I liked this Season better than Season 4, but it was definitely not the best. I guess I'm the only one who is going to vote for "Showtime"...

I almost did. I really thought the showdown between Buffy and the Ubervamp with the potentials watching was very well done. I just liked "Lies My Parents Told Me" a little bit more.
 

"Beneath you" I love this episode. I would've gotten the Spike figure based on the episode if he didn't have a totally blank look on his face. My favorite quote is something like:
Buffy:"Spike, you're crazy!"
Spike: Kinda lucid during his rambling, "Um yeah, where have you been?"

I'll go with Storyteller. I don't really understand all the Season 7 hate. The only thing I hated about it was knowing it was the last season of a great show. Given all the sad and depressing plotlines leftover from Season 6 that they had to wrap up, I 'm not sure how they could have done things differently...

I felt the writing in season 7 wasn't nearly as sharp. In the previous season, it felt like the shows got a lot of rewrites and a lot of polish until the script was juuuuuust right. A lot of season 7 seemed "good enough."

IOW, it's not that it was bad, it's that it didn't match the previous standards.

PS
 

I thought season 7 was too static. It was about the first evil all the time, they were at Buffy's home all the time... I mean, compare it to season 5, where we had a fairly demanding main evil, as well, and still we got monsters of the week, different locations, etc.

And I'm not gonna go into
a) the Giles-beheading stunt they did without really paying it off
b) the stupid concept of slayers-in-training (because neither Buffy nor Faith had been approached by Watchers before her calling).

Kendra was given to her watcher as a small child. She barely remembered her parents.

Ah, but that's Kendra. Me Kendra, me no friends. :) Also, her village had an old tradition of tribal protecter, IIRC. I just think it's silly that the watcher's council would go and train all those girls when recent history had shown their predictions of who'd become a new slayer to be incorrect twice in five years.

To say nothing about the fact that this concept was pulled out of nothing, Kendra notwithstanding.
 

I was thinking about this thread today and then I got to ranking the seasons in my head. For me the Seasons would go like this:

Season 3 (The Wish, Doppelgangland, The Zeppo, Earshot, Grad Day I & II)
Season 2 (BB&B, Passion, What's My Line I & II, The Dark Age)
Season 5
Season 1
Season 6
Season 7
Season 4

I don't know why, but Season 4 is just the weakest for me. The Initiative and Adam plotlines did nothing for me...
