I will go away from the crowd a bit in terms of one thing: while I think the show dropped off a lot last year, it was also the season that got me back into the show. I really liked the show when it started, but once Buffy moved into its time slot it was no contest. I had to watch Buffy. Then there were other things and real life and while I caught a few episodes here and there during those intervening year, I was hadn't watched it regularly for years three through five. On a whim I gave it another shot early last year and it wasn't as good as it used to be. Rory was annoying. Luke was being mishandled. But the dialogue was still very sharp, the acting was still up to par, the quirkiness was still what I remembered... Basically, I got back into the show in spite of the story because everything else still clicked. Sure, I wanted to strangle some characters here and there, but it made me care enough again to want to strangle them.
This year the characters continue to make annoying decisions, but I don't really want to see them get strangled for those decisions anymore. Except for Logan. I want him dead. But I've largely been happy this season as somebody who loved the show early on and had to come back and get caught up.
But other than that, I'm with everyone else and think that you'll love it.
