shadowkat[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..]

While I loved the stand-a-lone episodes in S4, and the whole clockwork orange bit with Spike was admittedly inspired...I could not stand the super-solider plot with Adam - just too cliche and dumb. Admittedly? I've never been a fan of Frankenstein. If Lindsey Crouse hadn't left mid-way through...I think it may have worked better, can't tell. For me - S4, S1, and S7 had the least interesting big bads and through plot-line.
S3...I think the overall arc and B/A stuff didn't quite work for me either.
