And of course, no Spike and Dru...lol!

Eh, I came in during season 5 and I still got hooked, and then went back and watched the rest.

The portrayal of witches didn't bother me-- in the world Whedon created, that's what they were. I think some witches who got mad about it forgot the show is, technically, fiction. Much as we wish they were all real.... hee hee.
