It's the eights season of the comic book.


And damn, not Miss Calander

Edit: I cried, and Gyles beating Angel doesn't make up for it though.

They should make a spinoff with Willow

Possibly even Vamp Willow

Same, I always had it in my head that I disliked season 4, but I just recently rewatched the show and enjoyed all of it. I did like Adam as Big Bad.
Only season 1 seems a bit out of place and "too 90s", I still like it tho.

SPOILERS IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN SEASON SEVEN!!!


Season 7 has inherent problems and inconsistencies... and contains the worst, most unbelievable, scene in Buffy history (where everyone, except Spike who wasn't there at the time, turns on Buffy and supports Faith instead). Everytime I see that scene I just internally scream WTF?! It makes no sense that they would do that; especially Dawn and Willow who owed Buffy A LOT by that point. And very recent debts of gratitude, at that.

Another thing that leaves a bad taste in my mouth is the incredibly annoying presence of Andrew. He's so much a part of most of that season, and is so damn annoying, it's a wonder they just didn't kick his ass out of the house. I'd have had Giles put him on a boat to England or something. The slayer-ettes were not all that welcome by this viewer either. They, for the most part, didn't add much to the show and just "were there".

Second, the finale was god-awful. It's as if the writers said "we backed ourselves into a corner and built up this upstoppable evil and now we have to stop it so let's just make up stuff to get it done". You had endless thousands of Uber-vamps, just one of which had previously kicked Buffys ass more than once and took her to the limit again before she finally killed it. Now they are falling in battle like cardboard cut-outs. And not just to Buffy and Faith but to the inexperienced Slayer-ettes (who had only just gotten their power, btw) and even non Slayers!

Then, it's still too much for them to handle, of course, so we have Spikes amulet, which magically destroys the hell mouth and all the beasties coming forth from it. Really, how convenient! Just a terribly awful finale. The season 5 finale would have been a much better series finale.

I probably saw it as a child but don't remember it, or atleast not exactly so I'll skip that post

I don't remember much of that scene now, but back when I saw it I remember thinking to myself that what the gang did was actually a long time coming. I don't know, I guess I always saw Buffy as sometimes winy, selfish and infuriating when she didn't get her way, so it made sense for some of them to turn on her. Of course that my being a Faith fan makes me super biased, but oh well.

Riley was sooooo annoying The fact that he is still living in the Buffy universe compared to other notable characters is revolting!!
