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

"The Pack" was on tonight. My goodness. Poor Principal Flutie.
Oh, and, too many Potentials spoils the broth. It was like "Forget all the years you've spent with all these characters. See? Happy bouncy teenaged girls! Kicking butt! That's why you watch this show, right? Oh, yeah, and the sexy blond guy without a shirt stashed in the basement, occasionally chained to a wall. Wink wink."

Sporadically secret reply/question: You mean a "bands that played a song during an episode" soundtrack or a "background music suites from various episodes" soundtrack? Or perhaps that's not known yet?

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Ken knows I will back him with the huge S4 love. Best season ever.
Again I would rank them 4,2,7,6,5,3,1.
See, I love season 4, but it is behind season 3 in my estimation. Which is why your order does not compute for me. Mine is 3,4,2,7,6,1,5. With 7, 6, and 1 being a tough call, and 4 and 2 being a similar tough call. Why is season 3 so far down (or 1 for that matter)?
Or did this come up before? I suspect it did, but it's late. And actually, away to bed I am, so adieu!

an overblown libretto and a sumptuous score/ could never contain the contradictions I adore
I cannot rank. Well, I can, but not well. I love Season Three the best, and all the others are a big mishmash of slightly less love.

Hum. Ranking them is difficult for me-- partly because I only got into the show when we'd already reached season 6.
Generally, then I think I go: 6, 2, 4, 1, 5-7-3. The last three are hard to choose between.

Nobody
3-2-4-6-5-7-1 or sometimes
3-2-6-4-5-7-1
Actually - 4, 5, and 6 are sort of interchangeable. It depends on my mood, I think. I do like Forever. I like the homage to The Monkey Paw. I also find it generally cathartic. The Body hurts you and then Forever lets you mourn. YYouMV.
I watched The Yoko Factor last night. In a very odd way, I think Angel and Buffy's scene in her dorm hallway might be my favorite Angel/Buffy scene. Now I never got annoyed by B/A, because I didn't find the show until after season 3 was underway. I didn't find them tedious. I worried that when DB left, I'd lose interest in the show, and not because of the random hottie factor, just because I liked the conflict inherent in their relationship.
edited to add...
I also watched New Moon Rising. I'd forgotten what a good episode it was. There was so much controversey at the Bronze at the time, that it because an important! episode! in the fandom. I forgot how much sweet pain was in it. Really lovely.

I don't know why I rank 3 so low. I just don't. I mean it had Faith and the Mayor but still not high for me. 1 is last because I wasn't a huge fan of the standalones, but then again S2 had many as well, but the whole Angelus thing bumps it up really quick. S1 was just too short for me and I wish we could have had more of the first year of Buffy and co.
