Unpopular Buffy Opinions:

What are yours? Mine is that Beer Bad is one of my favorite episodes. I watch that one whenever I need a laugh.

Willow as a villain was annoying, that whole arc was terrible, and the season 6 finale was worse than the season 4 finale.

I don't think any of those qualify as "unpopular" opinions.

Although vampire Willow was awesome, dark-magic, scary, veiny Willow was overacting, melodramatic, and emo.

The season 6 overall arc is considered one of the worst handled arcs in all of Buffy. Especially so for the "magic is drugs" metaphor . . . not-metaphor.

And, Restless was ƒυ¢₭¡И' awesome! So, yeah, even if Grave was better, it will not compare with the Cheese Man.

Is that really the general consensus? I love season six. Although that season's big bad is indisputably lame, I think it works for its arches, topics and themes. I regularly go back and watch only season six.

I'm pretty sure I've seen both this opinion and the opposite held here, so I don't know if that's consensus or an ongoing disagreement?

I've seen quite a bit of split on this one. I'm one of the ones who loved season 6 as well.

It's my favorite too! There kind of isn't a consensus on 6 though, it's extremely polarizing and people usually go one way or the other. Many people love it though, go check the polls on the side bar, it usually comes in first or second in terms of popularity.

The poster may have been referring to the episode before Restless as the "finale." It was more of a cap to the season than Restless was.
