Rank the Season 5 Episodes

Yeah, that's the point: the tedium. The almost surreal emotional state of the first hours. When Buffy opens the door you can see the world running as usual.

Quite honestly I'm stunned, no, I'm MORTIFIED, that "The Body" isn't Number 1 on everyone's list. It is without a doubt a Top 5 episode (along with OMWF and Hush) and arguably the best episode of BtVS. It could be argued that it's the best episode of TV ever. People, it's that good! Do I want to watch it today? No... I'd rather watch Buffy v. Dracula because I'm in that kind of mood.

Number 2 should be "The Gift," however I don't feel as strongly about that as I do "The Body." The Body is perfect and deserves to be Number One.
