Rewatch Episodes

[fauxindigo]

Isn't it crazy how we can have seen every episode multiple times over the years but still love to rewatch it (especially certain episodes) depending on the time and our mood. What was the last one to five episodes you rewatched and why? For me it was...

Two to Go - Villains has always been my favorite episode of the Dark Willow arc however I was in the mood for full force Dark Willow but didn't feel like seeing Warren or the immediate fallout of Taras death so Two to Go it was. And it's always better than I remember or it's credited for because it's like the bridge episode in the 3 part finale so it comes in hot and leaves off on an awesome cliffhanger with Giles... And I love Dark Willows conversation with Dawn & Buffy (at Racks) even though it's bleak, it's so juicy. Naturally, it led into ...
Grave - Willow breaking down crying always gets me when I'm in the emo feels. Wasn't so much in cry-mode but played it through to...
Lessons (beginning) - love the teaser to this premiere and when Giles asks "Do you want to be punished?".. Willow says 'I wanna be Willow.' I love this premiere (all the premieres and finales are great if you think about it)... but I was in the mood for...
Revelations even though it's sad to see, I love seeing Faith before she went dark and losing more faith (no pun intended) in humanity by having Gwen Post betray them all. I was in the mood to see the annoying b!tch Gwendolyn get immolated after insulting Giles and psychologically manipulating and abusing Faith but mostly in the mood for Buffy's secret "affair" with Angel being exposed; I love when the Scoobies confront Buffy... I feel bad that Giles was so hurt that Buffy didn't tell him but Xander has some nerve acting so mad about not knowing Angel was back while he is actively cheating on Cordelia with Willow. This led me to ....
Lovers Walk so I could see Xander and Willow get caught (& Xander get humbled). And Spike of course.

Seasons 3, 4 & 6 are the most re-watchable to me, what about you?

A coupe of weeks or so ago I saw 3 eps in a row of season 4. I started with This Year's Girl as I couldn't recall how Faith got her magic item and it was bugging me. I went ahead and watched part 2 (Who Are You) and kept watching through the next ep Superstar, which was more fun than I remembered (I'm usually tempted to skip that episode).

As of today I saw Homecoming since I couldn't recall what part Giles played, though I was sure he was in it (he was knocked out for most of it again, I should've realized that when I couldn't recall what he did). Next ep is Band Candy, which I plan to watch later, probably tonight. I'll probably stop there (and I'm in the mood to find a movie to watch).



I primarily rewatch the first 4 seasons. I'd probably only see season 5 again if I planned to watch all of it. I'm generally not a fan of seasons 6 and 7, though both start off good. And after watching the later seasons I like to go back to season 1 or 2 as it's kind of a shock to see the difference.

This Years Girl/Who Are work best when you rewatch 5by5 and Sanctuary as well

This Years Girl/Who Are work best when you rewatch 5by5 and Sanctuary as well

The Faith Files (my favorite along with Spike & Willow's major arc episodes)
Faith Hope & Trick
Revelations
Bad Girls
Consequences
Enemies
Choices
Graduation Day 1/2
This Years Girl
Who Are You?
Five by Five
Sanctuary
Salvage
Release
Orpheus
Dirty Girls
Empty Places
Chosen

could always throw Touched, End of Days, Beauty & the Beasts, Homecoming and The Zeppo in there too for more Faith before she went dark. My ultimate staples though would have to be Bad Girls, Consequences, This Years Girl, Who Are you?, Five x Five & Sanctuary... Enemies just edged out.

Fool For Love and Darla go well together.

I also think Damage is a better wrap up than Chosen for the Buffy show
