TARDIS


Someone suggested five but I thought of more. Agree/Disagree?

1: I love every season of the show, including the much maligned Seasons 6 and 7. Season 5 is my favourite.
2: The Movie doesn't suck. It's no masterpiece but it doesn't suck either.
3: The Season 8 comics are great but the Angel Season 6 ones are patchy at best.
4: Buffy should've dusted Spike after he attempted to rape her in Seeing Red.
5: I hated Wesley shooting that guy in the knee in A Hole In The World. I know he was freaking out about Fred but even still.
6: Andrew should've died in Conversations With Dead People. I find the character repugnant.
7: Tara shouldn't have died full stop. Amber Benson also should've had her name in the credits since the start of Season 5.
8: Giles and Xander should've played bigger roles in Season 7
9: Spike shouldn't have been added to Angel's fifth season.
10: All of Buffy's signature relationships were either toxic (Angel, Spike) or not interesting (Riley).
11: The Gift is still my fave Buffyverse story. The Girl In Question however is horrible beyond comprehension.
12: Faith would've been better for Angel's fifth season. That season was lacking interesting females.
13: Illyria wrecks my head. I love Amy Acker but the character does nothing for me.
14: Angel's relationships with Cordy and Darla were more interesting than his one with Buffy.
15: In Chosen we should've seen more than Ubervamps in the Hellmouth.
16: Instead of Normal Again, we should've had a Human Nature type of a storyline in Buffy's sixth season.

Popular shouldn't always take the front seat to taste or storytelling. Having said that, I love gossipy rants more than I should. I agree wholeheartedly with 8, 10 (some misguided "sex is either bad or boring" motif fostered those relationships) and 14 (Cordy, in all her sweet bitchiness, and Darla, in her full on psychopath were "grown-ups" whereas Buffy was not; hell, even Dru was more interesting that Buffy ---- way, way more interesting).

WORD that every season is a masterpiece, and Angel's relationships with Cordy and Darla being more interesting than the one with Buffy. I think B/A were the kind of high school romance that an unrealistic teenager thinks will last forever, but in the end both partners get a life on their own and end up with someone better for them.

Though I love Andrew and The Girl In Question is the guiltiest pleasure of all (gay subtext much?:)

Thanks for your opinions, nice to know I'm not alone in thinking certain things.

I don't think Buffy's been put in a relationship that's done her any emotional maturity as well.
