Episode Content: Season 6

A hilarious musical, sex with Spike, and some mood-setting episodes worthy of Poe. What more could one want out of television?

There is one exception to this: Hells Bells. Worst. Episode. Ever. I will never forgive them for doing a hackneyed TV cliche of a "Where's the groom?" wedding episode. Blech.

Plot: Season 3

A truly well set-up plotline begun before the season started.

Outcome: Tied between Season 2 & Season 3

I could see the S2 ending coming, and I still cried. Predictability is usually one thing I will not tolerate in plots (see comments on Hells Bells above...), but this was so stunning, I didn't even care that I saw it coming.

As for the S3 ending, Snyder got eaten by a big, scary snake. Couldn't'a happened to a nicer guy. Except maybe Warren.

Overall: Season 3

The Mayor was the best and most hilarious villain, the season had Band Candy (my all-time fav episode, thank you JANE ESPENSON!) and Angel and Buffy broke up! Woo Hoo!

Episode content: Season 2. The introduction of Spike, Drucilla and Oz, Angel turning evil, Buffy killing Angel to save the world, Oz and Willows relationship, Jenny's death, and a rocket launcher. Buffys best year.
Runner up: Season 6.

Plot: Season 7. Gotta agree, the First Evil and Ubervamp idea was great.
Runner up: Season 2.

Outcome: Season 7. The perfect ending to a nigh-on-perfect show. The whole show came full circle and was much more satisflying than the ending of season 5.
Runner up: Season 3. Love Oz's line, 'We survived. Not the battle, high school.

Help if you can!

If you have a picture of Buffy that you like you can e-mail it to Haken at haken@fireflyfans.net, I figure if you can get custom avatars of Firefly pics, why not one of Buffy? Hey, and if you need Buffy pics I have tons. Hope this helps.

Favorite Season: Season 3
Favorite Episode: Season Finale of Season 2, I cry everytime.
Favorite Plot: Season 2 - Angelus, I love David evil!
Favorite Outcome: Season 5 Finale, again crying everytime.

Best Storyline: From Season 4 of Buffy to Season 1 of Angel; Faith awakens. I love how when she woke up, she was just as bitter and hateful towards Buffy as before, perhaps more, due to 8 months of vivid 'Buffy-stabbing-the-only-person-I-care-about-to-death' dreams. Then comes the body switch, where Faith learns what it means to be Buffy, and realizes that it's herself she hates. The bus pulls into L.A., and mahem ensues. After being contracted by W&H, she tortures Wesley for a bit, then is treated to pastries the next day, after revealing her true self to Angel during one of the best action sequences I've ever seen. Then Buffy strolls into Angel's Town, and he gives her whatfor, sticking up for Faith, who is exhausted on several levels, and wants to change her ways. Wackiness ensues as the Watcher's Council try (yet again) to capture Faith, and fail miserably (yet again). The 'Faith' multi-show arc ends with her turning herself in to the authorities.

A complete transformation of character for Faith.
A realization of independence for Angel.
A rude awakening for Buffy.
A couple of scars for Wesley.

Favorite Episode: Passion (season 2)- evil Angel, death of Jenny and a great ending that leaves my crying everytime. Band Candy and Tabula Rossa were great funny type episodes.

Favorite Outcome: Season 2- gut wrenching pain and anguish. Great funny moments when Spike and Buffy call a truce.

Favorite Season: Season 5- Dawn/Glory storyline was fun. Lots of sad moments and great funny scenes (Spike being tortured by Glory was a hoot!). Dawn's crush on Spike was great. Rileys exit made sence and he was a good charecter. The start of the Spike/Buffy relationship was very entertaining. Dealing with Tara's mind mush was tuff. Willows growth as a witch. Awesome stuff.

Episode content: Tie Season 3 & 4
Plot: Season 2
Outcome: Season 2
Overall: Season 2

I think alot of people underestimate Season 4. While I would agree that the overall plotline of 4 wasn't great (Adam and the Initiative were at best, "eh") there were TONS of great standalone episodes and memorable scenes.

Book: I was there, son. I'm fair sure you haven't shot anyone yet.

i think that season two was best overall but season 7 was so sad poor spike and poor buffy, plus the whole fighting chick dawn rocked.

Overall Season 3 had the best episodes. It is without a doubt the Ultimate in the Senior year of High School experience.

Outcome Season 6. All of the Buffy seasons have a big bad but, if you rewatch the episodes, the fact that it will eventually be Willow is thrown in our faces then, pulled way back. I cant wait till my DVDs Get here so i can pass along my tapes.

Episode content - Season 6. You just get so much of Sarah Michelle Gellar really acting. Buffy is just so torn up by the world around her and forced to deal. I'm not overly fond of the Double Meat Palace, though. But "Dead Things" was pure genius.

Plot - Season 7. The march to war, the big victory at big cost, characters learning about their true nature. Good stuff.

Outcome - Season 2. Buffy is learning about the true cost of her gift. Killing Angel affects her life permanently.

Overall - Season 5. This season defines Buffy as a hero, and it defines the prupose of those arond her. Buffy figures out who she is and what she has to do. And it doesn't matter how many times I watch "The Gift," I still cry every time that sad piano tune comes on and we know she's going to sacrifice herself. Also, Spike's torn up look when he sees her lying on the bricks just makes me start bawling.

You know, I've been concentrating on Angel and Firefly so much for the last year I'd have to go back over my Buffy DVD's and tapes in order to do a thorough decision. But for now I'll agree with Angeldove and I'll tell you why.

I wasn't into Buffy when it first came out.(gasp!) I was a huge fan of vampires which is why I didn't like Buffy. I though it degraded the vampires. But, when I'd heard what had happened with Angel my mouth gaped open and I regreted not being there first-hand to see it. What balls Joss had for, not only, turning one of the main characters into the main villain and arch nemesis of the show, but killed off another character as well. I've been hooked ever since.

And you really couldn't ask for a better ending to a show than Season 5. Wow. Then it was all ripped away by Season 6. But, as disappointing as Season 6 was, so bad that I gave up on it, that history repeated itself when a quiet, kind, loving, gay little red-head turned into our hero's newest main villain and arch nemesis, as well as killing off another character of the show. Damn! Twice! You know it's funny. I never put those two together 'til now.
