Name your top favs, and your least favs if you want.

My tops:
-Fool For Love (1 of the best Spike episodes in the entire Buffyverse, esp paired with Angel's "Darla"; I liked it much better than Crush)
-The Body (I know I sound like everybody else when I say that this is one of the best episodes of TV period)
-The Gift (like I said in the other thread, visually stunning, emotionally moving, with some shocking & touching surprises)
 
My Top 3 Favorites

1. Buffy vs. Dracula
2. Family
3. The Body

3 Least Favorite

1. Listening to Fear
2. Into The Woods
3. The Weight of the World
 
I'm doing a Season 5 re-watch. My favorite episodes are...

-Fool For Love (I love Spike. And we meet William. I ADORE William.)
-Listening to Fear (I love the queller demons and all the crazy people and talk... it's just so... good. Also the scene where Buffy breaks down crying cleaning the dishes... total win)
-Crush (SPIKEY! This episode breaks my heart, but I love it. I just wanna go give poor little Spikey a hug)
-The Body (I agree, one of the best episodes of television ever. I didn't like Joyce and this episode isn't the best to me because she dies... I just think it's done so well. And Sarah does an EXCELLENT job in this episode. Blows me away every time)
-Intervention (Spike shows his loyalty. And it's got some funny Spuffybot love.)
-The Gift (the sacrifice. Need I say more?)
 
My favorites episodes are:

1.The Gift
2.Fool For Love
3.The Body
4.Forever

Least favorites:

1.Real Me
2.The Replacement
3.Triangle
4.Buffy VS. Dracula
 
Best episodes:

The Body - Undoubtedly one of the most superb pieces of writing I have ever witnessed.
The Gift - The perfect end to the series - it was heart-wrenching, heart-warming, funny, tear-jerking, epic, beautiful... a perfect episode.
Fool for Love - Another wonderful episode that really added something to Spike's character and contained some wonderful interaction. The study of the nature of the slayer was fascinating, especially in light of the finale.

Other great episodes:

Family - The scene where the gang all stand up for Tara (except Spike) was a beautiful moment. Tara's family were a little two-dimensional, but I did like the insight into her history.
The Replacement - A great Xander-centric episode, not as good as The Zeppo but a wonderful episode nonetheless.
Blood Ties - "Is this blood? Is this real?" - A very haunting scene in a splendid episode.
Intervention - Very funny, but also very touching in places.

Poor(est) episodes:

Listening to Fear - "Why are we researching a killer snot demon?" "Because it's a killer snot demon from outer space! ...I did not say that." Funny line, but it does sum up how silly this episode is.
Out of My Mind - The Spike/Harmony bits were fun, but the Riley storyline was infuriating, the idiot almost killing himself over a macho pissing contest... I wished they'd just let him die, the moron.
Weight of the World - Fiiiiiiillllllllllleeeeerrrrr

But actually, there aren't really many awful episodes in S5 - No episodes really stand out as being terrible, there's just a few sub-par ones.
 
Blood Ties, The Body, The Gift.

There are a whole bunch of good episodes, like Fool For Love (I only consider it a "good" episode because I like Darla better), but these are the best.

Other than The Body and The Gift, my favorites are Checkpoint, No Place Like Home, and Spiral.

No I like it too, Joyce's random ranting is so funny!

I didn't like this episode in the past, but on my recent rewatch I did.

It strikes a pretty painful chord with me, so I tend to skip it. (My grandmother has dementia and is prone to those kinds of outbursts...)

Favorite Episode:
Buffy vs. Dracula

It was soooo freakin' awesome to see Dracula come to Sunnydale. And I LOVED him xD

Least Favorite:
Crush

I love whole season 5. And I absolutely had to chose one episode I likes least, so I said "Crush" for one reason - Buffy was so mean to Spike. The poor lad kept telling her that he was in love with her, and she goes "no way!".
 
Family, The Gift, and Forever are my favorites.

I don't like Listening to Fear, The Body (only because it's painful. I think it's a complete masterpiece.) or Into the Woods. I always yell, "WAIT! SHE'S RIGHT BEHIND YOU!" at my TV.
