Favorite Season of Buffy?

[Figure this should be safe and won't get any pedantic arguments/fights. But you never know with the Buffy fandom. At any rate, mind my blood-pressure in responses, I have a sinus head-ache from hell and a hellish work week with crazy bureaucrats and pedants. This is a mild distraction.]

[ETA: Almost wish I asked where you are in the viewing of series. Are you brand new to the series, watched it live in the 1990s-2003 (and since seen it 20 times or more, okay that may be an exaggeration...then again maybe not), or only watched the first three seasons all the way through and haven't seen most of the later seasons yet...although not really sure it matters one way or the other..]

There's a lot I like about season 3, but it would never be a favourite. Weirdly, though I like Faith and adore the Mayor, the season arc bores me. If I want to watch a season 3 ep, I always choose a standalone. The standalones are great, for the most part.

Had more or less the same reaction to S3. I've been pondering it. I like Faith and the Mayor well enough...but the arc didn't work for me. I may just be too old for it? (shrugs).

There are episodes in S3 that I love. But most of them are stand-a-lones.
Which is interesting. S4 was the same way. As was S7. While oddly I preferred the arc episodes in S1, S2, S6.

Hmm. Interesting. Thanks for responding. Love your icon.
