Ah, season 4. Much maligned by the fans for not having a particularly focused season arc, and for not having Angel (apart from his two guest appearances). And yet, there really is much to enjoy about this season.
Firstly, whilst the overall season arc is very weak, some of the episodes are amongst the strongest written. Hush and Restless grab all the headlines and rightly so, but I would also look at This Year's Girl/Who Are You?, Where The Wild Things Are, Superstar, New Moon Rising, Pangs, Something Blue. Lots of really strong episodes.
As for the gang, its a little disorientating seeing Buffy and Giles out of their usual cmfort zone but it does allow for some nice comic touches to Sarah and Tony's performances. I like Riley in season 4 and of course there is the introduction of my personal fave, Tara.
All in all, not as good as the previous season to be sure but there is plenty to enjoy in season 4 and I personally think it deserves more praise than it gets.
