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?

I watch a ton of S7 scenes over and over again despite thinking the season is weak in a lot of ways. Favorite/most watched episodes =/= best, you know?

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.

It's funny how some make it entirely about ship. I consider Surprise, Innocence, Becoming and Becoming II to be quite seminal to the series, and it's not my ship. Similarly, Dopplegangland is a favorite and it has nothing to do with my ship either.

Quality has nothing to do with ship preference.

But then, that's sane and rational talking ... which isn't always the case with fandom.

True. I admit that I tend to rewatch the ship-heavy episodes because, hey! It's what I like. But there are so many others (like the ones you list) that have nothing to do with ship.
