Top 5 moments in a season.

[Tea - Total]

Season 1.

1) Meeting the characters, the characters development was so good , especially for the first ever season.

2) The master. He was a good big bad just for the first season anyway.

3) Cordelia. especially in the "puppet show" When she trying to sing her heart out, and when she was bugging Giles and he deceitfully dissed her hair, which was hilarious.

4) Prophecy Girl , for me this episode reached the highest bar for the show. Which the development was realistic and the feeling was emotional but highly entertaining.

5) The master death, which is one of the best exits.


Season 2.

1) Spike and Dru, the character development was excellent. I think their character attract the audience because their were brilliant!.

2) Meeting Kendra. Meeting another slayer which makes the mythology of the slayer more deeper.

3) Angel turning into ANGELUS.

4) Passion, This episode reach the highest of standard also innocence, Jenny death was brutal but a great episode.

5) The ending was brilliant.


Season 3

1) Faith, with devotionally turned into a rogue slayer which was unpractical and excellent storyline.

2) The Mayor and Faiths relationship.

3) Finally we have a demon to relate as a big bag.

4) Great episode like Earshot, Helpless, and so on.

5) the prom , Buffy get award for being a class protector.

Season 4

1) Hush, Was excellent .

2) The collage theme, was cool , its just like high school.

3) Spike join the gang. Literally anyway.

4) Willow relationships Tara , Oz. was realistic done.

5) Imaginative ending,

Season 5

1) Glory, This has to be the best development of a big bad, finally we go deeper into the mythology of evil , we have a GOD.

2) The body. I was speechless of its beauty. This episode was realistic and superb.

3) Dawn, i love how the theme of season 5 was unpredictable, great storyline.

4) Spike loves Buffy. LOL.

5) Buffy death. Great ending , actually great TV.

Season 6.

1) I love how Willow abilities of magic has extremely grown, and her inner dark side well show of her abilities of magics. She really became powerful.

2) Buffy resurrection. Was well done, and her character development dragged on but finally we see her true nature.

3) Warren, i liked how finally we have a evil being as a human.
that was realistic to show true nature of our own surrounding and world.

4) Grown up. I liked how every character grew up and their all had consequences, to deal with the meaning of life.

5) Xander saves the day.



Season 7 .

1) The first half of this season was excellent , great line up of episodes.

2) Anya character development went deeper.

3) The first evil. The first evil is the source and embodiment of all that is evil, true existence of sin. So the development of the first evil was excellent and the mythology of evil was deep, But to me i think the first evil has more potential,

4) The ending , was actioned pack of goose bump.

5) The slayer weapon was excellent finally we have a super weapon for the slayer.

[Randi Giles]

In no order by the way.

Season 1.

1) Jesse dying. It was necessary for the story, but I kind of always wished he be part of the scooby gang. He was Xanders only real man friend.

2) When Buffy killed Luke. Such and awesome moment for the slayer just moving to Sunnydale putting the fear in all vampires. A new sheriff in town type of moment.

3) Cordelia in Out of mind, Out of sight. She show a little vulnerability for the first time talking to Buffy about being popular.

4) Xander bringing Buffy back and then her feeling stronger. I really like watching that part with Xander and Angel walking behind her with the theme song playing. She looks powerful at that part.

5) I have to also say the masters death and Buffy final fight with him. A real top moment for the season.

Season 2.

1) Buffy comes back to town and she's bitchin.

2) Spike and Drusilla come to town.

3) Buffy and Angel make love. Not a Bangel fan, but this is a definitely a top moment since Angel loses his soul in the process.

4) When Jenny died still gets to me. She's another person who was a good addition to the scooby team. And she was great for Giles and it suck that she died trying to help Angel. It sucks that it took her dying for Buffy to finally realize she needs to put Angelus down.

5) Willow restoring Angel's soul right when Buffy has to kill him. That really sucked for her.

Season 3

1) Buffy's power moment in Anne when she tying to help Lily and others. Awesome moment.

2) A new slayer in town.

3) Cordy somewhat admits that she may love Xander and then they later break up cause he cheated with Willow. That really sucked. I feel so bad for the both of them at the end of Lovers Walk in the hospital room.

4) Spike, Buffy and Angel. One other main reason I love watching Lovers Walk is not so much because I'm a Spike fan, but more of the fact that this is pretty much the last episode we see these three interact with each other in the series. It's so funny watching Spike and Buffy loathe each other and Angel pretty much having to hold Buffy back from killing him.

5) Class of 99 defeats the mayor. I love everything about that final battle. Cordy stakes her first vampire. All the vampires trying to run away from the chaos only to see Angel with Percy, Wes and others standing behind him ready to kick ass. Angel leaving at the end of it all. Great stuff

Season 4

1) Spike is official

2) Oz leaves and break up with Willow.

3) Oz comes back. I just love that moment. Willow and Tara are a great couple, but I still think Willow and Oz equally match. It sucked that he left again, but Willow had moved on.

4) Primeval. It seems most people always talk about how they love how the scoobies became one defeating Adam, which was good, but I liked the the part where they were fighting all of the demons in the initiative the most. It was so exciting. Plus Adam was a pansy anyway.

5) Restless. I loved every moment in this episode.

Season 5

1) Buffy Vs. Dracula

2) Dawn is Buffy's sister and the key. What?

3) Spike loves Buffy

4) Glory is a god

5)Buffy death in the Gift makes me at least choke up every single time. I'm such a girl.

Season 6.

1) Buffy back from the dead.

2) Spike and Buffy get it on.

3) Tara dies.

4) Willow goes

5) Spike gets his soul back.



Season 7 .

1) Spike is back and with a soul.

2) Faith is back

3) Willow is a goddess.

4) Slayer army kicks ass in the hellmouth.

5) Buffy and Spike burning love in the hellmouth. Their so adorable at that moment.

[lightandmagic]

Off the top of my head, so really not all that accurate. I also went more specific then the first two, and went for the specific moments. Also counted down, so they're in a general order.

Season 1:

5) The absolutely ridiculous concept of a demon inside a computer. So many people hate I Robot, You Jane, and understandably so, it really isn't a good episode. But I loved that even in the first season they were shooting for some ridiculous storylines but mixing in character development in them to make them, well, generally worthwhile.

4) Angel revealed to be a vampire. Pretty big turning point in the story.

3) Darla pulls out guns and goes to town. If this were reshot into a better action sequence, and had better sound effects (Oh my god, really sound effect person, that's the sound clip you chose for guns? WHY?) I think this would have been a much more memorable scene. I mostly like this because it's Darla being crazy and badass, just the way I like her!

2) "I'm sixteen Giles, I don't wanna die." Cue cross-throwing and storming out. This is the emotional level I like on my Buffy.

1) "What is your childhood trauma?!" This is the moment I knew I not only would enjoy the series, but that Cordelia was an awesomely hilarious character.

Season 2:

5) Drusilla kills Kendra. Just how simplistic and easy it was for her, it really showed how strong Dru really was.

4) The Rocket Launcher. Did not expect it.

3) Spike kills the Annoited One. God that kid was annoying. Thank you Spike.

2) The cruel setup of Jenny's dead body. If the death of her wasn't painful enough, here's another punch, right in the gut.

1) "Close your eyes." STAB!

Season Three:

5) "One of these days you'll wake up in a coma!", "We're here to save you?", "Did I get it?". I'm sorry, I like Gingerbread. Probably because it's the first episode I ever really saw, so it has a lot of nostalgia for me.

4) Buffy wins class protector. How cute.

3) "I'm evil. And Skanky. And I think I'm kinda gay." Maybe not that moment specifically, if I was to choose one from this amazing episode I would definitely pick when real Willow is pretending to be evil vamp Willow.

2) Buffy and Faith fight on a rooftop. Then Faith gets stabbed. "Damn, B."

1) "No, you don't get it. I don't care." Faith. Turns. Bad. There was always the inkling, but this is the moment when you know things will never be good between them again, and Faith's downfall is only a matter of time. One of the best moments in the entire series.

Season 4:

Honourable Mention (I really wanted to include it, but just couldn't find space): Buffy chugs milk. And breaks a bench. And measures toenails. Buffy's general crazy level in this episode is just awesome. Also, labelling Kathy on all of your roommates stuff while they're away makes an awesome prank.

5) The Gentlemen. Creeeeepy.

4) The gang falls apart. A whole season of tension building and then an explosive fight that has that excellent blend of drama and comedy that Buffy is so renowned for.

3) Faith beats the crap out of herself. Well technically Buffy, but we all got the metaphor.

2) Uber Buffy vs. Adam. I love Uber Buffy. All turning missiles into doves and crap. She's so badass here. And I love that you know that she's going to win, easily, so you can just sit back, relax and watch as she destroys Adam.

1) Restless. This whole episode is a moment. It is full of awesome and win.

Season Five:

5) Willow doesn't know the shirt to choose. It's so heartbreaking and sad, plus the first kiss of Willow and Tara!

4) Willow vs. Glory. I love this fight. Willow's the first person to actually hurt Glory. And it's barely anything. I love Glory.

3) Shut up Council plus the reveal of Glory. Buffy tells them to give her the answers, stop acting like jackasses, and to leave immediately after telling her what she needs to know. Then an awesome revelation, Glory is a god. Mind = Blown.

2) Anya's speech in the Body. One of the best monologues in television history. And delivered so well. I'm getting shivers thinking about it.

1) Buffy jumps in The Gift. Best moment of the season, best moment of the series.

Season 6:

5) Tabula Rasa, specifically the scream of everyone when the door is opened. Also, Anya keeps summoning bunnies.

4) "I'd like to test that theory." Yay Giles!

3) Anya's vows. Way to ruin that one, Xander.

2) "Bored Now."

1) Once More, With Feeling. Like Restless, I think this whole episode is a moment. Plus I can't really decide my favourite moment from the episode. But off the top of my head probably Tara and Giles' duet.

Season Seven:

Honourable Mention: Four way split screen while everyone tries to gain the love of RJ. Classic Buffy hilarity.

5) The First changes from villian to villian in Lessons. Loved this moment, seeing all of them again was just awesome, even if it was only for a brief moment.

4) Dawn desperately tries to talk to her mom in Conversations with Dead People. I know it didn't pan out, but I can't fault the original moment, and Dawn's power here is just exemplified so well, she will see her mother, even if it kills her.

3) Dawn's extraordinary, according to Xander in Potential. Don't really like Xander, but I thought Dawn was really growing into her own in this season and I'm glad someone recognized it.

2) Anya takes her wish back in Selfless. Selfless is my favourite episode. And this is probably my favourite moment from the episode. Willing to lose her own life to take back her actions.

1) First is beaten, Sunnydale collapses, Buffy smiles. Really good finale to an awesome series.

Like I said, all off the top of my head, so probably will change my mind eventually.

[Randi Giles]

Man the two above me have alot of great moments. I did mines off the top of my head too, but reading the both of yours made me realized I missed alot of moments. So many. So hard to choose.

[willowsummers]

I know I left things out. It was very difficult.

[El Diablo Robotico]

Off the top of my head, in no particular order and knowing that I left a few things out:

(Not all of these are technically 'moments', but what the hell...)

Season 1

1 - The end-credit sequence to "The Puppet Show", with Xander struggling to remember his lines, Buffy bored out of her mind, and Willow getting so scared she runs off the stage.

2 - The scene at Buffy's front door in "Never Kill a Boy on the First Date" when Owen shows up to pick her up. "You should probably know, Buffy doesn't like to be touched. In fact, don't even look at her." "Yes, but you'll face a pretty hefty fine in the morning."

3 - "Angel".

4 - Willow telling Cordy to press "Deliver".

5 - Loopy Buffy in "The Witch." "My buds are here! I love my buds! Yay!"


Season 2

1 - The addition of Spike & Dru, from their very first scene with the Annoying One and his gang in "School Hard", to their exit in "Becoming, Pt. 2", and everything in between.

2 - The other new characters: Oz, Ethan, Willy, Larry, Jonathan, Devon, Kendra, plus the carryover of Jenny and Snyder from S1.

3 - David Boreanaz getting the chance to show he has some real range, and could be more than just Handsome Brooding Guy.

4 - The gag in "Bewitched, Bothered, & Bewildered" of Xander blocking off the swinging library doors, and Buffy just pulling it open and walking in.

5 - SMG looking probably her hottest of any of the 7 seasons.


Season 3

1 - More new characters: Faith, Anya, Wes, the Mayor, & Mr. Trick.

2 - Aly in "Doppelgangland". Cute, funny, scary, and sexy in one 42-minute span.

3 - Snyder, Giles, and Joyce in "Band Candy". Especially when Snyder pops in and exclaims, "Fight!"

4 - Magic snow.

5 - The Buffy/Angel playground scene in "Gingerbread." "She said that it's fruitless. No fruit for Buffy. I'm like that boy in the story, the one that stuck his finger in the duck."


Season 4

1 - Tara.

2 - Buffy and Riley's first meeting. "It's nice to meet you." "I'm nice to meet."

3 - Faith in Buffy's body. "You can't do that! It's wrong!"

4 - Cave-slayer. "Buffy want beer."

5 - Too many great Spike moments to mention.


Season 5

1 - Dawn. She has a lot of good moments that season (esp. w/Spike), but one in particular stands out for me: in "Blood Ties", trapped all alone with Glory and scared as hell, but still managing to keep herself together and try to get all the info out of Glory about the Key that she can. That was just f'in brave, and perfectly captures why I like her so much: yeah, she's got some issues, but dig down past 'em a little ways and you realize that she's got a lot more in common with her sister than most people give her credit for. (Witness Spike's "bitty-Buffy" comment.)

2 - "Fool for Love". 'Nuff said.

3 - The Spike/Harmony scene in "Real Me". "I've been doing my homework, reading books and stuff." "What, 'Evil for Dummies'?"

4 - "I could take the boys back home, and we could all have sex together, and then, you know, just slap 'em back together in the morning."

5 - "She saved the world a lot."

(6 - Glory. Best Big Bad ever.)


Season 6

1 - "Once More with Feeling".

2 - "Tabula Rasa".

3 - The Trio, especially the whole James Bond argument.

4 - "Life Serial". The entire 'mummy hand' scene, and then drunk-Buffy: "Ble-yeh-eh..."

5 - Dawn totally geeking out when she finds out Willow and Tara are back together.

(6 - Buffy's short hair. Adorable. )


Season 7

1 - So many great Andrew moments. "I didn't like it there--everybody spoke Mexico-an." "He said he'll buy me a burro." "If you leave me here, I'll do something evil... like... burning stuff, or gluing things together." 'Can be steaked staked'. And pretty much all of "Storyteller".

2 - The whole final act of "Him". "Willow, RJ's a guy." "Well, I had noticed that, yeah, but that's why I'm doing my spell, because, y'know, he doesn't have to be." Spike jumping Buffy just as she's about to kill Wood with the rocket launcher. Anya robbing the bank. And, "What, am I going to compete with you? You're older and hotter and have sex that's rough and kill people!" (BTW: Older? Yes. Hotter? Nuh-uh. )

3 - "So is this, like, a real flower shop, or is this one of those things where I'm supposed to play along to show that I know that it's really secret ops? Oh, maybe I shouldn't have said that." (Also, in that same ep, the scene of everyone freaking out about Warren/Willow, and Spike wanders in and collapses and no one notices.)

4 - Chao-Ahn, and Giles' flashcards.

5 - Caleb, and the return of Faith.
