Buffybot ,'Dirty Girls'
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.
Whenever I do re-watches, I get to Season 6 and lose the will to put the DVDs in the machine.
Tim had never seen Buffy, so we started watching from S1 when we were dating. And we hit S6 and have just stalled out. I'm okay with stopping there, because I know what happens. But he wants to watch it all, so I just keep delaying.
I only started watching Buffy recently. I remember being so excited to get to S6 because of the musical.
There was a fair amount of cringing and confusion after Tabula Rasa.
I am one of the anti-cringers, I loved season 6. It represented so much of my effed up 20s to me, it was nice to see some validation that I wasn't the only one.

I loved S6 originally. Some bits were a little more cringe worthy on rewatch though, but I still like it as a season. I really didn't like much of S7 when it aired originally, but I think it holds up much better on re-watch.
I have to deal with depression enough in real life; it was really no fun to slog through season 6 showing it as well. (although the musical is and always will be sheer brilliance.)

ha! what a wonderful description.
I gotta say, yet again, that S7 will still never be in my top 3, but it's definitely a season that improves on rewatch (and yay, I am here in company with sj, always a good place to be!). Just being able to mainline the entire thing at once instead of wait 3-6 weeks in between practically every damn episode helps hugely.
JZ, okay, that will be my beacon of hope after we start in on Season 6. I believe I have never rewatched that season save for the musical and the 2-part finale so this should be interesting.

This. The ability to mainline and have some continuity really helps me.
Well, I don't want to harsh anyone's enjoyment of Season 7, so I won't go off on a rant of all the things that just drive me beserk about it. I will say that I laugh every time I see Dawn get paralayzed by Gnarl in "Same Time, Same Place," and "Him" is funny ("Buffy, get off the boy"), "Conversations With Dead People" is good, except for Dawn's screaming (I don't think anyone ever taught Michelle Trachtenberg how to scream and speak at the same time), and there are a few funny moments in "The Killer In Me" when the gang is trying to figure out whether or not Warren is really Willow. "Storyteller" has a couple of amusing moments. And I love the finale. (Also, this list makes it look as though all I appreciate about Buffy are the funny parts, and that's not true.)
