My Top Ten Buffy Episodes…

Inspired by the ever imaginative duo of and here’s my top ten episodes of Buffy based on the following critera:

1. Willow, Xander, Bangle, Andrew or Anya-ness.
2. Must contain at least one episode from each season
3. Episodes I would watch again and again
4. Laugh/entertainment OR thought factor

So here we go (cut for spoilers):



10. Angel (Season 1)
Why? Mmmm check the Bangle factor, plus Darla is awesome in this epsiode for not having a bunch of back story as she does later on.

9. Hells Bells (Season 6)
While I hate the heart break here, the hilariousness between both sides of the families, plus the inner struggle Xander feels makes for great television. It captures pre-wedding jitters, confusion and heartbreak so well. Plus, Anya’s dress rocks.

8. School Hard (2)
Spike and Dru. ’nuff said. Plus Joyce with an axe scaring Spike off is awesome.

7. Storyteller (7)
Andrew rocks the casbah. Seriously. This episode has the great workings of hilariousness, seriousness and Andrew. Did I mention Andrew?

6. The Replacement (5)
This episode is great food for discussion. Do we really contain both sides to be an amazingly dorky geek AND a put-together go-getter? Plus Anya’s line about waiting until later to put them back together had me laughing for days.

5. Fear Itself (4)
I adore Oz’ lines in this one (Especially the ongoing “God” joke), plus this gives insight into my favorite characters – Oz, WIllow, Xander and who couldn’t love Anya in a bunny suit? I especially like the tribute to the quote “nothing to fear but fear itself”.

4. Passion (2)
As much as I love Bangle… I love this episode. Maybe because I love Bangle so much. It shows the dark side of a romance gone wrong, the darkside of ourselves (after all don’t we all have an inner Angelus creeping under the surface?) David B. was GREAT as a handsome evil man and I think he should pick up that kind of role again.

2. Band Candy (3)
Probably one of the funniest episodes ever. The reversion into teenage years, Principal Snyder, Giles/Joyce (which SHOULD HAVE HAPPENED MORE)….ahem (and to clarify, not because of the whole Buffy parent/s thing.. because they were awesome together). Ethan Rayne AND the Mayor? Great bad guys.

1. Doppelgangland
I adore vamp Willow, love vamp Willow and Willow interacting, love the foreshadowing, love Willow pretending to be vamp Willow… and really love the ending.

    We’re ever imaginative? Cool! :)
    These are good episodes, all… except for “Angel” (but that’s just imo).

    ha… Ted was… interesting. I loved the concept. Loved John Ritter…. but the episode is a bit too sharp for me!
