Top Ten Episodes

[Skittles]

I've decided, from reading a bunch of this on the buffyworld forums, to post this about our fav eps and why they are your favs. I'm just gonna post my top ten, which will be hard cause I'd have to watch them all to decide, but I'll try anyway. I can't put them in any order, though. So just bear with me on this one, 'kay? Hmm...lemme think....


Once More with Feeling
The Gift
Tabula Rasa
When She Was Bad
The Pack
School Hard
The Wish
Hush
Something Blue
Chosen

And now for my patheticly short reasons for why they are my favorites.

OMWF I can't help it. I love musicals. The Gift It's just such a great episode. Who can't love it? Tabula Rasa It's so hilarious in almost the entire episode. Then everyone finds out and it's so sad. When She Was Bad I think I like this ep so much 'cause of Xander, Willow, and the icecream on her nose. They are so adorable. And then seeing Buffy act like such a bitca ( ;D ). The Pack Hmm...not real sure why I like this episode so much. Willow gets hurt by Xander, which is never a good thing, so it must be that seeing a bad side of Xander is kinda sexy. School Hard Spike and Drusilla. Need I say more? The Wish Who does not love this episode? Hush Creepy, creepy. The Gentlemen are so awesome. Something Blue This is a great ep, too. 'Specially with Spike and Buffy planning their wedding. ;D Chosen It ended the show perfectly. Although I didn't like that so many of my favorite characters had to die

This was really really hard to narrow down on. lol
And I hardly saw any of season 7 yet, so I did't even go there... So in no special order:

1- School Hard -Duh, we meet Spike here!
2- Halloween - I loved the whole thing with them turning into their costumes.
3- Becoming 1/2 - It was really crazy and sad but I dunno.. It was so intense when she had no choice but to kill Angel.
4- Band Candy- I thought it was hilarious to see al the adults acting like teenagers in this ep.
5- Dopplegangland- Evil Willow... What wasn't to love?!
6- Beer Bad - Drunk Buffy cracked me up!
7- The Replacement- Really interesting to see two Xanders each with different Xander qualities. And it was really funny at the end when Anya wanted to keep him as two for the rest of the night.
8- The Gift- Incredibly sad, but really beautiful turn that this ep took with Buffy giving her life so Dawn would live.
9- OMWF - By far one of my fav episodes. I thought the whole musical thing was great, and they all sing/dance so great!
10- Gone - I just thought this one was pretty funny with her being invisible for so much of it, and being able to mess with people.

Here we go again, as I had just finished typing up my list for AtS (whew! :othat was a lotta work!)

Okay, again, had problems deciding, so I'm doin another list o' 15 here as well, and I've also included my fave line from each ep, too. So here goes, and in no particular order:

Life Serial Buffy trying to figure out her life, while the Troika is trying to destroy it, in the nerdiest ways they know how ;D Brilliant! The Troika at their finest!!!

Best Lines: "Timothy Dalton should win an Oscar and beat Sean Connery over the head with it!"

Andrew: "Death Star, dude. Wicked, huh?"
Jonathon: "Uh, thermal exhaust port's above the main port, numbnuts."
Andrew: "For your information, I was using the Empire's revised design from Return of the Jedi."

Band Candy Joyce and Giles gettin it on!!! Who else saw this coming?

Best LinesJoyce: You are so cool. You're like Burt Reynolds!" (any Kevin Smith fan would find this funny)

Buffy: "Let's do the Time Warp again."

Snyder: "Whoa, Summers! You drive like a spaz!!!"

Something Blue Thus the Age of Spuffy begins.

Best Lines Spike: C'mon! It's Telly-time!!! Passions is on! Timmy's down the bleeding well, and if you make me miss it I'll-"
Giles: "You'll do what, lick me to death?!"

Spike: "Yeah, well, I'm not the one who wanted 'Wind Beneath My Wings' for the first dance."
Buffy: (sheepishly) "That was the spell."

Conversations W/ Dead People Okay, this was just an absolutely incredible episode. First, how creepy was Cassie, really. And the return of the Nerd "duo"! But seriously, a brilliant episode, there are no other words to describle it.

Best LinesAndrew: (mimicking Obi-Wan)"That Boy is our Last Hope."
Warren/The First: (mimicking Yoda) "No, there is another."
Andrew: "Wait, really? Who's our last hope?"
W/TF: "No, I was just going with it. It was a thing. He's our last hope."

Jonathon: "Desde abajo te debora."
Andrew: "It eats you starting with your bottom"

The Body I reeled from this ep. It was the most realistic portrayal of what happens to you when you lose a loved one. I completely related to it. I lost my grandmother 2 years prior to the airing of this ep and it was spot on, that is completely what it's like.

Dopplegangland Double Double the Willow Enjoyment! I actually like this ep far more tha I liked the Wish. While The Wish is good, It was far better to see VampWillow interact/react to our world and our dimension.

Best Lines Willow: "Well, did you try looking in the sofa cushions in hell?"

Anya: "When I get my Powers back, you will all grovel before me."
Will/VampWill: "Pfft!"

Willow: "Perfect Match? You want us to breed?"

Pangs It's now a tradition! Thanksgiving isn't the same without the viewing of this episode! Missing it is like missing the Great Pumpkin at Halloween!

Best LinesBuffy: "It is a sham, but it's a sham with yams. It's a yam sham."

Willow: "But you have whipped cream. I saw it in Giles' fridge."
Buffy: "But that's whipped cream in a canister. Look, it's only right if you whip it yourself."
Willow: "Hey, and then later, we can churn our own butter and make sweaters out of sheep."

Buffy: "And the thing is, I like my evil like I like my men-- evil. You know, straight up, black hat, tied to the train tracks, 'soon-my-electro-ray-will-destroy-Metropolis' bad. Not all mixed up with guilt and the destruction of an indigenous culture."

Buffy: "I just wanna have Thanksgiving."
Spike: "Heh heh. Yeah...Good luck."

Who Are You Okay, shows the brilliance of our actors, Sarah and Eliza switchin roles for a day, masterful!

Best Lines Faith: You can't do that because it's naughty.

Spike: (Not knowin it's actually Faith) You know why I really hate you, Summers?
Faith: 'Cause I'm a stuck-up tight-ass with no sense of fun?
Spike: Well, yeah, that covers a lot of it.

Crush I had a hard time deciding on this one. I actually chose this ep not for the whole Spike reveals his "Love" (i.e. obsession ) for Buffy, I chose it for the scene between him and Dawn and he's telling her the story. Yeah, I'm a sucker for Dawn/Spike Friendship stuff.

Restless Hmmmm.... Poetry! Seriously, a fabulously artistic end to one crazy-as-hell season.

Beer Bad Hee Hee, Drunk Buffy, hee hee! Parker Bad!

Best Lines Xander: And was there a lesson in all this? What have we learned about beer?
Buffy: Foamy!

Storyteller Sorry, gotta weak spot for Andrew! This ep was so cute!

Best LinesAnya: For God's sakes, Andrew. You've been in here for 30 minutes. What are you doing?
Andrew: Entertaining and educating.
Anya: Why can't you just masturbate like the rest of us?

Andrew: In my plan, We are Beltless!

Buffy: It's like all the hellmouth's energy is trying to escape in that one little spot, and it's getting all—<br>Wood: Focusy.
Buffy: (looks at Robin) Careful. You're starting to speak like me now.

Once More With Feeling Okay, who doesn't have this at least somewhere on their lists? I mean, honestly! What other show could give you the brilliance of a complete musical? Lemme give ya a hint, you won't see them a-singin' and a-dancin' on ER, CSI, or Law and Order, that's for damn sure!

Best LinesXander: Respect the cruller, and tame the donut.

Spike: Well, I've seen some damn funny things in the last two days. A 600 pound Chirago demon making like Yma Sumac, that one will stay with you.

Spike: Someday, he'll be a real boy.

Fool for Love One of my all time favorites. I love how it shows Spike coming full circle, from this prissy little ponce who could never get the girl in life, to the biggest bad of 'm all, and he still can't get the girl. He changes everything about himself over the course of a century, and he's still the same person he always was. There's something very ironic, poetic, and beautiful about this ep.

Best LinesDawn: When do I get to patrol?
Buffy: Not until you're never.

Willow: I think it's code. I think it breaks down to "choo-choo!"

Spike: You know, there quite a few American beers that are highly underrated. This unfortunately is not one of them.

Spike: Oh, I'm sorry. Did I sully our good name? We're vampires.

Spike: That final gasp. That look of peace. Part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. Every Slayer... has a death wish. Even you. The only reason you've lasted as long as you have is you've got ties to the world... your mum, your brat kid sister, the Scoobies. They all tie you here but you're just putting off the inevitable. Sooner or later, you're gonna want it. And the second- the second- that happens... You know I'll be there. I'll slip in... have myself a real good day. Here endeth the lesson. I just wonder if you'll like it as much as she did.

Chosen The End of all Things, The Coming Full Circle, whatever you want to call it. It's a meaningful and emotional ep for each and every Jossverse-fan, along with Not Fade Away, of course. I don't think I ever cried at a series finale before I saw this, and when I did, Niagra Falls!!!

Best Last LinesGiles: Could it possibly get uglier? I used to be a highly respected Watcher, and now I'm a wounded dwarf with the mystical strength of a doily.

Buffy: Oh, my God. Are you 12?
Angel: I'm getting the brush off for Captain Peroxide. It doesn't necessarily bring out the champion in me.
Buffy: You're not getting the brush off. Are you just gonna come here and go all Dawson on me every time I have a boyfriend?

Buffy: (to Dawn) If you get killed, I'm telling.

Xander: Hey, party in my eye socket and everyone's invited. Sometimes I shouldn't say words.

Buffy: Good, good. I haven't had quite enough jealous vampire crap for one night.
Spike: He wears lifts, you know.
Buffy: You know, one of these days I'm just gonna put you 2 in a room and let you wrestle it out.

Spike: (talking in his sleep) I'm drowning in footwear!

Willow: This goes beyond anything I've ever done. It's a total loss of control, and not in a nice, wholesome, my girlfriend has a pierced tongue kind of way.

Anya: Come on, let's go assemble the cannon fodder!
Xander: That's not what we're calling them, sweetie.
Anya: Not to their faces. What am I, insensitive?

Wood: Why, because you're so hot?
Faith: It is what it is, yo.
Wood: Oh please, I'm so much prettier than you.

Wood: Faith, make me a deal, alright? We live through this, you give me the chance to surprise you.
Faith: What would be the surprise?
Wood: You do know the meaning of the word, right?

Wood: Welcome to Sunnydale High. There's no running in the halls, no yelling, no gum chewing. Apart from that, there's only one rule: if it moves, kill it.

Xander: If you have to go to the bathroom, it's to your left. If you don't have to go to the bathroom, picture what you're about to face. Better to go now.
