I will say, whatever my feelings about a particular season, it does my heart good to see that each season seems to have SOMEONE who loves it. I'm cool with that.
You'd never make it. I'd rip your spine out before you got half a step. Those little legs wouldn't be much good without one of those.

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

Whereas it just makes me wonder at the number of delusional people around.
Doesn't everyone know it's all about season 2?

I know I'm a heretic putting season one so low, but I do. WTTH/TH and PG made it all worth it, though.
Ah, it's the breakdown of the bicameral mind, as this is the point we finally differ at Cindy. My ranking would be :
1 (as good as TV has ever gotten)
2
3________Angel 1
___._____ Angel 2
6________Angel 5 (once it stopped being the Spike Show)
4________Angel 4
5
7
____________ ___________average season of Charmed
__________Angel 3 _______My Mother the Car

Wrod. Followed closely by Season 3, but still Season 2, people.

Bitch, don't you go dissing AtS 3 that hard.
Cause Craputre or no, there were NO FUCKING HORSIES KEEPING UP WITH A FUCKING MOTOR HOME.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
I liked Season 6, but it was also my first "new" season. My favorite is season 3. Thought Seasons 4 and 5 had the weakest arcs, IMO, but some of the best episodes. If I had to rate each season on "overall" quality, I'd probably do it 3, 2, 4, 1, 5, 6, 7 but even my bottom-ranked ones were still enjoyable, though 7 definitely had the highest annoyance factor between the potentials and the speechs and the FE probably being the biggest let-down as a Big Bad in the history of the series when it had the potential to be the best. (Adam probably ranks as my second-worst BB, but I wasn't expecting much out of him. He was a friggin' Frankensteinian Demon Cyborg. You just don't expect coolness there.)
I've only seen each Angel season once, so I can't really call favorites yet, though Season 3 is probably my least favorite (though I certainly don't hate it.)

My rankings
S4 AtS (Best. Season. Ever.)
S2 AtS (Close.)
S2 BtVS (Leather. Pants.)
S1 AtS (Faith. Torture. Guh.)
S3 BtVS (Faith. Subtext. Guh.)
S3 AtS (Wesley. Guh.)
S1 BtVS (So young!)
S6 BtVS (Realistic depression is rare.)
S4 BtVS (Actually, depending on my mood, swap 6 and 4.)
S7 BtVS (So much potential... sigh.)
Every single ad ever aired during BtVS and AtS, including the ones for feminine products.
S5 BtVS.
Even though S7 makes me more angry.

It was the wasted potential, and the unwasted potentials, methinks. Plus, lack of follow-through on season 6, I also guess.
But I can't forgive Angel 3 and 4 for some of the stuff you do, even for meta reasons.
And Buffy 4 is still big in my heart (it was also a big conversion-of-other-people season for me).

Honestly, AtS 4 hit my brain at its exact wavelength or something. I didn't see much that *needed* forgiving. (And I wrote CoCo pre-canon, so, you know, seemingly missing the squick bone.)
And S3, I forgive for reasons that are hella shallow.

S4 AtS (Best. Season. Ever.)
Plei, I share your love. It blew me the hell away. I hope it stands up on the rewatch. I saw "Habeas Corpses" again the other night, and I'd forgotten how kind of annoying all the jealous relationship stuff was.
I think S3 is my favorite Buffy season, followed very closely by S2. I really don't know where S1 goes, but S4 and S5 come before S6 and S7. I don't share the S5 hate, really. On the re-watch, I kind of saw what wasn't great about it, but I still liked it. And as people who hang out in Minearverse know, I'm a "Spiral" fan.
I'm going through S6 now, and I'm about to hit "Smashed" and "Wrecked" and "Gone," which should be delightful (actually, I don't remember minding "Gone" so much, invisibility is fun).
And S7, well...yeah. I was watching it at the same time as Angel S4, and there was no comparison.
