Message: <blockquote data-quote="Michael Tree" data-source="post: 902452" data-attributes="member: 1455">I find it difficult to rate the seasons overall, because some of my favorite episodes were during seasons where I hated the overall story arc.2 - The best overall story arc, best Big Bad, best clever dialogue, and tied for best dramatic storytelling and acting with Season 5.  Because of that, I'll forgive it some stinker episodes and truly uninspired monsters-of-the-week.5 - Glory was probably my seconld least favorite Big Bad (after Adam), but this season had several of my favorite episodes (The Body, Fool for Love, and Shadow, the episode that actually turned Riley into an interesting character), and felt the most coherent to me.3 - Unlike many of the other Big Bads, the Mayor wasn't actively irritating, but he wasn't especially interesting either.  I have mixed feelings about Faith (largely because I work in a psychiatric hospital, and meet people like her all the time).  Not a great season, but not a bad one either, just a good solid one).1- Sure it was silly, and didn't have the great drama that later seasons had, but it was the first one, and had some of the best dialogue in the whole series.6 - The season started off great, with several dramatic and hillariously funny episodes (the musical, Life Serial, Tabula Rasa), but became far too angsty and despondent.  Unlike many, I loved the three geeks and their silly comedic episodes.  Warren is probably my second favorite Big Bad, since he was so utterly realistic and horrifying, and Darth Rosenberg was pretty nasty too, particularly while killing Warren.4 - Did anyone really care about Riley, Adam, or the Initiative?  This season had Restless and Hush, two of my favorite episodes, and the first third of the season has some great funny episodes, but that's about it.  This would probably be my least favorite season, except that it has a lot of great dialogue, which season 7 lacked.7 - The final season had some good moments, and got off to a good start, but dragged way too much in the second half of it, which commited the terrible crime of not being funny.  The clever dialogue and wit of the final episode made me realize just how much I missed that, and how much this season was lacking.  It still had some great episodes (the finale, Him, Conversations with Dead People, Lies my Parents Told Me), and the First and Caleb were interesting Big Bads, but they don't make up for the lack of humor, direction, or even personal drama.</blockquote>
