In re: season 4.
In other news, "Beer Bad" is pretty painfully bad. "Fear Itself" was much better. Well, chainsaw. You know. "Wild at Heart" suffers from asking me to believe some random awful singer is charismatic. "The Initiative" features G & X being all unemployed and slackery together. A major fic starting point for me.
Giles can handle weapons. Check. He doesn't much like Doritos. Check. He likes raspberry fruit punch. Check.
Random: Sadly, it appears that Aaron Sorkin really is a sexist ass. Which sucks because he's also a great television writer. Well, one with a really honkin' obvious flaw in his writing. In Whedon we must continue to trust.

Is it the silliness that gets to you, or something else?
I actually like lots of it: the opening fantasy sequence, in which ninja Buffy impresses Parker who begs for her forgiveness, and then how it comes around to the end, when he really does say nice things to her. And then she bashes him on the head, which is what he deserves. (Well, in a hyperbolic fashion, but the show is hyperbolic.) Lots of good Willow in it, too.
