Strawberry disappointment.

I really liked season six.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

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.

Now knows how Hec has me cross-ref'd in his files...

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.

In the end—arcs and dropped threads (of both seasons) aside—I found season 5 more entertaining to watch—more enjoyable. That said, I do think they suffered from the same sort of arc mismanagement, but in season 7, the characters were somehow lesser to me. I haven't yet watched season 7 again. That's unusual for me. Usually after season bows, I rewatch it all over the summer, and then assorted episodes again, thereafter. I like the overall story told in both seasons. I think the plot development was poor in both seasons.

I still felt like I was watching my characters in season 5. Within season five, I'll thumbs up episodes 1 through 7, 10 through 19, and 22 (I think that's 18 out of the 22). Within season seven, I can thumbs up 1 through 5, 7, 15 through 17, 19, 22 (I think that's 11 out of 22).

All in all, I'd take The Replacement, Fool for Love, Checkpoint, Crush, I Was Made to Love You, The Body, Forever, Intervention, Intervention, Intervention, and The Gift, over pretty much everything in season 7, except Beneath You, and Conversations with Dead People.

In retrospect, if Fool for Love had never freaking happened, I think Fandom would have been a much better place.

Fandom ruined that for me in a way that it never ruined Seeing Red.

Turning point for a lot of people from Spike fans to Spike Woobification Apologists.
