Lorne: Once the word spreads you beat up an innocent old man, well, the truly terrible will think twice before going toe-to-toe with our Avenging Angel. Spike: Yes. The geriatric community will be soiling their nappies when they hear you're on the case. Bravo.

'The Cautionary Tale of Numero Cinco'


Buffy and Angel 1: BUFFYNANGLE4EVA!!!!!1!

Is it better the second time around? Or the third? Or tenth? This is the place to come when you have a burning desire to talk about an old episode that was just re-run.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I liked Pangs way more than the average bear, I think. I have to watch Restless again toute suite!

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Beer Bad is not the worst episode of Buffy.

I was thinking that too-- maybe Smashed or Spiral?

Where the Wild Things are is certainly worse and probably Smashed, although I thought Wrecked was worse than Smashed. I still like parts of Spiral.

I like when the one where Buffy and Spike have sex in a house, and not the other one, but I can never remember which is which.

I have never rewatched Seasons 6 & 7 since they aired, but maybe I'll start that.

If I'm back from dinner, I'll be here, Sophia.

Smashed=Spike Sex Wrecked=Willow car wreck. I remember it through alliteration.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I'm actually surprised at how much of that list I agree with - the groupings are pretty on point.

I don't think you can argue that The Body is disqualified from being #1 because it's " a tiny art film, starring the Buffy characters" and then award the top spot to OMWF, because, SERIOUSLY?

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Heh, that does seem weird justification, though I actually agree with ranking "Once More, With Feeling" above it. I'd have ranked "Surprise" and "Innocence" higher and dropped "The Gift" in favor of "Prophecy Girl," but in general I think their top 20 is pretty solid.

Much less agreement with the worst episodes, but the authors and I are coming from very opposed views of which season is the best. And it stands to reason, individual pet peeves are going to influence any given person's worst episode.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I started watching with Becoming, part 2. And, yes, I think it totally deserves to be in the top 5.
