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..]

Well, it's certainly a diverse and an opinionated one, I'll give it that. ;-)

I think rankings of the seasons depends on which area of the fandom you fall into. The group who loves the high school bit, or the group that hates the high school bit. If you hate the high school bit - you probably got coaxed into watching the series in S4, and only watched the first three seasons to fill in the gaps. If you loved the high school bit...you probably gave up somewhere around mid-season 6 in frustration. Of course that's a simplestic view. There's a wide spectrum out there as you can see from the responses. Really can't
generalize.

And there's a lot more people on my flist who liked S3 or preferred it to the other seasons than there appears from this thread or poll. They just are ignoring me. ;-)
