Is it better the second time around? Or the third? Or tenth? This is the place to come when you have a burning desire to talk about an old episode that was just re-run.

I wanted to stop and pick it up on my home today, but my regular comics shop is usually a madhouse on Wednesdays and very rarely has everyone's picks ready. I'll stop by tomorrow and pick it up then.

You know, I looked at the episodes of S3, and it doesn't even have that great a beginning. There isn't a great episode until "Billy," which is right before the good Darla stuff, and then there are five episodes that kinda sorta suck, though "Waiting in the Wings" is decent fun, and then the rest of the season (with the exception of "Double or Nothing," of course, is pretty awesome).
So, overall, season three, not so hot.
Okay, "Carpe Noctem" was fun. Body swap episodes are generally a hoot.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
One of the joys (and massive pitfalls) of fandom is that one person's best ep is another person's eh. And vice versa. There are the rare few we can all generally accept as the most brilliant and the ones that didn't work.
Ah, fandom.
I liked Lilah with her scar. Decapitation is ... well, not funny - but damn it worked for me.

I feel like we should be talking about it in here. I mean, I know we should be talking about it in there, but you know...

YES! Well yesterday, now. My shop was sold out. I got my two copies, because I reserved them, but it sold right out.

Conversely, I thought "Heartthrob" was the best season opener of the series' entire run, loved "That Vision Thing" and "Carpe Noctem," and didn't really think the suck set in until "Fredless" (hated the ep despite loving the Burkles).

I thought "Heartthrob" was the best season opener of the series' entire runI'd put "Heartthrob" second, after "Deep Down." I didn't like it at the time, though.
But a lot of S3 episodes are horrible. Absolutely horrible. I don't know if I'd say that even half of them could be described as "good." It is my favorite season because of the arc, which is like an awesome demolition derby. I'd never claim it was the best season.

"Heartthrob" was actually the reason I found TWoP. I don't think I actually saw it until I bought the DVDs.

Just to remind people, there is Buffy discussion in our "Other Media" thread (formerly known as Jossverse in Other Media). Also, I've recapped issue one of the BtVS Season 8 comic, in my LJ. [link] Warning. It contains full comic spoilers for the current issue.
