Hate "Life Serial" - except the Mummy Hand. Probably my least favorite S6 episode. Which is interesting because S6 has by far the highest number of completely polarizing episodes: Wrecked, Seeing Red, Gone, As You Were.
Now we're saving a vampire from vampires. I got two words for that -- Nuh and uh.

This is where we talk about Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No spoilers though?if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it. This thread is NO LONGER NAFDA. Please don't discuss current Angel events here.

Put in the the loved "Life Serial" camp. Funny, funny stuff. Plus, kittens!

I think they took a lot more risks in Season 6 than in any other since Season 2, and the latter was of such uniformly good quality that almost all the fans fell to the loved side of the loved it/hated it spectrum.
All in all, I tend to prefer that they shoot for the moon and have a spectacular failure than see them playing it safe and becoming dull and boring*. Even the magic crack and Actual Car Crash were preferable to 12 hours of Buffy giving pompous speeches to a houseful of nameless interchangeable girls while Andrew walked around with a neon "Übernerd" sign flashing over his head.
* This is almost always true except in the case of the abomination perpetrated upon Cordelia in Angel Season 3, which so enraged me that if "Provider" had aired before "Waiting in the Wings" Joss would have lost me as a viewer at least until everyone told me that Angelus was coming back in "Awakening."

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Buffy gagging every time she has a drink whether it's on screen or off? Hee-larious.
Yeah, that was funny. But see, I remember really liking "Life Serial" when I first saw it. Maybe I'm just in a bad mood today, but it felt so interminably long. It does have its amusing bits.
Watched "Once More, With Feeling" for the first time since it aired. Amber Benson has a fantastic voice, wow.

Strawberry disappointment.
I really liked season six.

As do many, myself included. Among general fandom S6 is a lowpoint. Among discriminating hardcore fans S5 is the least liked. Or that's just my opinion, then I backed it with imaginary fan support while stenciling "discriminating" on my forehead.

All is well that ends in pizza.
I'm testing out a new website that has 100 MB free web space.
I've uploaded my original "chosen" screencaps to try it out. If this works, I may be able to keep more caps online at a time and reference them from my main website.
I think they look dark. And orange. It could be my monitor.
ION? I may have found a way to screencap again. Especially since I'm less insane from the uncontrolled diabetes thing.
Oh, and here they are.

Even in light of Season 7, in its fullness? I'm certainly hardcore. I can approximate discriminating.

I know I'm a heretic putting season one so low, but I do. WTTH/TH and PG made it all worth it, though.

Yep.
S7 was more of a let-down, but S5 was worse.
