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.
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

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.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
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.

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.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Heh. I dunno; I think Whedon-inflicted, S2 pain was a little too painful for him at times.
But I think he has a man-crush on Oz, now.

Then he must get ready for MORE PAIN!

Though not as much as Joss once intended. I'd add a "thankfully" but I liked Tara a whole hell of a lot too.
