Once More With Feeling

Never kill a boy... love that one too. I'm pretty keen on episodes titles that play on words, or use whole phrases than the one word episodes.

I've got to agree that Once More, With Feeling is pretty great. So, is Never Kill A Boy on The First Date. I also like I Robot, You Jane.

The Wish and Dopplegangland

[willowsummers]

Beauty And The Beasts
Gingerbread, though I hate that episode
Goodbye Iowa
This Year's Girl
The Body
Villians
Sleeper
Lies My Parents Told Me

These are my favorite not because of the episodes themselves but because what the title means in relation to the episode. These titles add extra meaning or extra punch to the episode, so I consider them my favorite.

I actually probably think Goodbye Iowa is the best title because it describes what I think that whole season is about- losing your innocence. Riley lost it big time and Iowa represents his innocence.

Bewitched , Bothered and Bewildered.

This is my fave title. As with the last comment , these are the three stages that Sunnydale, after Amy`s spell , goes through in the episode!!

[thisyearsgirl91]

I second many that have been mentioned. I love 'I Only Have Eyes For You'.

[The Girl In Question]

^^Agreed. It's funny I never really thought any of this before. As for titles I really like that aren't mentioned:

Killed By Death
Faith, Hope, and Trick (dunno why)
Something Blue
The Weight of the World
Life Serial
Empty Places
Grave

[Cloudforhire]

[TheDancingSlayer]

Lies My Parents Told Me
Lover's Walk
Out of Mind, Out of Sight

Edit: Welcome to the Hellmouth - I always say that as I walk through the school gates on the first day of school

I like the ones that can be taken in more than one way.

"The Yoko Factor," for instance, is technically about Spike taking advantage of beneath-the-surface conflicts to split the Scoobies apart, much like the Beatles' existing conflicts would have split the group up whether Yoko had been around or not. But it's also a callback to a theme that was touched on earlier in the season: Forrest clearly felt that Buffy was playing Yoko to Riley's John, pulling him away from the Initiative.

"Graduation Day" represents both graduation from high school and, in a link that Buffy herself makes explicitly clear, Buffy stepping out from under the shadow of the Watchers' Council.

"Amends" highlights Angel's quest for redemption for the things he did as a vampire, but is also about Willow trying to make amends for cheating on Oz with Xander.

"Once More With Feeling" comes from a phrase commonly associated with musical theater, but is also the instruction one can imagine some cosmic director giving to Buffy as she "sleepwalk through [her] life's endeavor."

"Seeing Red" has one clear primary meaning, but there are other ways it can be taken as well. The primary meaning is clearly Willow's blinding rage after Tara is shot, but you could also connect it to: (1) Tara's last words, sparked by seeing her own blood on Willow's shirt and trying to understand what just happened, or (2) Tara at the beginning of the episode, once again dating (seeing) Willow, who is occasionally referred to (albeit only by Faith and Spike) as "Red."

My favorite titles are:

-Weight of the World
-Lover's Walk
-What's My Line
-Conversations With Dead People
-Fool For Love

[CourtneyDax]

There's a lot of great ones. I have a fondness to "Something Blue" though. It's just a cutesy title I like the most.

[Faith5byFive]

These are all brilliant

Another one i love is Whats my Line?
Lovers Walk
End Of Days
Prophercy Girl

[cutiepatootie]

Bring on the Night and Get it done.

[Tea - Total]

Chosen, The Gift. These title connect to the theme of the episode.

[SpikeObsessed]

I definatly loved the episode title Tabula Rasa (meaning "blank slate" in Latin). I had learned that a few weeks before and thought it was awesome when I got to that episode. xD

[Xander-Shaped Friend]

I have a few, but I'll just mention the one I'm thinking of that isn't mentioned. Selfless. I love it because of Anya being selfless enough to sacrifice herself to make up her wrongs, but that she doesn't know who she really is and doesn't really have a sense of self.
