    Season 4 I didn't like so much overall. I thought the main plot was stupid and it has the dullest character ever.

    That's the death I was talking about. AWESOME.

    The next principal is one of my favorite characters. He's all fun and games.

    Dull indeed. I actually dug The Initiative and Adam as an idea, but it was never properly executed. I do enjoy the way it was wrapped up in the episode "Primeval", even though the pacing is rushed. Although it ranks in the bottom half of my season rankings, it has 3 of my Top 10 episodes in it (Hush, Who Are You?, Restless). It's by no coincidence those three episodes have little to nothing to do with the main story arc of the season.

    It's a mixed bag, that Season 4.

    She's a babe. We call her Jenny.

    Interesting fact: the actress playing Jenny was 27 in the first season, while Nicky Brennan (Xander) was 26.

    She's only in two episodes (I, Robot... You, Jane and Prophecy Girl.) She's a bigger player in the second season.

    I'm considering making a top 35 list of episodes. If I really want to write a Faith paper (and I think I might) I could use the review.

    (Be sure to watch the scene after the credits, KF, if it's on the Hulu version.)
    This was fantastic. Thanks for the notice. Willow running off stage was hilarious.

    If Nightmares didn't have such a lame conclusion, it would have been one of my favorite episodes in the first season.

    There are some good moments, for sure. The show explores a similar theme, but with more mythology and a great deal more budget, at the end of season 4.

    Oh Man, there are a couple of shows I could possibly do this with.

    I'd read it! I didn't like Faith when she first came on to the scene, but after seeing the whole show and story arc, I quite appreciate her role in the series. I also felt this way about Anya and Riley.

    To be honest, after seeing the whole gamut of the show I can also appreciate the reason for Riley. It's not his fault he was dull - that was the point. I will not defend the casting choice, though. A better actor could have at least made the character sympathetic. I liked Faith from day one. Anya took me some warmup time, but she became one of my absolute favorite characters. She was also one of the most well-written characters on the show.

    No "The Body"? I'm astonished. That's my number 1. And I'm not a huge fan of "The Pack." Other than that, excellent picks.

    I finished season one last night, but Val now wants to catch up and watch the rest of the series with me, so it may be a week or so before I start on season two.

    Heh. I liked her dress.

    It was very good. Good enough that I'm committed to the show through at least season three. I already grabbed season two from my sister. Loved that the prophecy was fulfilled. I was wondering how they were going to pull that off.

    Why does your family hate you?

    I stopped watching Buffy during season 5. Thought it was too melodramatic and Glory too lame a villain.

    I was only about 17 back then, but I really don't feel like revisiting the show.
