Passion
The Body
The Zeppo
Once More With Feeling
Earshot
Fool For Love

[Arturo]

Probably Hush.

I used to love the halloween episodes too, especially the one where they all get turned into the characters they're dressed as

[feral]

We already did this in the other thread.

(Also, Revelations is mediocre and your list doesn't include Restless. wtf)

[crooked]

Hush is the most well done all around but the Zeppo always holds this special place in my heart

[deadwolfbones]

I have an inexplicable soft spot for the one where Buffy works in a fast food joint.

[parapet]

Restless.

[parapet]

band candy also

[gashed]

Earshot? That's middle of the pack at best.

[Nova]

Once More, with Feeling due to Anya and Xander.

[Nova]

Okay, mainly because of Anya.

[leftproofbox]

I liked Pangs. Pangs was good

pretty sure that list is 3% of total mincer posts

Yeah, she pretty much makes the second half of the show's run

[Shoe]

i really like the Graduation two-parter. pretty much all of season three is great.

I confused the two. Restless is my absolute favorite. So, I edited it. Sorry.

[Mincer Ray]

Restless.

This is the right answer for the best

Band Candy is great too. Lots of S3 episodes just missed my list: Band Candy, The Wish, Dopplegandland

I do love Buffy

[Motron]

If you had to pick one its obviously "Once More With Feeling." I have a soft spot for "Bewitched, Bothered, and Bewildered" and "Intervention."

I liked this a lot. "Bewitched, Bothered, and Bewildered." It's like a better version of the saved by the bell where all the girls ask Zach to the dance.

I love "Surprise," though, because, you know

[nefarious]

episodes without angel and giles have to resort to gimmicky shit in order to be good.

[cooly]

restless isn't that good

[belgavin]

I know it's cheesy and not very good but at the time The Gift was pretty epic

I know you were half kidding, but Giles is in almost every episode. Also, when Angel is not Angelus in BtVS, he is pretty terrible.

And Giles-centric episodes are hit or miss--The Dark Age and A New Man, probably the only two that are exclusively focused on Giles, are terrible.

[Slut Banger]

The very last episode. Epic

'Schools out for summer'

[hiddenicon]

I have an inexplicable soft spot for the one where Buffy works in a fast food joint.

same.

its not the best, but its always listed with the worst (like Beer Bad, which i also find funny) and I never understand why.

[parapet]

for a good one-off episode i didn't properly appreciate the first time around "I Only Have Eyes For You."
Sadie Hawkins dance with John Hawkes where they all take up the roles of the star crossed lovers and it plays Angelus and Buffy against each other
pretty great

edit: oh yeah with the sadie hawkins dance theme buffy and angel are in opposite gender roles if i remember correctly

[fuckles]

really

This is a great one. In fact, from Surprise/Innocence, S2 is nearly perfect.
