Which episode do you think is the best episode of all time?
I loved converasations with dead people, and storyteller, and of course once more with feeling! But i love tabula rasa, family, intervention, restless and the freshman too. its so hard to decide, but i think my very very top one would have to be Once More With Feeling.

what do you think?

My favorite is also Once more with Feeling, i also really loved the Zeppo, the first season episode when Buffy realized must die when battling the Master really Showcased SMG talent oh and the Thankgiving one very trenchant dialouge i quote it all the time.

Hands freakin down - Bad Beer.
Runner up? Gentlemen Callers/Hush.

Does it make me warped that the ONLY time I found Buffy attractive was when she was 'cave buffy' ?

The beer episode has a special place in the hearts of me, my girl, and two friends cause at the end, listening to that dorks ludicrous, phony 'apology' we were expecting the usual round of pathetic forgiveness that validates such slime, and thus were chanting "hit him, clout him, do him in!" like an angry mob of rabid soccer fans....

When she bonked him we started cheering, it was kinda freaky, but then, I have some pretty bloodthirsty friends.

Beer good, yellow, foamy, com-for-ting...

More accurately, they're all tied for #1 but if I had to break it down:

1. Hush -- I can create a new Buffy convert by showing them this episode (commercial free works best).
2. The Body -- I can relate to this one far more than I'd like to be able to. Powerful stuff
3. Once More With Feeling -- Before it premiered I was VERY concerned this would suck. Silly me. This musical is just brilliant.
4. Dopplegangland -- Evil Willow rules our dimension (or tries to anyway).
5. The Zeppo -- Sexually aggressive Faith. Need I say more?

Actually, I love ALL of the Buffy episodes except for the hyena one which I thought was way too cheesy. Cheesier even than the one with the dummy.

I did not start watching Buffy regularly until 'Hush'. It's not the best hour of TV I've ever seen, but it has stuff as clever as the statue of Jayne. I liked the 'let's go do it.' motion that Anya shows Zander.

I'ts really that episode that started me on the path to Firefly and my commentary project.

definitely Once More With Feeling. That goes so above and beyond that I can't even compare the rest of the eps to it. It's simply brilliant and never loses its power no matter how many times I watch it. Other favorites are Hush, Selfless, Fool For Love, Passion, Restless, many more...

She's terse. I can be terse. Once in flight school, I was laconic.

it's so weird. i heard so much praise for "once more with feeling" and i really looked forward to seeing it and then i did - just yesterday - and it didn't reach me at all. they all sing nice enough some more than nice and the story was ok and the secrets told were fitting and interesting but it never reached me. the music was cheesy and just so very mediocre lalala music it was actually getting on my nerves. but that's just me maybe. there seem to be millions of fans out there that really love it so it can't be real.

i watched "tabula rasa" right after and it was really good. made me feel better even if it was sad. not to disappointed any more.

...and "beer bad" is my second last best liked ep up to now (does that make sense, sounds almost bufyyish). her hitting parker in the end was a good thing but all the rest of the ep was just lame.
worst is "homecoming". buffy lost so much of my respect in that one i can't begin to tell. can't watch it again i think or i would really start looking down on her and thet's not good for the rest of the series.

the best in my humble oppinion would be "passion" i think. such a strong ep about all the different forms of passion. passion of love, passion of hate, passion of grief. it's all about emotions and how they try to be your master and rule your life. and how you have to sort them out and keep on going. it doesn't make too much sense all on it's own so I don't think it would be a good ep to take someone into the universe of buffy but embedded in the second season arc it's just awsome.

but there really are lots of good ones. funny ones and sad ones and ones that get you thinking and feeling. it's a good show. I will wait a while before i decide if it will become the third series that I declare myself a fan of. first of them is Farscape and second is Firefly.

The Zeppo is my favourite. I love that episode to bits and have watched it so many times.

But Hush is pure genius - as is Once More, With Feeling.

Book: “A duel?”
Wash: “With swords?”
Simon: “The Captain's a good fighter, he must know how to handle a sword?”
Zoe: “I think he knows which end to hold.”

Chosen. Its the perfect ending and had a huge impact. Everything came together perfectly and showcases what a great show Buffy is. Once More, With Feeling is my second favourite.

How can anyone say Beer Bad is the best episode? It's awful, between that and Doublemeat Palance its got to be the worst episode ever.

#3 THE PROM

A deeply touching moment when Buffy is recognized by her fellow students at Sunnydale High School.

More importantly, however, Buffy & Angel break up.

#2 SMASHED

Hottest. Scene. Ever.

It's worth it just to hear the zipper.

#1 BAND CANDY

No other episode has made me laugh harder or howl with so much pain. Willow's "Or maybe there's a Billy Joel concert in town..." was just L-O-W. Funny as all freakin' hell, but it just made me feel so OLD! That just hurt. I first watched it recorded on tape and I had to stop the tape because my husband and I were literally howling in pain at that low blow.

But it was still hilarious. I've probably watched this episode more often than any other.
