Have just now finished my sojourn through season 4 (second time watching Restless). The first DVD of S5 is in the player, and I am quite excited. It's strange -- I feel as though I've finally "caught up." Well... I haven't seen S1 yet, but I will get to it!

S5 isn't when I started watching (Buffy was in the first half of S6 when I started), but I got in during one of the hiatuses, so in the meantime I downloaded S5 eps like crazy. This is because I was completely Spike obsessed... less so now, but after watching FFL, whoa.

minor spoilers for S5

It's funny because most people single out S2 or S3 as their favorite or as the "best," but that's how S5 feels for me -- Slayer mythology, sacrifice (despite gaping plot holes), Dawn, the fun! I really do like Dawn's arc.

Now I eagerly anticipate S6 DVDs and the musical!! With commentary, hopefully!! And behind the scenes glances!!

Whoo ^_^.

2, 3 & 5. It's very close for me between all of those, and I still see 5 as the natural end to the series (not the original concept which I think may have involved pulling everyone and all of Sunnydale into the Hellmouth with maximum angst...I like to think Xander would have walked away, again maximum angst.) Anyway, enjoy!

*nods* While some part of me kind of likes the idea of The Gift as the final ep, a big part of me is also completely into the dark, bringing Buffy back from the dead arc, and I do so love the ending in Chosen (despite, well, lots of S7). I love ending the series with that smile on her face.
