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

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

This literally has not changed since I did my challenge all the way back in 2013, so there is absolute no reason to hide it behind the cut. Because it is Emma Caulfield’s Anya. Anya Anya Anya, from now until eternity. Anya.

I usually wait until the end of the month to do this, but dammit, I just got too excited. Plus, this is a super easy challenge day because all I have to do is post videos!

I went back and read my initial foray into this question and again found myself disagreeing with the words I wrote. Well, not all of them, because most of my problems with Season Seven (race, consent, misogyny, unresolved plot holes, constant monologues, etc.) are still valid, and trust me when I say I will
