that episode where giles turns into a demon is great. twilight would never have humor on that level.

buffy gets so dark and so funny. it's a rare combo, and only great shows pull it off.

there's more good stuff with spike coming up. originally joss wedon wanted to kill spike off in just one season, but his character was too good so they had to give him a bunch more stuff.

also the original idea for him was to have a texas accent lol

Absolutely love spike. He's got the best one liners, it's like he's on another whole level, like there's a writer just for him.

Also, don't get the Tara character. Either the actress is terrible or they told her to play her character like she was a willow clone or something. The way she speaks doesn't sound natural at all. Worst new character imo.

tara ****ing sucks. most people end up liking anya. all the writers say that spike was the most fun to write for.

you're getting close to the end of season 4. the season finale is one of the highest rated episodes, and critically acclaimed, but i didn't like it. it was maybe a bottom 5 episode for me.

i think seasons 5 and 6 are my favorites

am I supposed to believe dawn lived with buffy the entire time? is that like a whedon inside joke or what?

meh, just read the wikia wondering if there was an explanation. guess there were many hints. didn't remember at all.
also spoiled myself with something related to monks altering reality. so, yeah.. should've just stuck with this thread's answers.

Do yourself a favor and stop reading about it on the general internet. So many omgwtf moments in the last 3 seasons.

i love the crazy ass **** joss would come up with and put in that show.

xander was good in the dracula episode. i think that might have been the only episode i liked him in.

kansas, stop slacking off with your buffy watching! watch some more and give us updates.

what did you think of season 4 finale? i didn't like it much. i am surprised it's so well regarded.

there is some crap in season 5. hopefully that doesn't put you off because the good stuff in season 5 is amazingly good.

something interesting about season 5, it was their last year with whatever network they started with(upn?). their future was uncertain. most people thought season 5 was the end.

I usually watch it while i'm playing poker, I just let it open on netflix. I watched like 10 eps in a row and I only realized s04 ended after the dracula ep. I suppose the season finale is the one they kill adam, right? it was okay I guess, nothing special. I did enjoy s04 though, probably my favorite season so far.

The s4 finale was actually the dream ep after they killed adam, where buffy meets the first slayer. I didn't hate it as much as filthyvermin, but, while I appreciate the effort to go outside the typical structure, it didn't totally work for me.

Adam was far and away my least favorite big bad, and consequently s4 was my least favorite season.

i'm not really into buffy because of the bad guys tbh, I just like the funny stuff with spike, mostly. but since you are talking about them, I think I hated the mayor the most.

i started off watching buffy only when i played poker too. i was looking for a show that was stupid and i didn't really have to pay attention to. so i thought i'd try buffy. then i go totally hooked!

and yeah, that's why i was talking about the finale to season 4. it was weird. it should have been the one where they killed adam. but it was like this weird dream episode that is completely skippable.

i didn't *hate* it. i just didn't like it as much as other people seemed to. i still like even the worst episode of buffy(maybe the one where xander is on the swim team).

massive spoiler

i think the body is 16. "crush" is episode 14. that is a great episode, mostly spike stuff.

i love the final scene in like episode 7 or somewhere around there when spike meets buffy on the back porch.

a couple episodes after "the body" is "intervention". "intervention" is another one of my favorites. for me "the body" is like 4th or 5th best episode of that season, maybe around 10th-15th overall

****, opened the Netflix episode list to see which episode was next and got spoiled because the ****ing ******s placed a ****ing huge spoiler in the first line of an ep description.
Watched crush today. Really don't like the whole spike obsession for buffy, he's become pathetic. Really can't handle another minute of him asking buffy if she'll be ever able to love him.
Looks like the next ep is about a female robot with feelings. That can't be good.
I like glory.
