Ha, interesting preference of seasons. I've seen late season lovers aplenty, but not with the combination of disliking 3 and loving 1 and 4.
I watched the entire show within three weeks and it was like reading a novel, rather than watching in real time and having lots of time to digest stuff and think about stuff, etc.
Me too, actually. I did marathon the entire thing in three weeks, but I still felt some of the pacing issues the fandom did. Like S4--I stopped for a day or two after a few episodes of that, felt it was a bit slow. I love the Initiative and don't see the problem with Adam, but I didn't feel that overwhelming need to see more after those few eps. Same with S7. The plot holes annoyed me; it felt like I was always missing something because characters kept doing things that didn't make sense. And I thought there was way too little of the Scoobies in S7, too little character, and way too much of a plot that was uninteresting in execution (good idea, though. Killing the Potentials, psychological Big Bad). It's just... I see what you like about the season. I like those things about the season too. But when watching, the overall feeling I get is just... Well, the bad just seems to overwhelm the good when I watch. When I first watched.
Haha, nah, you did answer my question. In the end, the good and bad points of the season are generally agreed upon; it just depends on how you personally viewed their proportions and execution.
