Anthony Head wanted to go back home. AH’s contract was up, so to get her to come back her agent got her a good deal, including credit placement. You could have paused for 30 seconds and google this. Would have saved everyone that temper tantrum at the end.

I dunno if you remember this but being buried alive was one of Buffy's biggest fears in Nightmares. So having to dig herself out of her own grave is probably a nightmare she'd had more than once.

The best villain is coming up *whistle*

Ooh claiming Buffy isn't perfect? Domi's going to fight you for that. When I first watched season 5 I didn't really like Glory. But since then I've come to adore the Most Beauteous and Supremely Magnificent One. And I still think everyone is wrong about Adam. He's a great reimagining of Frankenstein's monster, including its - perhaps surprising - intellectual capabilities and even his general inquisitiveness and interest in the how things work. I think it might've been fun if they'd kept up the "Buffybot, the Vampire Slayer" schtick for a while longer. But I guess they already did something like that with Dawn.

Small, priceless detail I noticed for the first time viewing these episodes today: The dorky vamp who tips off the biker demons about the Buffy bot is wearing a Hanson t-shirt. Just perfect.

Regarding Alyson Hannigan's new placement in the title credits, this aired around the same time as American Pie and it was felt that AH's star power could be used to help draw new viewers to the show after it switched networks and so she was moved to second billing after SMG. Maybe someone has filled you in on this tidbit already but the show itself was actually supposed to be over after season 5 before it was picked up by a new network for seasons 6 and 7. At this point Angel and BtVS were actually running on different networks.

Season ranking wise I think season one is always going to suffer from being a mid season replacement. They were basically given a small amount of money and a small amount of time to make something and hope not to be cancelled like 99% of mid season replacements. I think they did well with what they had they basically set up the characters and back story as best they could. Season four for me is a collection of great single episodes without the normal great larger season arc. There’s so many great episodes in that season but the behind the scenes stuff with Seth Green and the actress playing the professor leaving meant the big story wasn’t there that season. I love five as my favourite but that because I love shows or films that make me feel intense emotions bad or good. I think to have that effect takes amazing writing, acting and direction. But I get it’s not for everyone.

Season 5 is also not my favorite, even though I love so many things about it. The first time I saw The Body I was so traumatized I skipped it on rewatches for years. I've come to appreciate it a lot more over time, but it's a tough one. (It's actually not what keeps the season out of my top slot, though: that would mainly be the whole Knights of Byzantium thing, which to me just goes too far and derails the last part of the season which is otherwise very tight.) Season 6 is my personal favorite so I'm very excited that you're starting it!

The Grr-Argh logo at the end of the closing credits changes occasionally. Check out Becoming Part 2, Amends and Graduation Day Part 2.

I love season 2 as well :D but I also love season 1. It's where we get to see them getting to know each other, specifically the Buffy and Giles relationship, against a back drop of goofy monsters. What's not to love? :))) I like Glory but I feel like she had a strong entrance and a strong exit but spent too long in the middle not murdering everybody in Sunnydale (as she surely would) to be 'realistic'. If I want a crazy woman big bad Dru has her (marginally) beat :) Also, there's nothing much more depressing than seeing 'Special Guest Star Anthony Stewart Head' :'(

I usually tie season 4 and season 5 in my rankings. Season 3 is and always will be my favorite season. It could be used as the basis of a masterclass in writing. Perfect pacing, perfect balance between serial and one-off episodes. So much rich character development. They manage to tease the arc with the Mayor JUST right so that there's this urgency, but no clear answers until right at the very end. Even episodes like Dead Man's Party and Beauty and The Beasts, the ONLY bad episodes of the season, are narratively necessary for some of their larger plot points; and from there it's off to the races. After season 3, season 2 is my second favorite. Lots of good stuff, but also a fair amount of bad episodes. Like I said, season 4 and 5 are tied for me. Season 4's season arc was bad, but a lot of good one-offs, a lot of good humor. A lot of good character interaction. Season 4 has believable reasons for why the Scoobies don't kill Spike. By season 5 it becomes increasingly dubious. Season 5 has a strong season arc and on paper is very well constructed, but I find it very dry. Too much depressing content, I'm not sure the story with Glory was paced as well as it could be. Too few humorous episodes. Seasons 4 and 5 kind of have a lot of the qualities the other was missing to make them spectacular seasons. And then season 1 would be ranked after seasons 4/5.

My ranking is as follows: S2 (The best! I don't think anything can top the Angelus storyline, honestly), S1 (I love how it's a lighter season that is campy and just really sets everything up), S4 (Such a fun season. The Initiative/Adam storyline was kind of meh, but it has some of my favorite episodes in it, like Hush and Something Blue), S6 (So happy you're into this season now. It's a pretty wild season, and it also contains my second favorite episode of the entire show), S5 (This was a fantastically put together season, and I absolutely love Glory. I just find it too depressing to rewatch often, so that's why it's a little lower on my ranking), S3 (This season had some great episodes, but I'll be honest, I hated the mayor as the villain and I'm also not a big Faith fan), S7 (I won't go into detail since you aren't there yet, but I will say that there's a particular episode in this season that I absolutely hate with a passion and often skip it on rewatches. Also not a huge fan of the overarching storyline, though it's not terrible. I do love the finale and how things are wrapped up though). This season 6 episode is my favorite season opener of the whole show. It's so good! My ranking for season premieres from favorite to least favorite: S6, S1, S4, S5, S2, S7, S3
