I'm always kind of torn between seasons 2 and 4 for my favourite, but at the moment I think my order of favourite seasons goes 2, 4, 3, 6, 5, 1




And squeee! AWESOME new promo for Nikita http://www.aoltv.com/2011/08/29/exclusive-maggie-q-previews-nikita-season-2/ I have to confess that last season, while I was impressed that they resolved the UST as early as they did, I found myself secretly missing the confontations between Mikita and not feeling that they had the same spark after getting together. They were fine and cute enough, but at the same time something was missing for me quite honestly. But they come off as super adorable and hot AND kickass in that promo :D And Alex! Amanda! :can't wait for season 2:

My rank of SPN's seasons would be: 4, 2, 1, 3, and 5.

I didn't bother watching season 6, because I fell off the SPN bandwagon during season 5. I just thought the show became too inconsistent in tone, and suffered because it was being pushed to continue past the original five year plan. And I'll be honest - the way female characters were often treated plus the constant Sam and Dean angst that just never seemed to change or create any character development of the brothers got old for me.

I think season 3 would have been better if not for the writer's strike.

I know what you mean about tiring of the Sam and Dean angst :/ And normally I LOVE angsty characters, but I feel like something shifted after Dean experienced the 40 years of hell, and the show almost became about watching a deeply depressed man struggling to hold it together in a life he hates. I was so hoping that season 6 would see Dean realise that the Suburban life might be a nice fantasy, but at the end of the day it's kind of dull/not for him, and he actually chooses to go back on the road with his brother as he misses that life. There was kind of a hint of that when Dean unveils the Impala, but overall it still seemed to be hammered in to us how depressed and empty Dean feels :sighs:

I find that season 3 holds together fairly well in actually keeping many of the episodes focused around the central theme of Dean going to hell, and there were some amazing episodes that year (Bad Day At Black Rock! Fresh Blood! A Very Supernatural Christmas! Mystery Spot! Jus In Bello!), so I've always had a fondness for season 3. But it was disappointing how randomly they used Ruby and (especially) Bela when they were supposed to be semi-recurring and could have been woven into a lot more episodes in a less random way. And if the writers had more time to follow through on what I believe was the original plan of turning Sam darker to save Dean from hell, that could have made season 3 the best season ever. I'm kind of bummed that the writers strike made it so that Sam started experimenting with his powers AFTER Dean went to hell, and that meant that lot of fandom turned against him and saw it as him not caring enough about Dean, which I don't feel was ever the writers intention. But if he had started using his powers as part of wanting to get Dean out of the deal, then his reasoning could have been so much more sympathetic to the general audience and the writer could have spend more time on his POV.

Season 3 does feel a bit anti-climatic in the end after all of Sam's promises of not letting Dean go to hell, and then not being able to do anything to stop it
