"Buffy-vivor": Pick the ultimate Buffy episode! (Come vote in the finals!)

Hmm. It's a tough call between Tabula Rasa & Seeing Red. I think I have to go with Tabula Rasa.

Speaking of which, can we have an Angel-vivor next? And then pit the winners of the two series against each other? Smile Time will clearly win, but I'd like to make it official (giggle)

If there's enough interest, sure.
Though I really liked Puppet!Angel, IMHO, I'm not sure that "Smile-TIme" would necessarily win for the season, let alone overall. Some of the 4th Season episodes were truly phenomenal, and added to the overall arc of the Season, where "Smile Time" was just a funny one-off episode.

I have to vote with Once More With Feeling. It's the most memorable episode they've done, and one of my top two favourites (with Hush). Fabulously different episode.

No question about it...."Once more with Feeling"

 

[Richards]

"Once More With Feeling," with "Tabula Rasa" as a close second.

"Once More With Feeling" is one of the best 42 minutes of TV ever.

I loved the finale where Xander ends up saving the world. I shed a single tear at that moment but as a whole, the musical wins it. Pure brilliance. It could have crashed and burned but instead it was pure joy and is always one of my main arguements for continuing the series past season 5.

You've got that right. Watching The Body brought back many feelings I had after my fathers death 10 years ago, and really made me think about what I went through at the time. I've never had a reaction to a tv show or movie on such a personal level. Joss and cast were able to take something that almost everyone has to deal with at some time in their life and make an episode mean something personally.

Classic TV. I can't ever see anyone doing that kind of episode any better.

 

[Cthulhudrew]

Once More With Feeling. Definitely.

 

[Berandor]

Once more with feeling.
