Yes, that makes sense.

I liked Buffy season four! Kind of. The Initiative stuff was pretty poorly executed, as was Adam, but I liked a lot of the concepts from that season, and I think it had a bunch of good character moments.

It’s not the worst season. I love Riley. But it felt underwhelming to me. Mostly because there were a lot of themes going on that went under-explored, characters with unexplored potential. But thinking back, it was kind of a gems and turkeys season.

I love season 4! I really really love the standalone episodes, but I like the arc too. I never really got season 4 hate. Or season 7. I just love ALL THE SEASONS.

I really like season 4. Though I think its more that as I got older (aka out of my gawky early 20’s existence) the more I appreciated that season.
It’s not my favorite season, but it certainly has its strengths- and I agree, its worst weaknesses tend to be all the untapped potential there- though I wonder how excellent it might’ve been if Lindsay Crouse could have been there throughout the season. The strengths of the Initiative plot seem to me to be tied to Riley’s arc (Goodbye Iowa still blows me away with the “what could have been” of the arc), but there just isn’t enough of it? Idk. I’d love to see an analysis of Adam and his function in the series sometime, giving me better perspective on how he makes the plot work (if he does at all).
There are definitely a couple of seasons that become more enjoyable with age, I think- S4 and 6 come to mind, and maybe S7, too. Though I don’t know if that’s about existing within the season’s frame of mind or just more time to allow it to settle in your head.

The Thanksgiving episode can still exist. And the dream episode. Everything else go home.
Angel Season Four tho. (It’s weird because I love almost every episode of the season individually, but the overarching plot makes me want to vomit.)
I love Buffy Season Four? Doesn’t anyone else love Buffy S4? It’s got so many amazing episodes, a fantastic arc for Riley, and the season itself has that college freshman feel to it- shaky, with its good episodes and bad, trying to find its new place with newfound freedom, and it loses its way partways through but returns to itself by the end to emerge stronger. I feel that stage of life when I watch it, and it’s wonderfully executed (though Maggie Walsh »> Adam. Shameshameshame. Although I guess you can argue that that’s another aspect to that first year of college- your demons are exaggerated but unimpressive. (Plus, you spend the summer after napping! Okay, now I’m reaching. :D)).
Jasmine, y/y? Isn’t everything after Spin the Bottle Jasmine?
(Especially since Cordy doesn’t seem to have any animosity toward Angel when she’s actually being a Power or in You’re Welcome, so this is probably just utter bs on the part of Fauxdelia. :/)
