That's way too hard. Here's a thread where we were discussing our Top Ten:
Top 10 - Buffy-Boards
Here's my list:
1. Passion
You can't beat the awesome, melodramatic overture and I just love Angelus, I can't help it - He is such a great villain "“ so scary! And this episode is just so tragic.
Best Quote: " Are you insane? We're sopposed to kill the bitch. Not leave gag gifts in the friends beds." "“ Spike
Second best Quote: It hurts sometimes more than we can bear. If we could live without passion, maybe we'd know some kind of peace. But we would be hollow: empty rooms, shuttered and dank. Without passion"¦we'd be truly dead. - Angelus
Third best quote:"You can't leave me. I can't do this alone" - Buffy
2. Tabula Rasa
No comment. This just a fab episode. So funny! I love identity crises.
Best Quote: "Ready Randy?" - Joan/Buffy
3. Band Candy
Now this is one of the those episodes you shouldn't watch while eating. Because it has so many laugh out loud moments. And believe me, I didn't know who Juice Newton was then, either. Then I looked it up.
4. Real Me
Unicorns. Harmony "“ need I say more? I don't know about you all, but I just love her.
5. Fool For Love
Both this and the one below are very important in setting up the Buffy/Spike dynamic that becomes so central in the last two seasons. This is the episode I always show to newbies
Best Quote: "Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you". "“ Spike.
6. Crush
Every scene is good. Brilliant
7. The Gift
I always cry at the end of this one. For all you people who still believe Spike didn't love Buffy; why then, was he weeping bitterly when she died, huh? And man, that look he gives Dawn right before he's thrown off the tower"¦heartbreaking, really.
Best Quote: "The hardest thing in this world is to live in it".- Buffy A motto for the whole show
8. Once More With Feeling
No comment here. Brilliant. Sure, none of them are fantastic singers, (except maybe Tara), super-entertaining non the less.
Best Quote: "Life isn't bliss, life is just this, it's living." -Spike
9. The Wish
Now, we are really in bizarro-world. And there's no invisible Buffy "“ only lots, and lots of vampires. A world without Buffy? Gasp! Dark. Super-dark. As in, I can't even see around me dark.
10. Restless
Obscure, super-duper metaphorical genius. This episode not only exposes the worst fears of our charming Scooby Gang, but it nicely foreshadows events to come later on in the series.
Best Quote: "I walk. I talk. I shop. I sneeze. I'm gonna be a fireman when the floods roll back. There's trees in the desert since you moved out, and I don't sleep on a bed of bones." -Buffy
