To me that doesn't say "Representative" or "Best" or "Best for newbies" - it says episodes like Restless and The Body and OMWF that were daring and experimental beyond the boundaries of what people thought a high school fantasy TV show could do.
What Jessica said.
I'm thinking maybe the headline was rewritten by the editor
If you read the whole piece, though, it's pretty clear they're not making a "best of" list.
Actually if you substitute "Hush" for "Something Blue" that list would pretty much be my top 10. Since I think of "Prophecy Girl" as the best episode of the series, I'm glad to see it up there.

Prophecy Girl is also, I think, the most accessible season finale to the casual viewer. (Unsurprisingly, as they'd had only half a season to build up mythology.)
I hesitate to say "hey, let's do a deathmatch to find our top episodes!" only because those who suggest such things usually get volunteered to run them and wow, do I not have time to do that....
(Amy and I are about to do a two person deathmatch in SPN--the accounting will be simple)
(Like that is news)
(Want to see the post totals again and laugh at me?)
Beau asked me: "What was Giles' first name?"
I answered, but thought: "is THAT the Buffy trivia you want to test me with first thing this morning? Bring IT!"
Blastr says that Jeff Pruitt has released a bunch of behind the scenes stuff from Buffy - which you can find on his youtube page.
