With the sixth and seventh seasons, it’s a bit easier to pick a favorite episode, seeing as the good ones actually stand out against a backdrop of crappy ones, but the fifth season is definitely a challenge. Just behind Season Three in cohesive awesomeness, Season Five has a fairly consistent spread of excellence over its…

So because I already chose “Restless” as my favorite episode overall, I can’t just choose it again. Well, I could, but I won’t. That’s called cheating. And cheaters never prosper, except they totally do or no one would ever do it. But I digress.

How do I love Season Three? Oh, let me count the ways. The Mayor Faith Armin Shimerman’s Principal Snyder Angel finally leaving because he’s toxic to Buffy Buffy realizing that everyone kind of knew something was special about her but acted like dicks anyway because they were high schoolers on the Hellmouth and then completely…

Ahhh, Season Two, when things actually start to get good. Not as good as Season Three, but definitely an improvement from its twelve-episode predecessor: Spike and Drusilla appear to wreak havoc on Sunnydale, Angel and Buffy’s relationship explodes (in more ways than one), the stakes are raised in ways I couldn’t have predicted, what it…

Alright, this is going to be a really short entry for multiple reasons. Season One is one of the weaker seasons, and I basically looked at all the episodes and tried to pick which one I hated the least. I don’t watch that many episodes from this season. I don’t really have much to say…

I was actually pleasantly surprised at how hard this challenge was. There are many, many bad episodes of Buffy. I mean, the show spanned seven seasons, so naturally, there have to be at least a few turds in that salad. I can’t really say there are any episodes I won’t watch on principle. (Wait, that’s not entirely…

Yep, I’m still using my “how often do you watch this” criteria here, for consistency’s sake, I suppose? Anyway, unlike yesterday’s challenge, my answer did not change from the one I gave five years ago, so I’m not even going to hide it behind a cut: “Restless,” the season four finale, is still one of…

Over seven seasons, you’ve got great villains, like yesterday’s Mayor Wilkins, Season Five’s Glory, or Season Two’s Spike, Drusilla, and Angel. They strike fear into the Scoobies. The viewers honestly don’t know how the good guys will manage to triumph, but they partially don’t care because the villains are just so … fascinating. You may not…

Oooooh, yessssss. Villains. When Buffy does them well, it does them very, very well. And it doesn’t get any better than Season Three’s Mayor Wilkins. Sorry, Glory. You definitely were a contender, though.

I know you probably guessed that this would be Xander, and normally, you’d be right, because fuck Xander and the fragile masculine toxicity he rode in on. Well, you’d be incorrect! You know how on Parks and Recreation, there’s Mark Brendanewicz for the first two seasons? And how he disappears and the show gets better? And…
