So very true! Ats always seemed really inconsistent to me, to be fair its dramatic arcs arguably reached far greater heights than Bts with some of the risks that they took, but honestly it's the day to day episodes squashed in between those arcs (Provider anyone?) that lets it down for me overall. I always felt like they knew how to give the big moments some kick, but then not how to follow on from there.
Even season 2 suffers from that to an extent with episodes like Blood Money and Happy Anniversary really failing to live up to the epicness of the mid-season and 'I just can't see to care'. At the time I was way more excited for that whole Darla arc then I was for the early Bts season 5 episodes quite honestly (I was dead and gone at some of those cliffhanger endings, like when Drusilla first shows up to turn Darla!!), but taken overall I would still pick how season 5 of Bts came together over Ats season 2 anyday
