PollI'm always kind of torn between seasons 2 and 4 for my favourite, but at the moment I think my order of favourite seasons goes 2, 4, 3, 6, 5, 1

I know! It has so many amazing episodes. I think that the first half of season 4 actually comes out a little ahead for me in terms of how much I loved it, but then the second half didn't really measure up, whereas season 2 stays consistently awesome all the way through. And the beginning of that year where they really take the time to explore Dean's angst over John's death, and the way it changes the brothers relationship a little bit with Sam being the one concerned about Dean's behaviour and looking out for him :loves:
Thanks so much for the Nikita link! I can't wait for season 2. I'm very excited about it cause it became one of my fav shows, it was love at first sight hee.
I really really loved how plotty and kickass Nikita got somewhere around the mid-season hiatus, and season 2 looks like it has the potential to be even BETTER what with a rogue Alex going up against Nikita, and Amanda the one in charge now :so excited:
Honestly, it was so hard for me to choose my favorite season. It's pretty much a tie between 1 and 2. Season 2 is when I started watching, so I think that one has a special place in my heart. Plus there are a lot of great eps in it. :)
As for least favorite... don't hate me, but I picked 4. Mainly because I hated seeing Dean and Sam led away from each other, and also because I couldn't stand Ruby that season.
I understand where you're coming from with season 4. I'm kind of a lover of angsty storylines *g*, so I enjoyed what the show did with the brotherly rift though. I actually took more issue with season 5 funnily enough, season 4 was more about building up to epic break-up OMG, whereas a lot of their season 5 interaction just felt kind of melancholy to me and left me with a heavy feeling. Hate hate hate Swap Meat which puts so much emphasis on how irritating Dean finds Sam, and then ends on Dean looking irritated and all "yep got the real Sam back now all right" when Sam asks him to turn the music down, that episode was just really against the whole spirit of the show to me :/ I mean yeah brotherly banter sure, but Dean almost come off as depressed about having to travel with Sam, I did not care for that at all. It was interesting early on in season 5 when they seemed to be gradually building up to Sam and Dean reuniting, but then they never really did properly get close again until close to the finale :sighs:
I really love season 2. To be totally honest I struggled a bit with season 1 when so many of the episodes felt like kind of cliched MotW ones, and a bit samey. There was some good stuff that year with John and the family feel of course, but a lot of the episodes didn't really grab me in themselves. Also the writing seemed quite clunky at times, whereas season 2 was SUCH a huge leap of quality with so many flawess epiodes. Plus that was when they started doing something different with the format in episodes like The Usual Suspects and Tall Tales, instead of season 1's more straight retelling of famous urban legends
Season 6 the worst, mainly because I am now ultra-sick of all the angels. They are too often used as an excuse to produce any old crack. I miss the times the show seems to be grounded in reality and the characters, not Edlund's silly ideas (don't get me wrong I love Edlund, but he needs reining in). We used to learn something new about Sam and Dean every episode, now they just seem remote.
I feel like people are a bit harsh about season 6 Idk. I'd agree that the Campbell's didn't really work for example and felt quite random, but I'd argue that they weren't treated all that differently to season 2 introducing Ellen and Jo as what seemed like fairly important characters, and then that all fizzling out. Or the way that season 3 seemed to have no clue how to use Bela after her first two episodes. Yet people (and I'm not attacking you here! Just going on a random season 6 rant :P ) seem to pick some of those aspects out as making season 6 the worst thing ever. Even Eve not really working out could be seen as similar to the writers spending a fair bit of time on setting up the mystery of the psychic kids in seasons 1 and 2, and then admitting in the season 2 companion that they ended up feeling like they weren't really working out so killed them all off in one episode. Granted that episode was the first part of the season finale, but still it seemed like they should have more importance than that after all the emphasis put
