive at every opportunity and visually abrasive to boot (weird ass CONSTANT red filter). It wasn’t as funny. Xander was fat. It had some of the worst written AND directed episodes of the series. Dawn went from regular annoying to kill me annoying…

I could go on…

Glory and Dawn

were absolutely fucking unwatchable.

Dawn had the most annoying scream/squeal, and was the only teenager on that to act like one (except maybe Cordelia, but she was entertaining at times).

by kaliber on Apr 24, 2008 8:51 PM PDT to parent up reply reply   0 recs

I HATED season 5 when it was airing, but I like it a lot more in subsequent viewings. I was surprised how much Glory grew on me, even. Dawn was always an awful addition. Michelle Trachtenberg is one of the top 5 annoying people in the world.

The only reason I’m watching the box score instead of listening to Gameday Audio is… I told myself I’d be going to bed pretty soon after the game started.
