One of the joys (and massive pitfalls) of fandom is that one person's best ep is another person's eh. And vice versa. There are the rare few we can all generally accept as the most brilliant and the ones that didn't work.
Ah, fandom.
I liked Lilah with her scar. Decapitation is ... well, not funny - but damn it worked for me.
We're talking about it in Other Media.
I feel like we should be talking about it in here. I mean, I know we should be talking about it in there, but you know...
Wait, it's out? Today? In comic book stores?
YES! Well yesterday, now. My shop was sold out. I got my two copies, because I reserved them, but it sold right out.
Conversely, I thought "Heartthrob" was the best season opener of the series' entire run, loved "That Vision Thing" and "Carpe Noctem," and didn't really think the suck set in until "Fredless" (hated the ep despite loving the Burkles).

I'd put "Heartthrob" second, after "Deep Down." I didn't like it at the time, though.
But a lot of S3 episodes are horrible. Absolutely horrible. I don't know if I'd say that even half of them could be described as "good." It is my favorite season because of the arc, which is like an awesome demolition derby. I'd never claim it was the best season.
"Heartthrob" was actually the reason I found TWoP. I don't think I actually
saw
it until I bought the DVDs.
Just to remind people, there is Buffy discussion in our "Other Media" thread (formerly known as Jossverse in Other Media). Also, I've recapped issue one of the BtVS Season 8 comic, in my LJ. [link] Warning. It contains full comic spoilers for the current issue.
Phases!
Erm, sumi, you're going to post again between, say, 6:30 and 6:45, yes? Because, yeah, that forgetful...
Huh. I need a Comma Abusers Anon meeting.
We, refuse, to be, closeted, except for when, that guy, who uses us for ellipsis, is around, then, we lock ourselves, in.
So the commas like my abuse?
Masochists. I like that in punctuation.
