1) Your least favourite season? Four... but it does have some of the truly great episodes, so although it's least favourite, I'm only saying that because of the lameness of Adam - the naffest BB ever, and for a truly weak episode: Beer Bad - I was embarrassed to watch SMG in this and to me I think she was embarrassed doing it.
2) Your least favourite episode? Beer Bad for the appalling concept.
3) Your least favourite finale? Chosen... I don't know any true fan who came away satisfied with the way S7 ended.
4) Your least favourite beginning? S7 Lessons. The whole scaring of Dawn and her new school pals was too contrived. Spike's presence in the basement of the school, convenient. And it really set the scene for a pessimistic season ahead.
5) Your least favourite moment? Buffy throwing money at Spike and telling him he was beneath her. I felt that she was so shallow and had no compassion and treated Spike as a 'things'... which would have been OK if she behaved consistently like a Council brainwashed tool, but those actions conflicted with her apparent ability to fall for another vampire, Angel...
6) Your least favourite main character? I don't think I ever had a least favourite in the ensemble cast until Willow suddenly became gay and fell for Tara, and then Willow fell into my bad book... nothing to do with sexual orientation, it was more to do with the way it was so abruptly thrust upon us. I think it devalused the Willow/Oz relationship, and I'd seen that as a very powerful and beautiful thing.
7) Your least favourite minor character? Amy... I think because the actress did such a good job of making her a rat. She's tie very closely with Rack... again all credit to the great acting.
8) Your least favourite BB? Adam was the most disappointing because the whole Initiative thing had such potential until... he was revealed and he just looked so silly that I believe his role devalued what Maggie Walsh and the Initiative had built through suspense so that they became a farce.
9)Your least favourite Villain (aka little bad)? Veruca the female werewolf for seducing Oz...
10) Your least favourite monster of the week? The little fear demon in Fear, Itself... what a let down.
11) Your least favourite pairing (one that actually occured on screen)? Willow and Tara, because I liked Willow & Oz so much and I just hated the way Willow became lesbian overnight... Tara was a great character, I have to say, but if she was going to pair with another female, Anya would have been more believable for me.
12) Your least favourite 'ship (one that didn't occur but some fans would believe in it)? Spander seems to have become something of a fanfic obsession. There's no way I'd see that one happening in canon. Similarly, Spawn, Spiles, Spillow or any that didn't fit canon.
13) Your least favourite arc? The Masters plot... not really a proper arc IMO... Master Vampires will always be plotting to destroy and take over, it's their raison d'etre. Boring.
14) Your least favourite death? SPIKE! I deny it happened anyway - I want proof, the dust! Tara...
Haven't done AtS because although I own DVD's of the five series I've only watched some of S1 and all of S5 - sorry.
