'Conviction (1)'
This is where we talk about Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No spoilers though?if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it. This thread is NO LONGER NAFDA. Please don't discuss current Angel events here.
3 had some damn good episodes, but none that I would put in my top 5. Season 3 probably was the most consistant though.
Also the article on "Slayage" today by Daniel Erenberg was pretty interesting. He ranked all the episodes up to "Touched"...what a feat. Although I wanted to cry after I saw "Pangs" at 4th to last. One of my favorite episodes of all time.

Did anyone watch the live chat with Nick Brendon and Emma Caulfield today at 6 PM ET on Eonline?

Pangs had me breathless with laughter at several points. I don't think I could put it that low. My list shuffles with my mood, though.
Pangs was truly hysterical.
I understand what you're saying about 3 not having the highs (and I get why you rated 4 so high because of it - my exact opinion: best stand-alones and mini-arcs ever). I just thought 2 had a few lows that put it behind 3 and 4. And 3's consistentcy was a thing of beauty, I thought.

Do you have a link?
Kathy here's a link. The list doesn't necessarily speak for me, but the essay above it sure does.
Great essay.
My first episode was The Pack. I have a vivid memory of turning the channel and hearing an English guy say something like, "So Xander is dressing differently and treating his old friends unkindly. Sounds like an ordinary teenager."
Within three weeks I was hooked, and haven't missed an episode since. Oy. Long time.
Thanks! I definitely don't agree with that list, but the essay is great.
I'll have to debate my own list (maybe assemble it later this summer), but offhand, along with the usual top eps (OMwF, Hush, etc.), I'd put Band Candy pretty high up on my list. After three seasons of somewhat unattached viewing (enough to follow the storyline, but not enough to make it Must See TV), Band Candy made me really fall in love with the show. I don't know why, but the goofiness combined with the fun character revealing moments among those adults we didn't get to see much of (I'm including Snyder in with Joyce and Giles, here) really had me enjoying this ep tremendously. The next ep I happened to catch was The Wish, which was a completely different style, but equally engaging.
I loved the essay. I agree with the fact that there has not been a bad episode of Buffy ever. I believe there has not been a bad episode of ME television ever.
Quality control folks, it's in Joss Whedon's blood.
