Yes, not least because the geeky grad student had a certain charm.
They still had a few flashes of this in season 5, all though mainly the "do experiments on them" line in THE REPLACEMENT.
Which also, coincidentally or not, had the "she doesn't love me" and "they're not recycling" lines as well. Riley's last hurrah.
Also unreasonably fond of "No sir, no more chick pit for you."
Also "Cow Me" and "You throw like a girl". Great days.
I've been watching S5, too, and am finding it better on rewatch in some ways. The thing that struck me was just how angry Buffy is for a good part of S5. And, I'm talking about pre-The Body, and even pre-Riley leaving. She's just so angry and bitter. I think that's where my dislike for the season has remained. Glory/Ben don't even bug as much as they did the first time. Well, Glory still bugs some, but not as bad.
t Stupid Question
Was there a reason the Potentials didn't just wait out in the hall while Willow worked the spell,
then
went down to the basement?

You mean in "Chosen"? Well, I guess they wanted to give Buffy backup...or, uh, I guess they could have waited for everyone to get their superslayer powers before going down in the first place.
Um...something about it being more dramatic.
Yeah, I know. Made it cool. Damn me for picking too hard! It's just my nature.
I can't really be crying through Chosen
again
can I?
I wonder if the appeal of early Riley might be due to the writers giving him lines that might have otherwise have gone to Oz
Man, the featurettes are making me allergic, too. Maybe I ought to turn these off for the day and just watch
Elf.
Buffy complete set coming out on December 14th.
It just occurred to me. Did any character on Buffy ever mention Wes being gone after he was carted away at the end of S3, wounded in GD?
