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?
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 started watching with Becoming, part 2. And, yes, I think it totally deserves to be in the top 5.
Is Buffy on Netflix (asked the person who can't get her dvd player to work)?
Yes, though as I mentioned during my recent rewatch, OMWF is the syndicated cut and there is a LOT missing.
Buffy is leaving Netflix at the end of the month.
I think I actually know where my DVDs are.
