Buffy: Synchronized slaying. Faith: New Olympic category?
'Conversations with Dead People'
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.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
So, I was reading this for some reason: [link]
The only highlights are James M being missing several teeth due to people kicking him in the face whilst shooting Dragonball Zeeeee (that shoot is going well, then) and the girl who flew from Ireland to the US to see him play a guitar.

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.
Best Episodes of Buffy?:
The Body, Hush, OMWF
This is a recommendation for a co-worker. Any thoughts?

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I wouldn't start with The Body if they're unfamiliar with the show.
OMWF is the one that sucked me in.

They are familiar with it in that they know what it is about and have seen the movie. I was trying to explain how the tone of the series is completely different.

I might start with season 3

I think "Prophecy Girl" would be good. Once you get into the second season, the mythology starts to build and it's harder to just jump in. I watched it from the first episode, though, so what do I know.

I am not expecting to "convert" this person and get them to watch all of it. Just give them a taste so that they know what the fuss is all about.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
The Body is really good television , but not anything that will convince anyone unless they are an analytical television watcher. The power comes partly fro knowing the characters and partly from knowing the usual way tv is deals with death.
Prophecy girl is good and Hush and OMWF but I might also pick something like BB and B or the Zeppo or something like that where Buffy is far from the focus of the episode

Hey. New board.
(Shrug) I was sucked in by Buffy vs. Dracula and believe that pretty much any "standard" episode is a good introduction. I actually think that Hush and The Body are very bad first episodes because they are so much more impressive as "WTF this is different!"s. Surprise/Innocence wouldn't be a bad place to start, maybe, as the only backstory you really need to follow it is "Buffy and Angel are totally in love, k?" and it's one of the best examples of the central metaphor, though rather lacking in the funny.
