she goes around playing stupid jokes on people. And really, who says, "So long, coppa!"?

And that's not even addressing how inexcusable what she did to the social worker was.

I think you and Allyson are the only people I can remember being bothered by that part (I'm probably just forgetting). I am a bad person and actually enjoyed that part a lot.

And Sarah Michelle Gellar sounds like she literally phoned in her performance.

Yes.

And really, who says, "So long, coppa!"?

Heh. It didn't sound like Buffy, but Buffy does have some whimsy in her, and can be corny too, so I was okayish with that.

For me "good/interesting/important" qualifies as "enjoyable ."

Me too, but less so on a rewatch, and even less so with episodes I've already rewatched (which includes all of season 6).

But then I love watching The Body.

Me too, but in addition to finding it good/interesting/important, I find it powerful, the way I find Becoming, Dead Things, Normal Again, and Seeing Red powerful.

Wrecked? I don't find it powerful. Of course YPowerfulMV. Doublemeat Palace, As You Were, and a few others come to mind, too.

Nah, they're not. I thought it was petty and unamusing. Sure, you can take a day off from saving the world, but I much prefer her other stupid past times (like Spike's dick).

Oh I don't care for Wrecked, or Gone, or DMP (I liked AYW) but every season has a few clunkers. For me seasaon 6 is tied with Season 3 in terms of a positive Great to Clunkers ratio.

The operative words being "for me" of course.

(Heh.)

Yes, me too. I started out by saying how much I liked the season. I was another of the few who cared for AYW. I just don't find it powerful, and am not slathering over the prospect of rewatching it, despite the fact that I found it good/interesting/important the first (few) times around.

I may wait awhile to rewatch S6. I finally rewatched S2, despite having the DVDs for a year or more, along with a Buffy-neophyte and found myself enjoying it muchly. I didn't particularly care for the Romeo/Juliet doomed romance crap going on, but I still liked episodes such as "Passion." And "Becoming I/II" is still one of the best finales out there. Strips Buffy to the bone emotionally and shows us the best and worst of her. Plus, classic Spike and Dru. Makes it all worth while. My friend watching really fell for Spike and kept asking me how he and Buffy ever got together (she's caught a few reruns on FX, and she knows I read Spuffy online.) Told her she's just going to have to watch and see.

Plus, classic Spike and Dru.

I find Spike not particularly interesting until after he was crippled in What's My Line 2. Before that he seems to me a fairly typical bad guy. But once he is replaced as the Big Bad by Angel he starts to develop the depths that will make him one of my favorite Buffyverse characters in S5-7 and A5.

It seemed pretty transparent to me. She was acting up and acting out, because her life sucked. Her father ignored her. She'd just found out she wasn't real. Her mother died. The only person who seemed to really love her died, and then was dragged out of heaven, and was a depressed crank who was ignoring her and babying her.

Did you all notice that klepto!dawn it was first presented in Intervention (still my almost favorite ep)? I still remember thinking Dawn Stealing the Earrings would be Very Important, and then eventually giving up. Of course, I still feel a bit like the Love, Give, Forgive was dropped a bit, although I guess that is what happened at the end of Chosen.

Also, in rewatching Intervention for the 50 millioneth time, I am so surprised at myself at the shock WRT to Buffy's death in the Gift. I mean, the first slayer out and out says "Death is your Gift." and "Love will lead you to your gift" and yet I was never so sure of anything as I was of Buffy not dying.

Just watched about half of the season 7 episode where Willow comes back from England.

I love the scene where Willow is talking to Spike in the basement of the high school and then it shows the same conversation with Spike speaking to Buffy and Xander.
