S6 and S7 are my two favorite seasons and they strike me as the most universally DESPISED. And yeah, I'll admit there are things I HATE about S6 (there's really nothing I actively dislike about S7, except, perhaps, Kennedy), but... Seriously, fandom? And I really don't think Spike lost ANY badass points just because he got declawed a bit. Everything I loved about him was still there and... Gah. Yeah, I think the fandom just really doesn't get him. (Nor do, apparently, the people at TV Tropes who started this shit.)*
THERE'S ALSO JERRY O'CONNELL WITH FLOPPY HAAAAIR. It's a good fluff show when you have no brains for anything else. Kinda like Warehouse 13, but with more alternate universes. And adorable.
*Incidentally, I'm a 99.9% certain that people crying this trope on Irina in Alias was why her character got BUTCHERED in the last season and why she went right back to SQUARE ONE on the character development scale after having really turned around in four seasons. HAVE I MENTIONED HOW MUCH I HATE PANDERING? (Not that it's for CERTAIN pandering, but I could see it being that way.)
