Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I was shocked to see that season one got the most votes for least favorite season?!
Proabbly because people don't really remember it, so it's easy to put it there. I know that's why I did it.
And I think Giles and Jenny were grown-ups, with a grown-up relationship -- which yes, would have included The Sex at some point. But it rang false to me that Xander never slept with Cordy, given how physical their relationship was and that Cordy dated a LOT of guys and apparently wasn't a virgin before "Expecting." So I'm probably insane anyhow.
and Tom Lenk is a cutie.

Let me just say that popularity with people on public transportation does not equal literary respect. --Jesse
But they were in high school. A lot of high schoolers do major "heavy petting" but don't go all the way. It seemed reasonable to me.

I put S6 in last, because I still hate the direction it took, but I think the reason S1 ended up there overall instead of, say, S6 or S7 is that the later seasons have vocal defenders to balance it out, while I've never heard of anyone who thinks S1 is the Best Evah.
(IIRC, I voted S2, S3, S4, S5, S7, S1, S6. S7 jumped ahead of S1 by going out with a bang.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I very much got the impression they were rounding in on that. And I don't think the grown-up and The Sex are mutually dependent.

It wouldn't surprise me if Xander was doing things with the promises of future reward(s) that, if they were delivered upon, were delivered infrequently. Given that it's Queen C we're talking about.

I think Matt the Bruins Fan is in this camp.

Yeah, I realized after posting that I probably shouldn't have said "never." Because there's always a counterexample. You'd think I'd learned that after almost four years of Married Arguments, if nothing else...

All is well that ends in pizza.

Their kind of adult relationship would have included The Sex.
ETA: I ment that in the Rupert/Jenny one, the sex was going to be part of the adult relationship.

At some point, yes. But I don't think they were there yet before she died.
