I liked it a lot, but it was a bit more hit and miss than prior seasons. When it worked though, it really worked. It seems like Joss was having a lot of fun taking risks with the writing. Just playing around with the format, and seeing what he could get away with. Like the "silent" episode, BUFFY WANT BEER!, Giles singing all the time, or the trippy dream episode finale.
The episodes with Oz and the female Werewolf were great. That was really cool. I'm a big fan of werewolves. Willow's hinted lesbianism became reality, which was cleverly done... but could her new lover be any blander? I guess that's the intention though, I don't think she even has a title credit.
Demon Giles was funny. Spike and Xander had some of their best one-liners. The humor was in full force. The Initiative story was interesting, but I think Adam was a pretty lame villain. Riley is also less interesting than Angel, of course.
The first three seasons were amazing though. Season 4 was almost on par, but not quite. I'm definitely becoming a Whedon fanatic!
