I had to stop reading when the overviewer(?) says that Faith was the slayer called when the Master killed Buffy. I mean...Kendra was no Faith, but you just can't skip right over her.
Gunn: Well, how horrible is this thing? Lorne: I haven't read the Book of Revelations lately, but if I was searching for adjectives, I'd probably start there.
'Hell Bound'
Boxed Set, Vol. 1: Smallville, Due South, Farscape
A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much anything else that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Did anyone start a fandom kerfuffle by posting corrections?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
The Buffy overview was not nearly so fun nor affectionate as the Farscape one.

I think the Homicide one may be the best so far, just in presentation. It's clear, concise, not too snarky, not too full of in-jokes.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
I still contend that the Buffy one was downright cranky. And I should know from cranky.
It's like the TWOP recaps -- if you don't *like* something, then don't recap it! Save yourself the apparent hell of watching it, and save us, the humble readers, the fist-shaking.

It made me cranky. (I kept reading...)
This is where I would normally go on a "Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, I know this. But. Why does everybody have to hate Dawn? What's with all the Dawn-hate? By Season 6 she wasn't as whiny. And she was tough!" Rant. But I have to go home. So I won't.
eta: to get rid of my asscaps. there was really no need.

It's a remora, dimwit.
The change in Dawn was like going from necrotizing fasciitis to plain old leprosy. Oops, sorry, Hansen's disease. Not enough of an improvement to dispel the hatred.
If the reviewer just doesn't like the show, it can make for anguished reading. But it tends to be that when they love the show the problems bother them much more, so they tend to be more passionate and long-winded about the faults.

you can call me bob.
Back a bit...
I'd heard that the episode was written specifically as a way to get the kiss.
I thought I saw something that indicated that the episode where Daniel goes through the mirror was the one written specifically to circumvent the Air Force's insistence that they can't have a romantic relationship.
I too have spent the summer trying to fill the void in my heart where Buffy once lived. Stargate helps, but for a girl who loves her layers it's less vidalia and more chives.

Nothing is filling that space.
Though the gaping hole (because I didn't have time to prepare) is my OC shaped hole. Dammit! Hook me and dump me? What's that all about?
