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 are singular episodes of Season 3 I like, but the on again off again Bangelness of the season really starts to grate.

It does upon re-watching. Although I think it grated when I watched it live way back in 1998-1999. Can't quite remember to be honest. I do vaguely remember getting aggravated by it, and a bit bored, and I shipped B/A at the time.

As I believe later season fans probably follow you (as the Spuffy fandom generally prefers the later seasons when Buffy and Spike are together), you're likely going to get a lot of no's for season 3 and a lot of seasons 5, 6, and 7 fans chiming in.

So far that appears to be the case.

Honestly, I can't be sure. I know there are more than two people who loved S3 on my flist - because we've debated it. They just aren't taking the poll.
And I can't remember if people loved that season, or preferred S5. I think the vast majority preferred S5. But I can't remember. So far it appears the vast majority did prefer S5, but only 28 people have taken the poll. (shrugs)
