OMG Y'ALL.
Did you know that we as Spuffy/Spike fans have ~superpowers???? That we can render things meaningless for other people? Also did you know that anyone who doesn't think the earlier seasons of BtVS are "better" is automatically "lacking in perspective" about the show?
Because I wasn't aware of this, but I'm so glad that people have informed and enlightened me! I can now fix my perspective to get it in line with....
Oh. Wait. Who decides these things again? They're opinion-based? You mean that no one is actually wrong if they enjoy a different episode of a TV show than I do? Seriously?
CHAOS WILL NOW ENSUE. HOW WILL THE UNIVERSE BEAR UP UNDER SUCH ANARCHY?
*runs and hides*

Having been informed several years ago that Spuffies destroyed all of television
You don't happen to have a link, do you? I would love to read this.
So is this the "WE ARE BECOME SPUFFY, DESTROYER OF WORLDS" icon? Because that one never fails to make me laugh.
Unfortunately said superpowers never seemed to incorporate us getting anything we actually want, but our mere existence seems to be enough to be a constant agitant to some, so I suppose that's considered to super power enough. >:]
HAHAHA. I will never stop laughing at this.

Superpowers indeed.
(And if everything after Season 3 is dreck... why are OMWF, Hush, Restless, and The Gift always listed as a sampling or BtVS's greatest high points?)

(EXACTLY.)

That said, I think the earlier seasons are coming off a bit more dated. The latter seasons being a bit more epic-urban-fantasy-ish/internal angst oriented makes them seem a bit more tireless. The earlier seasons look very "high school in the 90s" now. Which, while not bad (especially if one was in high school in the 90s and thus it brings back war,m squishy memories) makes it seem very time specific.

And I totally agree. I went to high school in the early 00s and I have no particular affection or nostalgia for that period. I also can't relate to Buffy personally nearly as much during that time as I can during the later seasons.

Quality has nothing to do with ship preference.
But then, that's sane and rational talking ... which isn't always the case with fandom.
