So in my rewatch I came to the great stumbling block, and it wasn't Seeing Red (well I haven't reached that yet on, but for that I have my resolute face and a box of kleenex), its As You Were. I just can't face it. Such utter crap (Doug Petrie! I can hardly believe it) and I realized that grinding my teeth for 43 minutes wouldn't do them any good so I skipped most of the episode and just watched the Buffy - Spike scene at the end. Riley had to come back, yeah, but like that? And lets never speak of his Mary-Sue wife. And the utterly stupid Spike is an idiot plot, mostly because it de-greys so much. Yes I believe in the completist rewatch, but as far as I'm concerned season 6 officially has 21 episodes. So there.
Season 6 on the whole doesn't feel bad exactly (and so far I'd seen all of the episodes, which was unexpected), more like...competant. With standout scenes instead of standout episodes (obviously discounting OMWF), probably also having to do with the fact that its so so arc heavy and it feels like the story drifts from episode to episode, rather than beginning and ending in one.
I am however anticipating season 7 with pleasure.
ETA: Hell's Bells and after things really feel like they pick up, I mean whole episode wise.
Okay. Deep breath. Seeing Red. Here we go.
