I have seen the best or favorite episode/scene a million times. Almost literally. I've been on and off the boards since '99. Sometimes the answers amaze me. But what I've noticed that there are some episodes that never make any list, as if forgotten or overlooked.

So, your assignment is to think about the answers you've given and lists you've seen and then about the eps that never get their due.

My inspiration for this question is "Helpless." Such a great episode. So dark, so creepy. And so awesome, because Buffy kicks ass with no strengh! And no one EVER talks about it!

Yeah, 'Helpless' came to my mind too.
Also, 'Who Are You', the one where Buffy and Faith switch bodies. They both do such a good acting job that I can almost believe Eliza is in Sarah's body and vice versa...

Killed By Death, season 2. It was one of the better eps that never gets mentioned, and so amazing that they worked the demon in as the killer of Buffy's cousin(?). Smiling bad guy seems to be the template for the Gentlemen in Hush, same level of creepafy-e-ness.

How about 'Intervention' in season 5?
I don't think I've seen that mentioned a lot, and it's one of my favourites. The banter with Buffybot and the others, "How is your money?", the spooky scene with Buffy and the First Slayer, Spike standing up to Glory and we get a little foreshadowing of the Buffy/Spike relationship.

I've always loved "Same Time, Same Place" from season 7. Great comedy, great dialogue, and the Monster-of-the-Week was creepy and gross. Loved Gnarl. One of the funniest lines when Spike was leading the others to the cave ("yes, let's tie ourselves to the crazy vampire")......when they finally arrive Spike growls to Xander "OK, end of the line,everyone off......."Keep your ticket, you'll need it!!!"....the look on Xander's face is high-larious!!!

I really love Him and Tough Love which never seem to make any lists. Even if the idea was pretty unorignal, Him has got to be one of the funniest eps. I mean come on, Anya as a bank robber!
I love Tough Love because of Willow's attack on Glory which I have to say is one of the coolest moments in the history of television ('wrong. bag of knifes' *tingles*). I've watched that part a ridiculous amount of times.
Oh, I also love Family which rarely gets a mention. I'm such a big Willow/Tara shipper and the floaty dancing at the end is just magical!

I think 'Anne' is highly underrated. It gets a lot of flak, but I think it's really well done, and the ending is very touching.

a) I've been gone for 2 months and you're still at the top of the list!

b) Killed by Death! That's on my worst list. With the exception of the Angelus/Xander stand off, which is one of the greatest moments ever.

Occasionally I am callous and strange.

I'm glad to see "Killed by Death", "Anne", and "Same time, same place" mentioned, especially the latter since it is in my top five. That episode makes me cry every time. Oh, Willow...

I just watched "Blood Ties" today from season five, and while it was not the best episod ever, I think it deserves a mention here both for Dawn's initial reaction to finding out she's the key (especially when she talks with Joyce), and then for Buffy's speech about how Dawn is her sister, no matter how she got there. It warms my sisterly heart.

Yes on that one! I saw that one for the first time a few weeks ago(I'm watching the episodes through FX and kind of alternating with Angel) and I just got goosebumps at the end.
