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
Honorable Mentions:
Lover's Walk, Primeval, Reptile Boy, School Hard, Passion, Amends, The Prom, Something Blue, The Weight of the World, Tabula Rasa

Also, the above are in no order

MMB

Not the greatest expert when it comes to Buffy episode names ...


Four I think stand above the rest (in my opinion):

Gift

Last two episodes in Mayor season (with Faith falling in coma and Angel being poisoned and then leaving)

Prom episode with beasts and where Buffy gets that umbrella at the end

Ephrils

Those are "The Gift", "Graduation Day 1+2" and "The Prom"

Andres

Hey I konow this isn't the place for it; but does anybody knows the name of the font that appears on the DVD's??

I've been looking for that fonts for a while now and I can't find it.

Does anybody know about waht font I'm talking about?

I'm talking about this font:

shakespears

1. The Gift The most powerful Buffy ever. I cried for hours after watching.
2. The Body Another amazing episode. Reality television on a scripted show.
3. Chosen Buffy came full circle in this well-written finale. Joss couldn't have done a better job.
4. Hush Every emotion was present in this episode. The concept was brilliant. Best part: Xander writes down "How do we kill them?" Buffy hand signals by moving her hands up and down i.e. staking. The gang looks at her strangely.
6. Once More With Feeling Buffy and Spike kiss.

I can't do this. It's so hard being critical with this series. I feel bad rating these episodes because I become over analytical. I was like debating where I should put Chosen because it was so good but not as good as every else. You know what? Every Buffy was amazing. There was not one that I did not like. Buffy is television done the right way. Maybe other shows can learn from Buffy. *cough*Smallville*cough*

DoobyDoo

Not in a proper order, just kinda went through the seasons

1. Innocence Awwww, i felt soo bad for Buffy when Angel turned bad

2. Becoming Part 2 OMG! She had to kill Angel awwwww

3. Dopplegangland Really strange but cool to see evil Willow and Xander

4. Hush Well creepy, those demons floating along ground.

5. Who Are You Thought it showed excellent acting skills of the cast this one.

6. Graduation day parts 1 and 2 Hahaha the mayors a snake.

7. The Gift Not cried so much in ages.

8. Once More With Feeling QUALITY episode!

9. Smashed Love this episode basically because when Buffy unzips Spike his face is class! lol

10.Two To Go Evil willow.... scary!

Ephrils

You're right, there is too many good episodes to make a list, and even rank them. I numbered mine to make sure I stopped when I had 10

If you can't do 10, then tell us about your favorite episodes and why then. If it goes over, stop numbering them Thanks to all who've responded so far

Willow : I wish Buffy was here
Buffy : I'm here!
Willow : I wish I had a million dollars.....it was worth a try
7- Blood Ties : this is like a tension episode...it keeps wanting u for more
8- Spiral : dunno what to say, just that i love it

RainDrop

hush, once more with feeling, doppleganger, the wish, graduation day, becoming part 2, who are you, the body, the gift, the zeppo

wengRrr

1. dopplegangerland: funniest buffy epi ever
2. prom: the last 10 minutes were wonderful
3. earshot: "you slept with Giles?!"
4. prophecy girl: very underrated. very emotional buffy/giles scenes.
5. normal again: talk about twisting your brain!
6. anne: cant help but cheer buffy on to get thru her depression
7. the gift: this is where the series should have ended
8. I only have eyes for you: can they torment buffy's heart any worse?
9. conversations with dead people: one of the best written epi's ever
10. helpless: another good buffy/giles scenes

If you can't tell I'm a big fan of the so called filler or stand-alone episodes. I don't think they should be called filler becauser they are integral to character development and can set up future storylines.
