I've seen the first 6 episodes of S7, and they're all pretty pants as far as I'm concerned, with the possible exception of the Anya episode. I'm extremely disappointed, especially after advance reviews which suggested that S7 was a return to form after the excesses of S6.

As far as I'm concerned Angel now knocks the socks off Buffy without even trying. The first 5 episodes of Angel S4 are all really good.
