Sorry guys I know someone must post something like this at least once a week but I don't know anyone that watches buffy as a new fan and had to share it with some one :) Anyway here are my top twenty , please give your opinions ! ( based on how much I enjoyed them)
1: Becoming parts one and two 2:Fool for Love 3:The gift 4: Passion 5: Intervention 6:Spiral 7: Tabula Rusla 8:The wish 9: Lovers walk 10: Doublegang land 11:Earshot 12: Who are you ? 13: The dark age 14:Gingerbread 15: What's my line ?parts one and two 16: Selfless 17:Lies my parents told me 18: Anne 19: Angel 20: Same time , Same place
I agree with Becoming being number one, that is peak Buffy to me, with all of the show’s greatest strengths on display, and honestly the episode that wrecked me the most as an 11 year old watching.
the flashbacks mixed with the action and suspense is just perfection honestly ( you might be able to tell I like flashback episodes from the list lol)
I will do 10, in no particular order but chronological:
Welcome to the Hellmouth / The Harvest \ Prophecy Girl \ Passion \ Becoming \ Doppelgangland \ Pangs \ Hush \ Primeval \ Family \ The Gift
and honorable mention to The Body, which isn't so much a favorite episode of Buffy as simply an exceptional episode of television of any time or genre.
Nice to see alot of episodes from S1 in here ! honestly I think all but one of the episodes from the first season I found enjoyable
primeval appreciation!!
Fool for love, Beer bad,fear itself.
I'd be interested why you like fear itself , I personally didn't like that episode and found it quite similar to where the wild things are
I like it because it highlights things that we would see down the road with Willow and her magic going out of control, Xander's fear of being left behind.
I never thought of it like that actually , makes sense now !
Fear Itself is so good!
Just a top 10 off the top of my head:
Once More, With Feeling
Passions
Band Candy
School Hard
Prophecy Girl
Hush
Restless
The Initiative
Fool For Love
The Zeppo
Passion in the top 4 as it should be
The Wish
The Gift
Bad Girls
Fear, Itself
Living Conditions
School Hard
The Freshman
Ted
Lie To Me
Faith. Hope and Trick
Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered
The Zeppo
Doppelgangland
Band Candy
Conversations with Dead People
When She was Bad
The Witch
Inca Mummy Girl
All the Way
The Pack
Oo there are a lot in here I dont usually see in anyones top twenty which is cool ! Inca mummy girl is really overrated in my opinion but id be interested why When she was bad ranks so high for you ? I get what your saying with the freshman though , it makes me sad because I wish s4 was more vampire centred
I love that you include Selfless, it's one of my favourites.
I LOVE selfless ! its a shame its the only real Anya entered episode we got but its perfect honestly . Also bonus points for Xander finally being exposed for lying to buffy about willow doing the spell at the end of season two
I’m not done but so far I’ve really loved Fool for Love overall
Something Blue was hilarious
Restless because it was so unique
Gotta throw in some older ones so I’ll go:
Dopplegangland
Band Candy
No Hush, The Body, or Once More With Feeling. Those are considered some of the best.
It was based of how much I enjoyed the episodes and how much I would want to watch them again . Obviously all of those episodes are absolute masterpieces however they can be hard to watch and at times not enjoyable ( because there not meant to be) this particularly referencing the body
My Top 20 (in no particular order) would probably be:
The Angelis story arc being ranked so highly is so fair , its what really converted me into being a buffy fan !
My fav is Entropy. Other variable.
love the Gingerbread appreciation. 10/10 episode. A lot of your top 20 are my faves as well.
Yay ! in love the filler episodes honestly and ones that include flashbacks
The episodes that I rewatch the most - in chronological order:
Witch Puppet Show Prophecy Girl When She Was Bad School Hard What's my line (both parts) Homecoming Bad girls Earshot Prom Graduation day (both parts) Living Conditions Beer bad Pangs Triangle Checkpoint Life Serial Gone Him Conversations with dead people Chosen
"Becoming" is a great pick. It's the episode that cemented my attachment to this show, but "Graduation" wins out for me as far as season finales go.
Without Once More with Feeling this list is invalid.
It’s almost like people have subjective opinions about their personal favourite episodes.
I love once more with feeling but I find the songs boring after a while im sorry :(
Overrated episode icl
I’m not a huge musicals person so that one isn’t in my top episodes either.
Bro there's like no season 6 or 7 episodes on here :/
There's 4 so 20 percent , I don't think that's too bad ? Surprised i haven't got any complaints about the lack of season 4 episodes
