And yes, S7 is probably the worst Buffy/Angel season EVER. Everyone is so out of character, the episodes are boring as heck (there was like five where they didn't even leave the house), it was cheap looking, Spike was supposed to be the "hero"

S1 is kind of slow...mostly just mystery of the weeks. S2 builds and S3 with the Connor/Wes drama is amazing. S4 is the most epic season imo and is one of the
best Buffy/Angel seasons ever. S5 is good, better than 5 but not as strong as the 3 seasons before.

Season 7 of Buffy started out great, though after the episode Showtime, where Buffy slays the Turok Hahn (Uber Vamp) things went downhill quickly. Once in
awhile a good episode turned out but things didn't start picking back up until the last five episodes. Basically everything in between Showtime and Dead
Girls felt like a filler.

Is anyone reading the Season 8 comic book series?

I just started with the first volume (aka the first 5 comics). I finished it in like 30 minutes. Lol.

You should continue to read on. The current arc(Retreat) is pretty darn good.

I still find it funny that the villain/Big Bad in Season 8 is "Twilight". Take that Stephanie Meyer.

Why did they kill Anya in the end but they let people like Dawn, Faith, the Principal, Kennedy and other useless characters that didnt really have much
character build until the end, over Anya? Crap.

Anya claimed she wanted to leave the show so she insisted her character be killed.

I'm not feelign the current arc in the cmic. Surprising since it's Jane writing it. Maybe the presence of Oz is killing it a bit for me. I'm glad
though that (issue 30)

As for why Anya, it pretty much had to be her. Joss said he wasn't going to get rid of any of the original 4 because there's no way to have a happy ending. Faith was in line for a spinoff. Joss felt there needed to still be a significant death. My guess is that it was between Dawn and Anya. In terms of connections to other characters, Dawn dying would've made any semblence of Buffy being happy they survived completely wrong, so it had to be Anya. They also killed off Amanda, the potential slayer who had the most background (we knew she was a student/somewhat friend of Dawn; it wasn't like she was a nobody that just showed up). |

I'm horrible, I came to Buffy and watched seasons 1-3 on TV, and then fell out w/ watching TV in general for a couple of years. Later, I picked up the
DVD's, and rewatched seasons 1-5. I let season 5 be the end for me, as I heard mostly complaints about season 6 and season 7. I have seen a few episodes
from seasons 6 and 7, but to me, Buffy ended when Buffy died.
I too heard the same thing about Anya being killed off for the same reasons as PJ said. I would really love for a tell all about Buffy to come out someday and tell us all what really went on behind the scenes. It would be a best seller. |

I know most people hated the episodes "Gone" and "Double Meat Palace" but I found the episodes to be hilarious. To This day I can watch
thos episodes and continue to LOL at moments. Especially DOuble Meat Palace, if you ever worked fast food you find humor in the whole situation.
Gone was hilarious because of everything going on in the episode, the social worker showing up and finding the "magic wheat" and believing it was pot. And then Buffy making the social worker think she was insane by messing with her while invisible. |

All 7 seasons of Buffy were good -- they were just all different. S6 was dark and depressing because it was SUPPOSED to be that way. Buffy's life sucked.
BtVS was by far the most consistently interesting TV show ever. The fact that we're still talking about it 5 years after it was cancelled proves that!

^yeah Season 6 I really liked for characters other than Buffy because they got more story time and had the opportunity to fight and do stuff on their own which
was a great character build, though I didnt like seeing Buffy so wierd and almost "gross"? ha Buffy wasnt my favorite character that season but the
other seasons I loved her.
That is very interesting about Anya, I'm kind of surprised that she didnt want any spin-off deals since she really hasnt done much other than this. I still wish that Dawn or Faith would have died instead of Anya but it is what it is. I think that had they have killed one of the 4 original characters, like Xander, then that episode could have been possibly the most dramatic/most insane/best episode ever to be aired on television of any show ever. |

I love season 6 but I agree the Buffy drama dragged and was depressing to see. Ew and her and Spike was so wrong...all of it. The writers had such an
infatuation with him when she should have been staked seasons ago
My fave season is 4 I think...I loved Buffy adjusting to college, Giles being left out, the Halloween episode, Thanksgiving episode, the Initiative, Riley, the introduction of Tara and of course..Hush, the dream episode etc. |

And as for spin-offs, I think they said Faith the Vampire Slayer was proposed to Eliza but she turned it down

Somebody actually likes/d Riley? Say it ain't so.... he was the most annoying & boring character ever... even when he was "cheating" on
Buffy with the vamp-ho he was boring.
