Well...

Hmmm...

Honestly, to save you some money and pain, I'd reccomend watching RK all the way through the Kyoto arc. Afterward, go ahead and watch "Trust and Betrayal" and after that, go buy manga volumes #19-28. Boom. You skip a bunch of wacky filler and you avoid that bulls**t "ending" OVA called "Reflections."

But I mean, everyone has their opinion on filler. I couldn't help watching it, just because I love the characters so much and wanted to see them in new situations.

I'm one of those rare fans who enjoyed season three. I explain why here animenewsnetwork.com/bbs/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=22161

If you are a big fan of Shonen manga, or have followed Kenshin I can easily see why you wouldn't like it. I also liked the ending of Reflections. Fans seem divided on the OAV's ending since I believe it has a decent average on the best list.

I will agree with Tony in regards of the dub quality. Between the horrid dub and the crummy video transfers, I would consider buying the 10th anniversary LE set that's being released in December.
