Message: <blockquote data-quote="takyris" data-source="post: 1269437" data-attributes="member: 5171">I didn't call you a troll because you disagreed with me.  I called you a troll for numerous and sundry other reasons.  Entering a polite conversation with deliberately rude comments is trollish.  If you don't want people to call you a troll, it would be good to write in a slightly different style.  ENWorld might be the place you go to vent those antisocial feelings, but some folks here are actually trying to have polite conversations with etiquette and everything.I wouldn't want all seasons to be like Season Six, but I liked it as one season out of seven.  Good to see things go wrong, good to back away from the more and more powerful bad guys and show that powers don't make things perfect.  Putting aside "Once More With Feeling", how about:- The Halloween episode with the vampire teen that tries to defend going after Dawn to Buffy with "Well, we met at parties..."- The classic humor of the amnesia episode.- The Nerds of Doom in general, who provided much needed comic relief in the darkest hours.- Tara dying despite how powerful everyone is -- cutting right through the metaphor to show that people die no matter how in-control you are.  Life happens.  Death happens.- Giles in the season finale.- Willow and Xander in the big scene on the cliff in the finale.As for the comment about Buffy's Mom -- it got me.  It might not have gotten you, but it got many other folks.  Hit me where I lived.  Great raw intensity and a complete lack of fear about not doing the hollywood thing, not just cutting to the funeral and the pretty black dresses with a slow violin music-over.  Showing all the ugly little details.  Hugely good.And in that particular episode, Anya stole it for me.  Watching her get weirder and weirder and finally break down and show a moment of humanity under all the artificiality was a kick in the gut.  Just my opinion.  Obviously, it didn't impress you.  As I recall, it got several other people, however, so coming on with:"That Joyce. What a pain in the butt. Did anyone really care when (SPOILER!)...she died?  Didn't think so."...gives the appearance of being deliberately calculated to offend.EDIT: Judging me as a fan based on whether or not I went to your website was a nice touch. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />  Two-and-a-half stars.</blockquote>
