The 25 Worst Seasons of Great TV Shows

23. Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Season 6
(UPN; October 2, 2001 - May 21, 2002)

 

Buffy's fifth season finale was one for the record books, but the events of that excellent
episode created some serious problems its following season. The result was a sixth
run that didn't quite fit the tone of a show that had built its reputation on its ability to shift
focus from deeply earnest scenes to more light-hearted moments. Yes, Buffy's weakest
season ended up earning more critical accolades than most of the other low points on
this list, but fans still feel some discomfort with its somber events.

Now everyone is entitled to their opinion, but I am tired of how some sites are down on
Season Six and Seven of BTVS. I think Season Six was amazing in how it handled life
changes of the characters. Depression is a fact of life. Many fans of the show found
Buffy's depression a bonding moment. She was so powerful, but deep down, she was
just one of us. Flawed and scared. Willow had her own arc of finding a way to deal with
her power as a witch and how her actions affected those she cared about in life. Xander
made grown up plans and then freaked out breaking Anya's heart. Giles left, came back
and left again. Spike finally got his crumb and his heart broken as well. Dawn came into
her own as a person. Season Six wasn't weak to me.

I find it interesting that this article didn't include Season Four of Angel. That was a horrible
mess. Cordy sleeping with Conner???? There isn't enough brain bleach in the world to get
rid of that image. Also the photo this site used for BTVS isn't from Season Six, it's from Season
Seven. Makes me wonder if the writer of the article isn't a Bangel fan and it colored their opinion.

That actually doesn't surprise me in the least. With the safety of anonymity, the internet is an ideal breeding ground for folks with an axe to grind or VERY STRONG FEELINGS to come together. They can rant and rave as loudly as they'd like, thinking they won't hurt anyone and no one knows who they are anyway. (I realize there are exceptions to that, but it's easy to spout off while typing on a keyboard than when looking someone in the eye.)



You're so right. I had this with our first batch of kids [we had a family young, then made another in middle age] when the internet was young and new and they would say or do things they would *never* have said or done were the person standing there. I hear from the High School they attended 82% of all problems within the school are caused by something relating to social media outside of school.

People not only feel anonymous but they also feel comfortable and protected, cos they're in their home with a drink and perhaps the telly on in the background, utterly safe as our natures dictates. Warm, safe, home, and therein lies the problem cos for the first time in human history we can reach and read the globe from that "cave" of ours. Unfortunately my saying human bring up a whole new issue, cos in my experience the vast majority of human beings on the planet are annoying berks; thus unfortunately this means that all those Neanderthal looking and [frankly] bloody berks out there [of which outnumbers the rest of us] suddenly they, those people, you know the kind I mean, mouth breathers and sniffers of their index fingers, they have a voice, it's terrifying is what it is and as terrible as it sounds, mixed with contradiction though it be to my every instinct and beliefs, some people just shouldn't have a voice... They really shouldn't.

It can also be extended to the webs at large, the vile things I read on yourtube comments for no reason at all, it makes he gag, very occasionally I argue with someone despite having learned these people are gonna be these kinds of knob headed people if my blood pressure is about to kill me or not, so I shouldn't risk it and click away, don't engage and forget. lol


What irks you most about the webs? Oh and you're a Buffy fan, best season for you and why? You don't have to answer, I blathered on so long I wanted to ask.
