I am tempted, because the boxes to mine are in pretty rough shape. But, I need other things more.
I was stuck without netflix, cable, or company for most of this long weekend, and I have watched all of Buffy Season Two, except becoming 1 and 2. I am in a Buffy coma. Season Two is not historically one of my favorites, I came into the show late (season Five), was very much a Spike girl, I thought Angel was a big doofus. But I have to say, wow! That season packed a lot of punch, and had a lot going on, in a good way. I am not sure why they couldn't have dealt with all the people in Season Six that well. For goodness sake, there is Buffy, Angel , Willow, Xander, Cordelia, Giles, Jenny, Oz, Angel/Angelus, Spike, Drusilla, Ethan, Kendra, and Joyce, all to balance, along with all of the MOTW's-- and I felt like everything was well done (except the accents-- they continued to be horrible)
I'm also a big Spike fan, but I still think that Season 2 is the most perfect season of television created. there have been other great story lines or individual episodes, but S2, especially from Surprise to Becoming 2 always grabs me every single time.
Season 2 is definitely my favorite as well. I love it so much. I think I watch Becoming I & II every 3 months or so.
I should note: not a Spike fan. Never warmed up to him.
See, I am a little ashamed, but normally, I sort of like Season Four the best, at least based on rewatches. Mostly I rewatch Pangs, Something Blue, Hush, Restless and Intervention (Season Five). But watching Season two this time made me a little sad that I couldn't have seen it without knowing almost everything that happened, cause that could have been some major HSQ!
I've been trying to rewatch Buffy, but I got to the first episode of Season Two, and Buffy puts on her "My life is very difficult" face, and all I could think was "Oh, suck it up, already." I still love the characters and the stories, but I think I've gotten too old to appreciate the trauma of high school.
Season 1 is still my sentimental favorite, though I think the big mid-to-late Season 2 arc is probably technically the best run of episodes.
Wallybee and I are about halfway through Season 2 now. I haven't given her any hint of what's to come from Surprise/Innocence onwards.
Thanks, sj! I just bought myself a Christmas present. Yay!

You may catch up to The Boy and I; we're in S3, maybe 4 episodes in. We've met Faith, and nekkid!Angel has fallen from the sky.
Since the first episodes I showed The Boy were The Wish and Dopplegangland, he knew that Angel would be back after the end of S2, but I still didn't spoil him for all the pain of Surprise/Innocence and the rest of S2.
Well, okay, it's possible I prefaced every episode with, "Get ready for BIG PAIN!" But that's all.
