See, right here: Leopard cowboy hat. Totally not making it up.

Buffy and Angel 1: BUFFYNANGLE4EVA!!!!!1!
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've decided to go back and rewatch seasons 4, 5, 6 and 7. On rewatch, they hold up better than I thought.
The Gentlemen remain the scariest villains of the Buffyverse.
God help me, I still like Spike.

I've found that even seasons I didn't like as much at first work better when I can go from ep to ep without continual hiatuses intruding. Season 7 especially. Because there's less of a feeling that nothing happened and now I have to wait weeks for nothing more to really happen.
I don't know if it's time or my own emotional place that makes it all seem much more cohesive. Hindsight improves a lot of the parts I didn't care for.
I don't think I'll ever know, as I can only work up the motivation to rewatch "Conversations with Dead People" and "Chosen" out of that season.
Season 5 will never ever work for me, but there are some great high points in the others. I did not hate 7.
Cashmere, I'm doing a rewatch also.
We are 2/3rds of the way through Season 4. I must admit, I skipped "Beer Bad." I just couldn't rewatch that one. I think Riley as a character is still problematic. I can see why he irritated me the first time around because, IMO, he wasn't written that consistently. This is not quite as bad as Maggie Walsh's sudden hate on for Buffy, but I understand that the actress had to leave so this might have been the best they could do to wrap up her storyline, but dang.
I skipped "Beer Bad"
But it's got "foamy" and I still love Buffy hitting Parker over the head with a log. And Willow mocking Parker is always a good time. And Xander playing his version of a good, empathetic bartender.
Also, "Giles, please don't make cave-slayer angry!"
I love "Beer Bad", it's funny and highly quotable.
