1. Yeah, Jinx and Dreg. Those do ring a bell.

2. I'll have to watch Buffy's "dumbass" scene.

3. I FF'd through it again but at a slower speed and caught it. I too, love seeing Giles in Ripper mode. I don't know how consistent this is...but it seems to me whenever he goes into Ripper mode he pulls out his hanky and wipes his hands instead of or in addition to his glasses. Sometimes the glasses come off too.

4. Still seems to me Tara isn't as "far gone" as Glory's other victims. She seems a little bit lucid, whereas the others are completely off their respective nuts.

Chris, is your Kendra question about when Buffy died at the end of "Prophesy Girl"? If so I am confused (even though Jacqui already answered your question--not that Jacqui's answer confused me).

Also, just wanted throw in my fourthing of the declaration that 2 and 3 are the best seasons.

Season 6? I strongly advise no more Season 6 talk until after you've seen "The Gift" and give us your reaction.

Ok, for the primary reason that 'Bored now' has become a phrase in near daily usage in my vocabulary and is a yardstick for spotting Buffy-fans: The Wish

I know, such frivolity compared to the heavy-ness of everyone else but sometimes I just wanna have fun.

"The Wish" is a great episode. But since there are so many great episodes from Season 3 I have trouble singling one out to as a contender for single best episode, because it's like, "Fool for Love" or maybe "Once More with Feeling", or um...something from Season 3.

I've often wondered what it would be like to live in The Netherlands. Is The Netherlands synonomous with Holland or is one part of the other? I've never quote gotten it straight on that. People seem to differentiate as to whether or not they live in Holland or The Netherlands.

The Netherlands is the name of the whole country, Holland is a region. The two are used interchangeably but most people though - including the Dutch, well except for a few very proud of their region who don't want to be labelled anything else.

It is a good place to live, very easy, but it is a bit puritanical (yes really) and bureaucratic at times. It is also one of the most racist places I have ever been to (now I am in trouble). For me as a white middle class person trying to learn their language it is great though - by and large friendly people and a beautiful country in its own right.

Puritanical!? But, but...Amsterdam! They have Amsterdam! And racist? I'm surprised to hear that too.

I have Pm'd you, this is too off topic even for me...

Buffy, Season 3...very cool but I am a sucker for Season 6 (yes, really, someone has to be).

Once More With Feeling is the best.

Followed by The Body, Hush and Restless.

This is my first post here, but have been a Joss Whedon fan from the very beginning so hopefully I'll feel at home here.

I feel like it's too impossible to narrow down a series of 7 incredibly different and unique seasons into one BEST episode ever. But I think everyone did a good job of pointing out the best ones, probably "Hush", "The Body" and "Once More With Feeling". All three proved, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that BTVS was the most original and unique show on TV at the time and quite possibly ever.

BUT, my favorite episode is "Something Blue". So hilarious on so many counts, while still progressing the story in some interesting ways.

Anyway, that's my two cents.

Roger that! "Something Blue" also gets my vote for funniest episode.

Oh yeah, and welcome aboard!
