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

My freshman year of college, I lived in a building called Rawson Hall. You know those little white boards that are invariably next to college dorm room doors so people can write messages for the occupants? One day, one of my roommates erased the entire board and wrote "Tabula Rawson" in little letters on the top.

I think of that every time I hear that phrase.

Nobody mentioned "I was made to love you". I quite like that title in relation to the Warren/April-bot storyline.

"Life Serial" is funny too- it's cute ( life cereal!) & poignant (buffy trying to find a place in the real-world)--Also, although I'm NOT a big fan of the trio, I love this episode & think it's really underrated.

Also really like "Never kill a boy on the first date" (very memorable), New Moon Rising (very fitting for the episode), & "This Years Girl" (Love Faith!)

I don't understand the "This Year's Girl" title. Explain anyone?

I never quite got it either. I liked the alternate title Doug Petrie mentioned in the commentary, which was "Rise and Shine."

I understood it to refer to Faith being the underdog... She'd been in a coma since last season and when she came back The Mayor had left her the video, saying that she could get what she deserved. She then became Buffy. She then had the upperhand and was "This Year's Girl". This is particularly evident in the next episode when we see how Faith reacts to living Buffy's life.

Rawson? Haha. That's great.

Epic on their part.

[Tea - Total]

Bring on the night was an awsome title.

Nope, not an epic fail. Like I said, the hall we lived in was named Rawson -- he knew exactly what he was doing.

I like This Year's Girl too. It reminds me of This Year's Love. Awesome song.

That's what I always took from the title. That it was Faiths turn to shine.

[crucio]

Fool for Love was originally going to be titled Loves Bitch , but they changed it. Think it would have been more apt.

[Just Willow]

Tabula Rasa and Conversations With Dead People, in my opinion.

i like that title alot better too. i mean "Rise and Shine" just sounds alot better towards the concept of the episode.

Plus, it sounds just like something the Mayor would say.

Check point was cool as a title.

[buffyfan21]

Weight of the World is a good one, and Normal Again. Buffy titles do a great job of encompassing the meaning behind the episodes. The Yoko Factor is probably my personal favorite. I like Spiral and Into the Woods, as well.

[Darth Rosie]

The Yoko Factor is awsome.

I particularly like "Lovers Walk". And walk they do.

[willow333]

The Yoko Factor is one of my favorite titles. As well as Dopplegangland.

[buffyfan21]

Oh yeah. Lovers Walk and Dopplegangland are great.

[Xander-Shaped Friend]

I always liked After Life as a title only because of what it means in the series.
