Season 3 Poll

[Bluebird]

Barring a few duds like Anne and Beauty and the Beasts I would say that all of the episodes in season 3 are fantastic. Season 3 is my favourite season altogether and I wouldn't be able to choose between these episodes. There's just so much great character developement going on in this year in a wee subtle way - special mention going to The Zeppo and Doppelgangland.

And it has the introduction of Faith, the Mayor, Angel coming back, Anya's arrival, Wesley's arrival - aaghh! I can't choose individual episodes, it's too good:lmao:

The Wish and Doppelgangland cause we get to see evil Willow.

Lovers Walk-good fun and I love Spike.Loved the scene with him,Joyce and Angel.

Anne-cause we get to see Sunnydale without no slayer and Buffy's short-lived life in LA.

Amends-all about Angel facing up to the truth and loved the bit where he and Buffy stop arguing when they start to realise its snowing and then they walk through town together-so sweet.Also liked seeing everyone else wake up to the snow.:santa2:

Band Candy:very funny and cool especially all the scenes with Giles and Joyce.Loved the funny part where Giles jumps up and shouts yes when Buffy punches Ethan.

 

[Ripper 08]

faith hope and trick as we get too see faith for the 1st time and she was an awesome character

band candy i mean come on we see the reall ripper how awesome was that! (one of the best episodes ever i think)

the wish was truely amazing

dopplegang land was awesome to have the return of vamp willow!

bad girls as we see buffy get sweeped up in the want have take lifestyle faith lives

and i loved the s3 finale of graduation day yeah way to destroy that high school lol

 

[spikelover]

My favourite episode from this season is Lover's Walk, actually it's my best of the whole series, mainly for the ten or fifteen seconds right at the end of the episode, Spike singing along to the Sid Vicious version of My Way.

omg!! i soo have to agree with u!!!!!!!

 

[caritas08]

I honestly can't choose. I love every single episode from this season. Gingerbread is my least favorite though.

 

[Relic]

I'm only 3 episodes in and to mirror what every one else has said.....this season is way too good to pick just one.

I think thus far while it is all still fresh in my mind, I like 'Dead Man's Party' the best.

I despise zombies, they give me the grade a creeps. Vamps, werewolves, etc. etc....no big deal. Much like Buffy and latter seasons with a certain loved one almost comes a calling... well when the face of evil comes back wearing a loved ones disguise and smelling of rotten flesh...plus they want to eat me? Yikes! As Spike might say, that puts my wrinklies in full retreat mode.

This episode had zombies, thus it sort of creeped me out. Then there is the scene where Buffy stakes one and it doesn't work. That made me laugh.

Speaking of laughter...few things remembered about any of the episodes made me laugh as hard as Giles self narative as he speeds to Buffy and Joyces house....
"Unbeliavable, Do you like my mask? Isn't it pretty? It raises the dead....Americans."
I spit out my drink!

This episode was a nice connect the circumstances for season 2's clincher when Buffy left. I was glad to see Buff's friends being mad about her 'bailing' plus it was nice to see their character growth. That was a true credit to the writers.

I'm not going to lie, I love Buffy, but this episode highlighted all the other cast i have come to love.

That scene where Buffy and co. go back and meet with Giles for the first time since she skipped town was very heart warming and that bit when Giles makes an excused exit to go get tea and just makes that face and shakes his head thankfull his 'daughter' returned to him...that is a tear jerker for those that can emote to that feeling of relief.

All I can say is excellent acting Anthony, I really felt it.

Also you have Snyder getting schooled by a "Ripperesque" Giles and a Willow coming into her own. (I loved her dynamic with Buffy)

Overall a very cool episode, but I'll reserve my vote till they all get equal time; I just kind of feel this ones abit of an unappreciated masterpiece. They could have been leprachauns and not zombies and I still would have dug it.

I'm also thinking about adding "NightHawk version 2.0" to my title in honor of my friend, Xander. 🙂

 

[caritas08]

Okay I narrowed it down (for me)
1. Beauty and the Beast -- should have explored Oz's storyline more but the end with Buffy and Angel gets to me (Sarah and David nail that scene).
2. Lover's Walk--Spike missage is the only problem I have with Season 3 and this episode is hilarious and focuses on every character (Cordelia's heartbreak really gets to me).
3. Amends--I'm more of a Spike fan but Buffy and Angel's ending scene makes me cry everytime.
4. The Zeppo--finally a Xander centric episode.
5. Bad Girls--One of the biggest shocker endings for me (I know I'm slow)
6. Dopplegangland--Vamp Willow
7.Earshot--Buffy and Jonathan's conversation is one of the highlights of the series for me.
8. The Prom--I love Buffy finally getting a great highschool moment even though she had her heart broken.
9. Graduation Day I and II--A very fitting end to an era.

Season 3 has a few of my all time favorite episodes...
Band Candy, The Wish, Doppelganland

 

[ItMustBeBunnies]

I love season 3, for some reason Band Candy is the episode that is the most vivid in my memory from when I was a kid. My only beef with season three is The Prom. I do like this episode, and I enjoy it in that girly Pretty In Pink way, but Im sorry I never brought into that whole class protector award thing, way too cheesy for my tastes!

 

[Lou]

I had to go with Dead Man's Party, Band Candy, Lover's Walk, Dopplegangland and Homecoming.
Oddly, not really Faithy episodes huh? I didn't really like her until the end. It wasn't ever Faith I didn't like though....it was more Buffy and Faith together. Both are much more fun on their own...and less complainy.

 

[MSchett]

I picked Doppelgangland and The Wish because Vamp Willow is amazing

and i picked Earshot because I couldnt stop laughing when Buffy says " You had sex with Giles!" On top of a police car?!" "Twice!!!"

 

[DarkAvenger]

what the.. ? i didnt choose Dopplegangland!! How is that possible? i love that episode! :S .... weird :rolleyes0

 

[Perny]

Lover's walk. Spike being drunk, pathetic, and heartbroken was just a treat. A happy cameo from Spike...or not so happy.

You know what I mean 🙂

 

[Skanky Vamp]

I am surprised The Zeppo did not get more votes.

 

[T.I.P]

Im suprised the Zeppo didnt get more too, but im really suprised Revelations and Helpless are near the bottom

 

[Skanky Vamp]

Helpless

Helpless just seemed so cliche to me. It was a show of the caliber you could expect to find on another series, just not Buffy.

 

[NCFan]

I voted for Band Candy. I just love how the adults all acted like kids basically. Enjoyed Joyce and Rupert getting together. Loved how in a later episode (Earshot) when Buffy learns what they did.

 

[Airam]

I voted for several but at the very top of my list have to be The Wish and Dopplegangland. The Wish for its poignant awesomeness and Dopplegangland for its extreme hilarity. There are so many great moments in that ep, particularly:

Anya: I swear, I am just trying to find my
necklace.
Willow: Well, did you try looking inside the sofa in
Hell?

and:

Buffy: Willow, you're alive?!
Willow: (puzzled) Aren't I usually?
Buffy runs and hugs her and Xander immediately follows
Willow: (wonderingly) I love you guys, too?
Still hugging...
Willow: Okay. Oxygen becoming an issue.
They both let go, smiling at her with tears in their eyes. She smiles back, but still doesn't know what to make of it all.
Willow: Giles, what's going on with these...
Before she can finish she finds herself being attacked with a hug from Giles
Willow: Oh!
Giles: Oh. Sorry. (backs away)
Willow: (still wondering) It's really nice that you guys missed me. (wide-eyed) Say, you all didn't happen to do a bunch of drugs, did ya?
Xander: Will, we saw you at the Bronze. A vampire.
Willow: (startled, then insulted) I'm not a *vampire*.

LMFAO, I swear everytime I watch this episode I rewind and watch this scene at least 5 times.

 

[jerrytheham]

I voted for (takes deep breath):
'Band Candy', 'Lover's Walk', 'The Wish', 'Amends', 'The Zeppo', 'Doppelgangland', 'Earshot', and 'Graduation Day Part 1 and 2'. And, phew.
It's my favourite season, mainly for Faith and the Mayor, who are just plain awesome. Favourite episode? If I had to choose... erm... 'The Wish'.
