but I thought that Buffy The Vampire Slayer could/should have ended with S3 (or at least after S5 if you want to be charitable). Being in High School and dealing with High School was a significant part of the appeal of the show for me. Once the Scoobies graduated High School and the school itself, well, literally blew up, the show felt like it lost a part of it that made it special and there were too few episodes after S3 that I could really say I enjoyed. When I do a re-watch, I mostly only watch eps from Seasons 1-3 (or mostly, 2-3) and not pay attention to the rest.
