Wednesday 2 June 2004, by Kitty : Don’t mistake me, I *am* willing to listen and even possibly change my mind about how godawfully written 80% of Season 6 of BtVS was. I began reading this review almost *hoping* for something that would make me see the season in a rosier light. I don’t *like* hating my favorite show. Alas.. this review presented my with nothing. I can refute all the points raised with the simple fact that the way the main story points in the season and the characters were written was *pathetic*. The season COULD have been fantastic. But I’ve yet to hear one convincing argument that it actually WAS. Marti Noxon made an awful, humourless, inconsistant and heavy-handed head writer/showrunner. Her painful lack of vision and writing talent was obvious from the clunky, sub-par opening episode. The season began to fray as soon as it began. There *were* moments of greatness in the first half of the season (Afterlife, Once More With Feeling, Tabula Rasa) but the rest of the year was unfocused and embarassingly mediocre at BEST. This review, lengthy as it was, did absolutely nothing to change my opinions of Season sux. Sorry.Wednesday 2 June 2004, by delia : Oh yeah! Season Six is also my alltime favorite season off my alltime favorite show. I hate to read those "everybody knows that early Buffy was best" comments. Opinions on that are all over the place, as are polls I’ve seen, or voting on "best episodes." Ever watched those FX Buffy marathons where people vote for their favorite eps? They are not "early seasons" heavy. Early Season fans often post as if a huge majority agree with them, but that just ain’t so. Anyhow, it’s good to read all out praise of Season Six. To me, Six is what lifted Buffy from being a wonderful show to a truly extraordinary show. It represented an amazing risk, and it succeeded.

Season 5 for me was my favourite season, that last episode still makes me cry now and I have watched it so many times. The season had alot of emotional turmoil in it and was an emotional roller coaster all the way through. Thursday 3 June 2004, by faithforever : I agree with the reviewer. This was the best season, hands down. I loved Season 2, heck, all the others, but none were as great as Season 6. It was when the show became riveting, when it went from outstanding to unparalled.Thursday 3 June 2004, by Glory : I agree completely with this reviewer! Season six is my absolute favorite season as well... I think those who dislike it just don’t get the depression-part of it. And that’s a BIG part of the season. I’ve also had a thing for Normal Again - I love the concept and the way it’s carried out in this episode! Oh, and yeah, people who need the karaoke sing-along ARE losers. ;) These comments are an anwser to this article : Detailed review of latest Buffy DVD argues S6 was best
