Re: Buffy The Sheep Slayer
Quickly addressing the season six versus four versus one debate. At least with one you can argue they were establishing the show, season four was a transitional year (how do we define ourselves after high school) but season six was basically a year that just ruined what could have been a great series finale. Had six come close to any of the previous seasons in consistency it might have been an acceptable loss but instead it not only was a poor season which introduced multiple annoying characters and took a character that could have been well liked for the role she played in season five and made her the obvious answer to question 20 - without the arc of s.5 - the character no longer had a purpose on the show. It also put the show from brilliant into that category of went on too long. Ugh - beyond the finale and once more with feeling - season six is ALL fail!

That and Five by Five is NOT an invention of Whedon or Whedonites. Neither was the answer I gave but at least it's usage was new for the show. Whedon's usage was common before the show just not with the hip crowd.

I don't think it's fair to blame a particular season for the show's existence. The fact that "The Gift" would have been an amazing series finale is irrelevant in the discussion regarding the quality of a particular season.

Re: Buffy The Sheep Slayer
I don't know, I really like the personal turmoil of six. From a character perspective, I think it's the most interesting.
