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..]

huh. Funny, before the time of DVDs I thought it was my favorite because of Faith and Oz, and fun episodes like Lovers Walk, but after finally completing the DVD collection, it was a) the second to last one bought and, b) the one I've re-watched the least. At this point in my life, S3 lacks the funny I love of, say Season 4, and the drama is so Bangeli-ish I can't be pulled in again. If I wand angst I go to S6, and I do, often.

Had more or less the same reaction to S3. I love certain episodes such as Dopplegangland - that never gets old no matter how many times you watch it.
And Lover's Walk is hilarious in places...the scene with Spike/Joyce and Spike/Joyce/Angel never gets old, nor does the fight scene in the shop or Spike's bit with Willow. The rest though...does wear thin after repeated viewings.

And I think you make a good point - "at this point in my life...S3 lacks the funny" - it's true, it does. S6 works for me...more, as does 4.
