I saw someone a while ago point out that season 4 is rather essential – in that, for any other season, you could skip it and go straight from the season before to the season after, and you'd still be pretty up with events. Whereas, if you skip season 4? Willow is gay, Spike is a Scooby, and pretty much every character is doing markedly different things to what they were doing in season 3.
