No because there are still awesome episodes like: The Body, Becoming 1 & 2, Passion, The Wish, Dopplegangland, Tabula Rasa, Something Blue, Restless, The Gift, aw heck when Thanksgiving rolls around just watch the Buffy marathon for the 10 best Buffy episodes.
If you watch seasons all the way through from the beginning then things will make sense because Buffy is full of continuity and foreshadowing.
