Best Buffy Episode EVER!

Why should OMWF not count? That's what Joss also said somewhere, that part of the point of the episode was that it was in fact just a normal episode, with things that happened that had consequences in later episodes etc.

Well if that one's out I'm gonna go for Selfless. Such great character portrayal.
 
To me, there is no Best episode ever. Theres maybe 10(or more) that are very worthy of the title, but its just impossible for me to choose a single episode.
But, if i had to pick, i'll say Innocence. This episode is what Btvs is all about.
 
The reason why OMWF doesn't count is because everyone would be pick it. So, basically I'm saying that we're choosing the second best Buffy ep. ever, because (for most people) OMWF is #1.
 
I know everyone's going to have the same opinion as me, but aside from OMWF, I definitely think that Hush, The Body, and Restless were the best episodes. If it had been a "Favorite Episode Ever" thread, I would have thrown in the Dark Willow episodes, but "best" means the most impressive episodes. And the cleverness and originality of those three put them above the rest.
 
I think the best is Prophecy Girl if you take into account the budget and time constraints, it's still an excellent episode (and for the record OMWF wouldn't be the best episode imo if it was included, top 10 for sure though)
 
I do love OMWF, but i would put it second to Fool for Love. I'm not sure if that is 'best' or 'favourite' though.....
 
OMWF, Hush and The body

oh wait.... lol.... erm tabula rasa, the pack, restless, dopplegangland, the wish, hells bells, GRAVE!!!!!!!!
 
As I said in the OMWF thread, I don't think that it should be called the "best" episode. It may be a lot of people's favourite (I know it's probably in my top 5), but the plot was sacrificed for time constraints and the songs. The Body, however, excels in writing, acting and direction. On top of that they took risky moves like having no music (and, y'know, killing Joyce) that really paid off.

I completely agree (minus the Dark Willow part because I just can't stand that), and I think on the next tier down is Normal Again. Just thought it should get a mention here.
 
Like everyone's saying we can't really choose "the best". There are "7" seasons = so many episodes.. How could we choose just one? It's difficult but.. if i can't choose OMWF then i'll have to say Tabula Rasa.. or Fool for Love.. arghh.. i can't decide!
 
This thread is really asking us to pick one episode that you can watch over and over again... which is pretty much all of them!

So, here's what I proverbially boiled it down to... All the episodes that evoked immense emotion are my favorites... whether it be that it made me cry, or made me laugh until I cried...

Just to name a few: Amends, Wild at Heart, Dopplegangland, The Body, OMWF, Tabula Rasa, etc.....
Too many to name...
The episodes that made me think, express emotion are the reasons I fell in love with the show to begin with!
 
Meh too many to choose from, I think my choice changes day to day. Today I like Conversations with Dead People.

lol, its been pointed out to me that i say nearly every episode is the BEST just before my sister starts to watch an episode
I can't BELIEVE noone's mentioned "Becoming" yet!? These two eps are IMO of the rare (and let's face it, it's rare even for outstanding Joss-made TV) "on a par with Shakespeare" category!

I liked that one last week hehe :p next week it'll be something else..
Ekk... i am afraid i am only on my second go around watching the entire series. But lately i been digging on the characters pain......lately Geil's and Zander's. being like outsiders to teh group in season four........and i am now.....*gulp and supressed cry in my throat* at the eppisode that ends with Buffy discovering her mother's body.

I dont even know all the titles or which episode cirten thigns happened yet. I am kinda a newbie fan. But OMWF i have seen like six times already...............and Zeppo as well as the one where Buffy says to Spike the He was beneath her and the one Where Giels gets drunk and feels like he is not respected. are my favorite tear jerkers. They are personal.

I dislike "Conversations with dead people" If that is the one where Dawn see's Joyce on the couch.

But i am sure that my all time faves will change as i get better aquainted with the story.
 
It's too hard to choose just one. It would be easier to choose my least favorite episodes. I really like Amends for some reason, and Graduation Day pt I and II.
