I think Season Two is some of the best television ever made - Surprise and Innocence are heartwrenchingly wonderful, but so is Passion, and Becoming Parts I & II. It has some clunkers, but overall, it's one of the most emotionally satisfying (and devastating) tv shows. Even if Joss did some wicked and cruel things, I always respected that he and the writers earned the emotional payoffs (early on at least... at the end of the shows run, they were burning through a lot of good will rather quickly) and I fully believed him when he said he delivered the stories that fans needed to hear, even if they weren't the ones we wanted. I hope the rumor of a Buffy movie stays just that. Without Joss what's the point?
