Crazy Reader's Poll

[shadowkat]

Have decided purely out of curiousity to see who my readers are, which is admittedly gutsy, because it is more than possible that no one will respond and I'll look silly, which is why I haven't done this type of poll before (I've done plenty of polls, just not about my own journal). Not sure what's worse in internet land, critical responses or no responses at all. At least with the trollish/critical ones, you know people are reading. When you don't get any, you have no clue, there's a limitless number of possibilities.

Please note, the title of my lj is spontaneous musings, so while it is possible that I may honor your requests below, it is also highly unlikely. Than again you never know. There are admittedly a few posts that I still do that I've decided might be unpopular or really turn folks off and am considering discontinuing, so responses below will probably affect that decision to some extent.

just too bad that the Buffy question didn't hold, "Indifferent about the first three seasons, loved the last four" as an option.

Sorry about that, it didn't occur to me. I think for two reasons, I loved all but the first season and I've read far too many online vents critiques of the last four.

I actually thought the second and the third season were ok, while the fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh were great. (with some minor flaws)

Though the first one was worse than Firefly.

Though a big part of that might be that most of my enjoyment of the series comes from Spike, and neutral or good guy Spike at that.

Not a fan of Firefly, I take it?

Season one felt as if the writers were finding their way, not sure what they wanted to do or how to do tv. They seemed to be trying episodic and serial, also flirting with romance. From what I've read, Angel was supposed to die in S1, but the character unexpectedly took off and Boreanze unexpectedly improved, impressing the writers enough to develop a more layered tale in S2.
The Master clearly didn't work nor did the Annoited One - or the vampires as ugly monsters bit, so they changed tracks introducing Spike and Dru. I think the episodes of S1 that they took and built on, were the Pack, Nightmares, Angel and Prophecy Girl...which showed the writers that their young cast was capable of a lot more than they thought.
