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.
Well, then, this is a day I'll feel good to be me.

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.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

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.)

when i die, please bake my ashes into a brick and use me to hit fascists.
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....

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
(Amy and I are about to do a two person deathmatch in SPN--the accounting will be simple)

Because books.
Wow, that sounds sad.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
The Theology Of "Angel" In The City Of Demons
While I've spent decades studying and occasionally practicing religions that appealed to me, I don't much believe any of them. The theology of the television series "Angel" is different, in that you think you're only watching a spinoff of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," but then you realize it's an accurate reflection of reality. A religion usually starts off telling you it's true, and then goes about trying to convince you with this or that story or rule. Also, the realm of "Angel" differs significantly from modern Christianity or Judaism or Hinduism or Voodoo or the pagan-infused Catholicism of Ireland or Eastern Orthodoxy of the Balkans, because the realm of "Angel" is essentially Gnostic. Our world is a black iron prison ruled by cruel alien monsters, while a distant Powers That Be are separated from us by an immense gulf of space, time, understanding and several hundred thousand years of inbreeding with the demons who prowl our world.
