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

[Morpheus]

Bye-bye to "The Zeppo"...

 

[Cthulhudrew]

Seasons 2 and 3 had their dark moments (Passion, Becoming, Helpless), but they were mixed up with the fun and fluffy stuff (Bewitched Bothered and Bewildered, the Zeppo, Doppelgangland). Season 6 and the last quarter of season 5 had very little in the way of "relief".

Rewatching the various DVDs recently, I was struck by how "dark" Season One was in comparison to the others. It was much more horror than later seasons- though I suspect you refer to "dark" in the sense of moody drama, rather than horror.

The Body

Too uniconic to be the best. It was good at what it did, but it shouldn't be the best because it is not at all representative of the show's themes, meanings, and conventions.

Remove "The Gift"

Does anyone doubt that this will come down to "Hush" or "OMWF"?

gotta go with Silvermoon on this one. The Body is a very well done piece, but I always skip it.

Fling 'The Body.'

 

[Silver Moon]

Does anyone doubt that this will come down to "Hush" or "OMWF"?

Not necessarily, there is one other one on the list that I like better than those two. Then again, my favorite episode ("The Wish") didn't even make the list, so what do I know.

 

[Mr. Patient]

It looks like my favorite episode (The Zeppo) is about to be voted off the island. Oh well. I will continue to try to eliminate Passion.

 

[Tauric]

Dump "The Body".

Excellently acted, scripted, directed, but really painful to watch multiple times. IMHO, that bars it from truly being the best.
