I agree the series improved with time. I still think that season 4 was a kind of artistic zenith though.
Between you and me, season 7 is good to analyze and I liked its metaphors, especially the final one, with Buffy getting rid of the Calling and sharing the female power, allowing inner potential to be achieved, but the whole season might have been a bit too conceptual, too abstract to be very good, or rather the concepts were good, but the creation had flaws. The ideas were intriguing but the writers/directors weren't careful enough about the "flesh" . For me "Dirty Girl" is the only very good episode of the second half of the season, and the finale (TEoD and cHosen) was botched-up.
