Well, my favorite episode is The Zeppo, without a doubt. But "favorite" and "best" are different things. Best is probably Once more with Feeling, The Gift, Hush, or the Body.

Well, I like the same ones as everyone else, it seems.

Hush and OMWF - I saw the latter on TV before I watched the show regularly, and I loved it. I loved the songs, and the lyrics - it was so well done. Watching the same ep later, after watched every episode leading up to it - it's very powerful. And those dudes from Hush are scary. My favorite part of Hush is where Xander thought Spike killed Anya.

Those are the two...most artistic, I guess is the word. But I really like The Gift and Chosen. When Buffy realizes she'll have to die...that part is great. And Chosen is the best end for a show in history. The part where the original four are standing in that circle, discussing a upcoming visit to the mall; it's great. Sucks that Anya dies; but ah well.

I also like the one where Riley leaves, because of Xander and his two monologues. That guy is awesome. I also love his proposal in The Gift.

"Hush" tops my list. It's the first ep I ever saw, and it's the one that I've drawn in more converts with than any other.

History doesn't always repeat itself. Sometimes it merely shouts "Weren't you listening the first time?!?" and lets fly with a club.

My favorite episode of Buffy, while difficult to choose, has to be Becoming, parts I and II (ok, so two episodes, I choose to count them as one).
I love Whistler´s monologue. "... the big moments are gonna come, you can´t help that, it´s what you do afterwards that counts. That´s when you find out who you are." I love Buffy´s reply when Angel asks her what she has left after
her friends, family and weapons have been taken away. "Me". Her reaction when Angel gets his soul and his memories back and she realizes that she has to kill him. Her sadness when she walks alone in the streets after losing Angel and "Full of Grace" is playing in the background. Everything about this episode is just so beautiful, heartwrenching and amazing.

Other favorites include, Surprise/Innocence, The Gift and Once More With Feeling.

OMG you all blaspheme! the best episode was "The Gift". It's how the series should have ended, with Buffy being remembered as a martyr. not to mention the most kickass battle seen of all the scoobys fighting together. using Olaf's hammer and the Dagon sphere and the Buffy bot. that was amazing. The ending honsetly made me cry when you could here what she told Dawn and they showed Buff laying on the the pile of rubble at the end.

I listed this as one of my favorites...honestly, if the series had ended here, that would have been fine with me. Willow, Anya, and Spike would still be alive that way (I know Spike is still alive, but none of the Buffy-gang know this, so for all intents and purposes, he's dead).
The trade-off, of course, is we miss out on awesome episodes like OMWF, and charactors like Principal Wood. Plus the last episode of the show was really awesome, you must admitt.

In my opinion, "favorite," and "best," are very different things, so I have trouble thinking up the best one. However, my favorite Buffy episode will always be season 3's "The Zeppo".

Huh? Willow didn't die... Also, assuming Andrew told people Spike was back (or if you count him as one of the Scoobies), then they do know he's alive.

I can't believe no-one mentioned "Restless", the season 4 coda that provided some of the most fluid, stream-of-conciousness narrative ever seen on television, as well as introducing us to The Primitive, who went on to play a larger role in the season following. In fact, much of Buffy's future is reflected in these exquisite dream sequences, which are more truly dream-like, especially in the way the relfect and distort each character's past to distill the essence of that character's relationship to self and the world. I registered on this site just so I could say that.

It's tough to call favorites....so I'm going to list some of my favorite "things" in the Buffy verse:

Favorite Villian - The Mayor by FAR. He was the perfect blend of humor and horror. He seemed soft right until you pushed him that extra little bit, and suddenly he was evil personified. He made some GREAT eps.

Okay...now that's out of the way, I guess I can come up with some episodes that I just love more than the others that I love.

OMWF of course.

Hush is just genius through and through.

The Zeppo was so damn funny, and the music was outstandingly "fitting."

Damnit, can't remember the name of the 2-parter at the end of season 2 where Buffy kills Angel, but that HAS to be in there. Some truly emotional stuff when she shoved that sword through. Awesome television.

Prom - The wife and I love that episode. Always brings the tear (men can cry!)

The Body - an alternative to the above, the wife can't stomach this one because of it's power. I remember the first time I watched it, my jaw was on the floor for the whole episode. I remember hating commercials more than ever before in that one, because it broke that mastery for five minutes at a time.

I love the cave-girl episode. It wasn't like perfect or anything, but there were just damn funny parts in it.

Halloween (season 4) - Oh man, such a great ep. Giles with a chainsaw, Anya in a bunny suit, the mini-demon and buffy's laughter.

One of my favorite moments in Buffy of ALL time was when Willow went evil she-bitch, and Buffy and Giles are in the training room of the Magic Box...and they share a huge laugh that seemed so REAL at a moment of imminent peril (isn't it always). I'm assuming it had to be real, as both actors just seemed to really be heartily laughing. Great moment.

Okay, those are my random as hell thoughts
