I know there's Buffy fans out there
What's your Top 10 and why. Finales and/or two-parters can be grouped if needed. So what episodes from this great show made you go "woah" or were just so good you can't miss them whenever they replay them?
1.
Fool For Love - I love this episode. I relate to Spike on a lot of levels here, and the flashbacks are awesome. The way they intertwine his storytelling with the flashback is memorable. There's obvious chemistry between Buffy and Spike here too, lots of foreshadowing.
2.
The Wish - The idea of the alternate reality is really cool. Buffy's actually in Cleveland instead of Sunnydale from Cordy's wish, something that would come up later. I think it's one of the best stand alone eps there is in the show, and who can forget "Bored now."
3.
The Body - Emotion. This was real powerful. Nothing supernatural in this one at all, but after watching Joyce for 5 seasons to this point, you can't help but relate to all the character's reactions. This episode should have been recognized outside of the show's fanbase, a lot more than it was.
4.
Doppelgangland - Kudos to Alyson for top notch acting in this one. A great and unique stand alone ep in which the alternate reality angle is turned around. Alyson took this show and ran with it. I thought watching Willow and Anya bicker about how evil she was quite funny.
5.
The Becoming 1+2 - This was the first season finale I ever saw. The look and emotion on Buffy's face when she stabbed Angel was poewrful and gut wrenching. Thisi s what probably got me hooked, I really cared for the characters after this one.
6.
Once More With Feeling - WOW. This is classic. The idea alone made the show amazing, and the songs even better. Every character kept within their own story sinigng about their problems seemlessly with everyone else(like in "Wish I Could Stay). I have all the songs from this show on mp3
My favorites from it are "Rest In Peace", "Going Through the Motions", and "Drawn to the Fire"
7.
Hush - On the other side of the spectrum you have this one. This must've been a pain to write....all those damn stage directions for 30 pages
This one was really scary to me, first one to be in a long while actually. The Gentlemen were spooky. Definitely one of their best. Who could forget the part inthe classroom where Giles is trying to explain to the Scoobies what the Gentlemen are?
8.
Conversations With Dead People - This is one that made me go "Woah" after. All kinds of entities showed up, I don't think all of them were The First, later eps showed exactly how it would appear and act. It's hard to describe thsi one, but I think you'll be "woah"ing after too
9.
Two To Go+Grave - Evil Willow is awesome.
Didn't know she had it in her, well not to that extent. This season finale seemed to be pretty much about Willow. I learned her character loved hard, loved with her whole being. It was a reminder to "Something Blue" when D'Hoffryn first summoned her. After watching these characters for so long, these episodes also gets the "Woah" response.
10.
The Zeppo - I loved this one because we never really learned what the hell was going on outside of Xander's predicament. A good, funny quote from Willow came from this episode too. Another stand alone, but in hindsight, it was character development for Xander for when it finally ended, a continuing story arc for him being the odd one out. This is one of my all-time favorites.
And now, the ones I had to cut to make this list
