Which of the seven seasons of Buffy is your favorite?
The first, in which Buffy comes to a new school, makes friends with Willow and Xander, meets Giles the creepy English librarian fellow, and goes up against the Master?
The second, in which Buffy worries about the Master returning from the grave, keeps Spike and Dru in line, meets a new slayers, gives herself to Angel before kicking his ass, and is framed for murder?
The third, in which Buffy starts thinking about her life after school, meets the new slayer, sees new slayer kill a fellow, Willow makes a wish, Anya joins the cast, Buffy kicks new slayer's butt, and gets entire grade to face off against some weird immortal slug dealy?
The fourth, in which Willow realizes she's gay, everybody ends up in college except for Xander, everybody loses their voices, Buffy meets and dates Riley, Faith wakes up, Spike gets a chip, Buffy faces off against Adam, and everybody dreams about some creepy cheese-man?
The fifth, in which Buffy finally gains a sister, loses a mother, beats Dracula up, gets chased by a Goddess, meets a nice guy in a hospital, finds out nice guy is the evil goddess, forgets nice guy is evil goddess, then remembers again, and dies?
The sixth, in which she gets ripped out of hell, sings a few songs about it, goes up against her greatest challenge ever (three geeks in their mother's basement), Willow goes off the deepend with magic, loses Tara, gets Tara back, loses Tara again, goes crazy and tries to destroy the world?
The seventh, which revolved around the hell-mouth, the opening of a seal, some uber-vamps, Spike learning to live with a soul, dead people talking from beyond the grave, and the gathering of potentials to join the war against the First evil?
Take your pick.

I voted for all but seven. One was cheesy, but it was fun. Then two through four ROCKED. Five and six were more grown-up. Five had a lot of downer episodes, but they were well-placed and gave the characters a lot more story. Six had the Trio and Evil Willow
Seven was so-so. I didn't like the Slayerettes, I didn't like the idea of the First being the Big Bad--how can you beat it? And if you somehow manage to beat it, what's next? If evil is vanquished, where do you go from there? I also HATED Kenedy.
"Man is a marvelous curiosity ... he thinks he is the Creator's pet ... he even believes the Creator loves him; has a passion for him; sits up nights to admire him; yes and watch over him and keep him out of trouble. He prays to him and thinks He listens. Isn't it a quaint idea." Mark Twain
Kennedy was awful. Whoever thought it'd be a good idea to match Willow up with a horny teenager should be shot. Repeatedly!
It's hard not to sort of like season 7, though. There are many good episodes, and lots of great jokes. I personally just don't think the story arc was cool enough.
Better the second time around though.

Once again, Gabo and I are in complete agreement. Kennedy was a lipstick lesbian at best and the acting was tottaly lame. Willow was using her as a reound... I guess...
Totally a rebound relationship. They should've had a scene where you see her die horribly. So horribly that you can't forget it... As it is, I don't remember seeing her die at all

2,3 and 6 for me! Means I get Spike and Dru, The Scoobies still at school and all innocent, Angel dies, Faith, "Band Candy", The Mayor, "Once More With Feeling" and Evil Willow! Yay!
