My favorite seasons are the first three.
Part of the reason I lost interest around Season Four is because Whedon decided to give one of the characters a same-sex love interest... which wouldn't be bad in and of itself, but that character already had a hetero love interest and apparently Whedon didn't think bisexuals existed, because that character is always referred to as gay (not bisexual) from that point on. And they and their first love interest also had a good relationship that was broken up for stupid reasons, to add insult to injury.
To be honest, I would have greatly preferred it if Whedon had made the "suddenly bi" decision with another character, who didn't at that point have a healthy relationship going on, and who I think would have become a more interesting character had Whedon made that choice with them. That is, of course, if said character was actually acknowledged as bisexual.

Strange, isn't it? Each man's life touches so many other lives. When he isn't around he leaves an awful hole, doesn't he?
