And when she calls him on whether he thinks they're on a date and he's all bluster and then, "Do you want it to be?" So William.

Yes, Crush makes my IHEARTSPIKE meter go all wonky. Season 5 was great in that it was one long Spike-love-a-thon for me.

When She Was Bad

All is well that ends in pizza.

Okay, Helen. You need to see the last two S6 eps.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

Hmm. My season and finale rankings, with skating-style Technical Merit and Presentation scores (presentation being the tiebreaker). I'm using technical merit for how well I think the arc hung together, pacing, etc., and presentation for my emotional reaction to it:

S2 (5.8/6.0)
S3 (5.9/5.9)
S4 (5.4/5.6)
S5 (5.2/5.6)
S7 (4.8/5.7)
S1 (5.2/5.2)
S6 (4.8/3.8)

Finales:

Becoming I/II (6.0/6.0)
Chosen (5.9/6.0)
GD I/II (5.9/5.9)
Restless (5.8/5.9)
Two to Go/Grave (5.7/5.9)
The Gift (5.6/5.9)
Prophecy Girl (5.7/5.7)

IOW, I rank the finales much more tightly than the seasons. Joss & Co. definitely know how to go out with a bang.

"We have trust issues." Mylar

The finales are too hard for me. I loved all of them for very different reasons except The Gift.

Religion isn't the cause of wars. It's the excuse. - Christopher Brookmyre

I can't rank the season openers. I like every one, and they're all so different. (Geeky moment - people answered my question! Yay :))

Hey Daniel. I had a message explaining why I really wasn't that interested. But it felt kinda dismissive of people who actually liked season 6. Feel free to try and convert me.

IMO, if you really didn't like S6, the finale's not worth seeing.

AH's acting is amazing, but I found everything else about it pretty cringeworthy.
