Finished season five. Thought they kept the tension about Glory's invincibility high throughout the season. Some laughable moments -- the fleeing Winnebago chased by armored knights. High camp. I also found amusing the bit where people just forget about the Ben-Glory switcheroo after seeing it. Loved Olaf the violent, keg-drinking troll. :) The sub-plot of Spike being in love with Buffy is weird. Vampires can love, but it seems to me that soul-less vampires cannot stop their evil, chip or no chip. The season finale where Buffy sacrifices herself to save her sister was moving.
The Body is one of the most powerful depictions about sudden death, shock, and grief I have ever watched. Very moving.
Favorite episodes: The Body, Family, Fool for Love, Triangle, The Gift
Favorite quote, from "Intervention": When Spike makes the Buffy-bot, it says in a smiling, enthusiastic voice, "I am not a robot."
Also, in "Triangle" when they are fighting the troll Olaf in the Bronze, it taunts Buffy by saying, "What are you fighting for miniscule blond one?" Love it.
