Lists (cause who doesn't love 'em)

[artiswar]

Top Ten Buffy

1. Becoming (Pt 2)
2. The Body
3. Once More With Feeling
4. Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered
5. Passion
6. Hush
7. Selfless
8. Lies My Parents Told Me
9. Fool For Love
10. Storyteller

This was hard, had to leave out Crush, The Gift, and other good stuff, but that's my pretty definitive Top 10.

Top 10 Angel

1. Five By Five
2. Darla
3. Reprise
4. Lullaby
5. Benediction
6. Apocalypse Nowish
7. Spin The Bottle
8. A Hole In The World
9. Shells
10. Not Fade Away

Gah this was freakin harder. A lot of Season 5 was cut out of this unfortunately as I had to boil it down.

Top 5 Underrated Buffyverse Episodes

1. Goodbye Iowa
2. The Killer In Me
3. Life Of The Party
4. Awakening
5. Blood Money

Goodbye Iowa is massively underrated, but I love it because we get to cut Riley open and poke around his insides (in the good way). Massive development for Riley and awesome acting for Marc Blucas.

The Killer In Me is one of my faves in Season 7, probably the only one in which i really love Kennedy, and that last scene ALWAYS brings me to tears.

Life Of The Party. No sure why people hate this so much... relationship progression, lots of Lorne, and so much comedy I laugh my a$$ off through this entire episode.

Awakening. People hate this because it's apparently inconsequential. To me, a delicious character study of Angel, and wraps up all the plot threads in a neat little bow complete with happy ending, only to pull the rug out and show us what makes Angel such an awesome show: Nothing comes easy, and the conclusion is never clean and without loss.

Blood Money. Another ep people rag on. Lots of comedy, more dark Angel, and hilarity between Lilah and Lindsey. Good entertainment.

Top 5 - ANGEL:

1. You're Welcome
2. A Whole in the World
3. Not Fade Away
4. Smile Time
5. Hero

Top 5 -BUFFY:
1. Chosen

4. Hush
5. This Year's Girl / Who are You?

I cannot watch the episodes "You're Welcome" "A Whole in the World" "Not Fade Away" and "Chosen" without getting a tad emontional. Those were the most amazing episodes ever.

[El Diablo Robotico]

Are we doing "favorite" or "best"? 'Cause there are episodes that I consider my favorites, that I freely admit aren't as 'good' as some others. "Fool for Love" is my favorite "Buffy", for example, but "Becoming 1&2" probably gets my vote for 'best'.

Oh, well, I'll do favorites, 'cause that's more fun (and easier).

Top 10 "Buffy":
1 - "Fool for Love"
2 - "Bad Girls"
3 - "Doppelgangland"
4 - "Intervention"
5 - "Becoming" (parts 1&2; I consider them as a single ep)
6 - "Triangle"
7 - "Beer Bad" ('cause Sarah cracks me up)
8 - "Once More With Feeling"
9 - "Storyteller"
10 - "Tabula Rasa"

Top 10 "Angel":
1 - "Five by Five"/"Sanctuary" (again, I consider them as one)
2 - "Orpheus"
3 - "Damage"
4 - "Smile Time"
5 - "Spin the Bottle"
6 - "The Shroud of Rahmon" (everyone's so silly ;D )
7 - "City of"
8 - "Not Fade Away"
9 - "Waiting in the Wings"
10 - "Destiny"

Bottom 5 "Buffy":
144 - "Bring on the Night"
143 - "Teacher's Pet"
142 - "Help"
141 - "Reptile Boy"
141 - "As You Were"

Bottom 5 "Angel":
110 - "She"

Guys, 2-parters really can't be counted as one episode cause that's 2 hours of television versus one, which is just unfair, because then almost every single two parter would make the list due to much more content and goodies than in a regular buffy episode.

[artiswar]

alycat - No Place Like Home is in your bottom five?? That episode would be in my top 20 or even top 15. Am I missing something?

ded1 - beer bad? Huh? HUH?? >.<

[Enisy]

Very rough estimation:

1) The Gift
2) Fool for Love
3) Once More, With Feeling
4) Restless
5) The Body
6) Innocence
7) Chosen
8) Conversations with Dead People
9) Hush
10) Who Are You?

Currently rewatching Buffy, so it's subject to change.

[charlesgunn]

Buffy
1. The Gift (best characterization of the show)
2. Surprise (one of the best twists in TV history)
3. Hush (acting, directing, best villains)
4. Becoming pt. 2 (Incredible season finale)
5. Restless (David Lynch and Steven Soderbergh meets Joss Whedon)
6. Passion (shows the ruthlessness of Angelus and great acting by everyone)
7. OMWF (Never enjoyed musicals until this episode)
8. Innocence (Two words, Rocket and Launcher)
9. Chosen (Amazing series finale)
10. The Body (Really helped me get over the death of my father)

5 Underrated Buffy episodes
1. The Freshman (I felt similar to Buffy on my first day at college)
2. Primeval (I always thought Adam was an underrated villain)
3. The Zeppo (Need more Xander centric episodes)
4. Band Candy (Principal Snyder and Joyce/Giles shenanigans)
5. The Wish (alternate Buffy universe)

Angel
1. Not Fade Away (One of the best series finales ever)
2. A Hole in the World (One of Joss's best episodes in all of the Buffyverse)
3. Sleep Tight (One of the few episodes that brings me to tears)
4. Orpheus (Faith (Marry me Eliza) and we get to see more about Angel's past)
5. Are You Now, Or Have You Ever Been (Angel in the 50s and The Hyperion, need I say more)
6. Smile Time (acting, directing, and Angel as a puppet)
7. Spin the Bottle (Great look at the development of each character; incredibly funny as well)
8. You're Welcome (Great episode, gets Angel back on his path)
9. Apocalypse Nowish (Battle against the Beast was epic)
10. There's No Place Like Plrtz Glrb (Good Season Finale)

5 Underrated Angel
1. Home (Wolfram and Hart + Angel = Awesomeness)
2. Forgiving (The depths Angel will go to protect his "family")
3. Billy (Cordy and Wes character development)
4. Reunion (Dark Angel, Dru, and Darla)
5. That Old Gang of Mine (Gunn)
