Haysus I'm so back on the responses here.
S2 is my favorite as well. I've listed the oogles of reasons why before. I can't think of another series that had a season have so much happen.
What S3 did -- and this is very important in my HO -- is that it was a worthy successor. The series could have lost momentum after it pulled out so many stops the year before, but senior year at Sunnydale High was classic. It brought back Angel without erasing the consequences of Angelus' actions and transgressions in S2. It introduced truly lethal adversaries -- the Mayor, Trick and Faith. And, it set the sign post for the FE.
The only ep of S3 that I soured on was Lovers Walk, because I liked the dynamics of the Cordy-Xander relationship. Still, even that ep had its classic moments.

Love that ep. During the first run, I didn't really get the Cordy/Xander thing, but watching the reruns day after day on FX converted me. I could really see the chemistry there, and the derailment of that relationship in LW and afterwards just breaks me.
My rating would probably be S3,S4,S2,S1,S7,S6.
Based on enjoyment and overall plot, not technical competance.
Agreed about C/X. Her face when she's lying in the hospital...
I miss C/X, too. I keep trying to imagine how things might have been different if she'd still been with Xander when her family lost everything.
I actually went back and looked at some of my first posts on TT, and god was I annoying. I sounded so... thirteen. And I think my sister was rude to Betsy.
Wow, that was all the way back in TT Buffy 1. Your sister Jeri was
9...
It's kind of funny.
Holli: Jeri can be Board Baby, if I don't kill her first. Sibling rivalry can be an ugly thing, I know, but what can ya do?
Jim L. Baird: In cyberspace, no one can hear you scream, "Mom! She's touchin' me!"
Y'all and Joss turned me into the moderately social-skilled person I am today.
I can definitely see our influence on your style. But you guys weren't that annoying. I would be charmed if someone like you two dropped into the thread today. (I don't care about protecting young minds.) How did you find Table Talk?
Be fun to sneak the tapes back in time with me and show them to myself then and see what I thought. Except, you know, then I'd be spoiled for all kinds of culturally reference-y things.
You'd be going around saying "5 by 5" for years, waiting for the slang to catch on. You would have a heads-up on John Tesh being the Devil, however.
And I think my sister was rude to Betsy.
God, I remember that.
Re - eps to convert.
Out of Sight, Out of Mind
. No question. It sums up everything great about the show, needs no intro, and is generally ace.
My rating would probably be S3,S4,S2,S1,S7,S6.
So, season 5 is right out then? This is pretty much my order (except 1 might go after 6, but it's close behind), with 5 bringing up the rear.
Zeppo is on FX right now.
And they cut the line "Occasionally, I'm callous and strange." Curses on them.
Crack. All of you. The order is 2,3,1,5,6,7,4

I caught that, too. Pissed me right off.
