Big Ball of Blah
Okay I realize S4 has it's fans? I guess. I am shall we say it's anti-fan. I may not really enjoy S3, but I think its solid and it's boring doesn't liquefy my brain, like S4 does. Yes I am Spike fan who HATES S4. Observations so far:
* I enjoyed Living Conditions slightly more than I usually do, but it's still mostly zzzz..
* Aly is ALL affectation and tics, it is PAINFUL to watch her, but here's the weird thing, she has so little chemistry with everyone she is actually paired with on screen, BUT in S4 she has hella good chemistry with all Buffy's boys (Parker, Riley, hell even Spike), plus of course Percy. She is without a doubt the LEAST believable lesbian EVER.
* I'm trying to appreciate Riley's role as the second in a row of Mr. Wrongs ("I haven't thought about what I think about her." Okay GOMER), but he is so dull, and doofy, and they subject him to us for a season and half. CHRIST.
* Yeah I can TOTALLY see why Joss kept Xander around, instead of letting him go be with his One True Babe Cordelia in LA.
* Aside from her clothes, SMG/Buffy are adorable in early S4, but SB she's a too skinny and hitting the crimper again.
* The Veruca storyline MIGHT, might be more contrived than even the clothes fluke, but slightly less painful since I don't really give a crap about Oz. I like him, but *care* deeply? Neine.
*Spike and Giles are still the only redeeming things about the entire season. I love when he shows up at the Bronze to hang out. ASH looks crazy hot in that scene.
* I am totally gonna need to break this up with episodes like Smashed, Dead Things, and Never Leave Me.
