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*

Pfft. People say that all the time, but honestly, I've never seen anyone put forth an argument as to *why* they're supposedly better. All you get is: They just *are*, damn it! Bah. Easier to watch, perhaps, but to me, that's not better, it's more boring.

I ran away from common boards like whedonesque, c&s and twop back during S7 when posting anything positive about the show would be translated to "flame my ass" by the hive.

You are so right. I have quite a few friends who like the earlier seasons better, but these friends are awesome and realize it's their opinion and don't try to convince me otherwise.

I really would like to read, like, side-by-side essays, one explaining why the earlier seasons are better, one arguing for the later seasons.
