My least favourite season in the Buffyverse was by far Angel Season 4. The arc of that season was ridiculous, and what they did to Cordelias character was unforgivable and lame oh so lame. Buffy Season 8 reminded me a little of that season unfortunately. The overarching storyline made very little sense, and is ridiculously difficult to follow. Im not even sure the writers are all at an agreement at what actually was going on with Twilight (the seasons main villain not those movies weird name choice though). It all kind of fell to pieces, but luckily it was mostly saved right at the end and season 9 has so far been more promising, and much easier to follow. Was Angel evil, was Angel not evil? What exactly is Twilight and who thought it was a good idea that Angel and Buffy having super powered sex would create a new universe? This is one reason why perhaps the big budget comic books allow isnt always best, especially when the audience is so used to relatively simple, small budget TV episodes. Also, why does Spike have to now live in a Spaceship controlled by strange space insects? Why? Just why? Season 8 needed to be drastically toned down. Luckily Season 9s mission statement was exactly this and so far the storylines have been an improvement... although Buffy getting pregnant then realizing she's a robot is not the best of starts.
