"The Body" - I thought this episode was truly brilliant. He didn't make Joyce's death cheesy with music or lines. . . he made it really good, and he gave you good closure for the whole thing.

"Forever" - I loved the whole, sad mood of this episode, and I loved Angel coming back -- it was just so darn sweet.

"The Gift" - I thought this episode was perfect. Her speeches, her last words, and her death. It was just a great episode.
 
This was by far the sadest season. Haveing bouth The Body and The Gift in it.
Buffy vs. Dracula- Why to cool. And at the end your like what the hell Buffy does not have a sister.
The Replacement- Xanderness (is that a word). But I hope you get waht I mean. A whole episode for Xander being goffey and smart. And the Snoopy Dance. I love the http://www.darkharbor.com/snoopydance/

Fool For Love - When Buffy wants to learn more about Slayers of the past and their final battles she heads to the expert. William the Bloody (a.k.a. Spike) has "offed" two Slayers over the years and Buffy wants to know how. Do we really expect Spike to dish the real dirt? Given his latest fantasies and dreams, not to mention the fact that he likes to brag a bit, of course, he does. Spike's flashbacks reveal the goods. We witness his first meeting with his true love Drusilla and how Angel and Darla ended up joining them to become the gruesome foursome. We see how he killed the two Slayers--who he declares had simply lost the will to live, which is why he was able to overcome them. We also get a look into the man Spike was before he became the vamp he is today. Oh and the Whole dance thing was great.

Blood Ties So sad but so good. Dawn lurens shes the key. While she is in the Magic Box That she brok into to steel things with Spike. That episode was funney and way sad at the same time.

The Body - Just Cuz it was one of the best. Anya's spech was the best....

Spiral, The Weight of the World, and The Gift - They were just to good. One of the best if not the best season ending.. and I loved the Buffy things. Anya taking care of Tara so Willow could Help Buffy. Buffy not wanting to live. But Willow Helping her. The fights. Everyone helping everyone else. The whole trying to get away form the dudes in Spiral was great. The figt aingst Groly. And Buffy's speach, Her death, and how everyone left feels...
 
Real Me This isn't one of my favourites, but it's worth mentioning. I like the way Dawn is introdused, the way we see everyone from her view. I usually don't really like Dawn, but still, it's an important episode..
No Place Like Home I like it when Buffy fights Glory, that she doesn't have a chance to beat her.. Not sure why I like that though.. Maybe because, well, Buffy's almost always the strongest.. I like that Glory is so powerful and strong.. And I like that Buffy finds out about Dawn being the Key..
Family An episode about Tara.. We finally get to know some things about her family and her past.. I think it's a great episode, Tara finally becomes a part of the gang..
Triangle Just wanted to mention this episode cause I love when Willow and Anya has a lot of scenes together. It doesn't matter if they fight or talk, they're so funny together..
The Body Well, it's one of my two favourite episodes, don't think I have to explain why.. It's just a perfect episode, I love it.
The Gift I didn't remember this as a wonderful episode, but I re-watched it some days ago, and realized it's good.. It's sad of course, and well.. It's a great season finale..

(I could write stuff about each episode but I won't do that.. This is just parts of why I like some things in some episodes..)
 
1.Buffy vs. Dracula - Dracula - WAYYY to freaking cool! It's perfect to bring the quintessential vampire (and most famous) into a show about a vampire slayer.

6.Family - Tara finally feels accepted.

7.Fool For Love - Spike!

10.Into The Woods - I actually felt bad for Riley here.

16.The Body - Sadddd and shocking eppy. We lose a character. This eppy changed the course of the Buffyverse and affected each and every character. Anya was great.

22.The Gift - FANTASTIC eppy. Had me bawling.
 
Buffy vs. Dracula - Sexy Dracula... Cant get better... Really hilarious and good episode

Family - Tara episode where her family comes to visit, cant get any better either. Answered a lot of my questions about Tara 😀
Triangle - Willow and Anya starts fighting because they think the other one is going to hurt Xander... Cant be terrible

Checkpoint - Evil Watcher's Counsil comes along 😉
Blood Ties - Just lovely when Dawn has cut herself and asks if it's really blood and stuff

I was Made to Love You One of my total favourite episdoes. Buffy realizes she doesnt really need a boyfriend and that was just a powerful episode for me... And I just adore AprilBot

The Body - *cries*
Forever - Angel comes for a short visit 😉
Tough Love - Well... Do I need to say something? 😛


I was probably the only one who hated The Gift... 😛
 
Buffy vs. Dracula - because i love dracula and all that stuff and i loved his accent! 😀 and Xander was really funny in that episode!

The Replacement - it's just a hilarious episode and Xander was so funny! "Kill us both Spock!" lol!!

Family - it was an amazing one and i love Tara! and it was great when Spike punches Tarah! I laughed hysterically!

Into the Woods - great eppie.i cried at the end. the last (sorta) time we see Riley 🙁 and Xander's speach at the end made me fall in love with it!

Fool for Love - my second favorite episode ever! Spike was so amazing! GO PUNK SPIKE!!!

Checkpoint - it was really neat to see the watchers council in the picture and also we find out what Glory is! 😀

The Weight of the World - wonderful one! i loved the whole lots of Buffy's thing! it was so cool!

The Gift - SO AMAZING!!!! I loved this episode! one of my favorites deffinatly! i cried hysterically when Buffy jumped!!! actually....before that because i knew she was gonna jump....but i was bawling!!!


i'm probably the only one who really didn't like The Body....personally, i thought it was kinda boring.....
 
The Gift-it was touching i cried when i saw buffy jump in the portal for dawn it was sweet

The Body- joyce's death gone but never forgotten

Forever- angel came back yay! :jumping40
 
Favs/ and not so Favs. Others I could take em or leave em

1.Buffy vs. Dracula: I agree that bringing Dracula into the slayer show is nice


3.The Replacement: I love the snoopy dance

6.Family: Tara is finally part of the Scooby Gang. Brings tears to your eyes.

7.Fool For Love : I love this backstory on Spike. Also, the chemistry between Buffy and Spike is great.

12.Checkpoint: This episode has always been great to me. I like when they test Buffy, and then she wants NO INTERRUPTIONS.

16.The Body: Yeah...

17.Forever: This episode bothers me. I don't like to hear constant 'smacking' while we are still dealing with Joyce being gone.

18.Intervention: Buffy-Bot. enough said.

22.The Gift: Good ending for the 100th eppie. We knew she'd be back.
 
1) Buffy Vs. Dracula will forever be loved by me simply because I expected it to be quite bad, and it ended up being the exact opposite!

3) The Replacement: Two Xanders are better than one!

12) Checkpoint: Buffy's speech at the end is just great!

16) The Body-makes me cry like a baby every single time I see it!

17) Forever-I love the entire episode! Buffy and Angel's moments were great, although I wish he'd stayed longer, and I always loved the dynamic between Dawn and Spike, so it was nice to see them working together.

22) The Gift-PURE MAGIC....This too, makes me cry like a baby every time I see it. And for all my lack of Spuffiness, when Spike falls to his knees upon seeing Buffy dead, it makes my tears that much worse!
 
1.Buffy vs. Dracula - I liked this episode, but only because I love when Tara does the subtle "jelousy" thing...

2.Real Me - I liked this episode too... I almost died when Dawn made the "witchcraft" comment 😛 Plus, Tara's hot 🙂

3.The Replacement - At first I didn't like this episode, but when I found out it was actually Kelly acting as the "twin" and not Nicholas doing both parts, I thought it was pretty cool.

5. No Place Like Home - First meet Glory... I love it... Shes by far my favorite "bad guy"... And shes so fashionable... 🙂

6.Family - OMG I loved this episode... It was so sweet, and it made me cry... Still makes me all teary 😛

7.Fool For Love - I really liked this one too... All about Spike... And I loved the "gang" hunting... Willow is so adorable... "I think you're cool."

10.Into The Woods - Riley, good-riddance!

11.Triangle - Definately top 5 episode... I love Willow in this one... Awww adorable... "A-and, but don't try it for real when you're six, because then you're not allowed to have fish for five years."... And the whole quirky thing... Awww again...

12.Checkpoint - Top 10... I laughed the entire time throught it... Buffy seeing the council when she walks into the Magic Box and turns to walk back out... And Anya's outburst of "Willow's a demon?"... LOL classic!

13.Blood Ties - Pretty emotional... But I thought Michelle was amazing in it, with the cutting and stuff... whoa!

14.Crush - The only thing I liked in this ep was Drucilla... She cracked me up 😛

15.I Was Made To Love You - One of my favs, because Tara is in it so much 😛 and the "jealousy" thing over Willow and her comment about April... I died at the looks she was giving Willow, and how she kept digging the hole deeper 🙂

16.The Body - Again, top 5... So emotional... 🙁 But, Willow/Tara kissage YAY...

18.Intervention - Buffy-Bot!!!! YEA! Seriously, she rocks my socks!

19.Tough Love - Made me so sad... Poor Tara... And Willow... I love to hate that episode...

20, 21 & 22.Spiral, The Weight of the World & The Gift - To me, it seemed like a three-part finale. They were done so incredibly, that it was like, a cliffhanger until the next, they were so tied in together... I love all three... AMAZING ending, and in my opinion, the best of the entire Buffy series 😛


Just to add, Season 5 is my favorite season, because there are so many amazing episodes in it (as you can see 😛)... If I would have known how Seasons 6 & 7 would have been, I would have been happier seeing Season 5 as the end...
 
Buffy vs. Dracula- This one was just priceless, I loved how they brought THE dracula onto the show and had fun with it. Funny, serious, oh so buffy-ish, and an encounter I (somehow!) didn't see coming.

Family- I really adore this show, it's one of the few that's all about Tara and how the whole gang sticks up for her in the end, one of those episodes that just made me go "awwwwwe"!

Fool For Love- I liked how they explored so much of Spike's past in this one, and it was really interesting to see how much his character quickly changed over time, and just the dynamics of his story. It was really excellent and blew me away, I felt so sorry for him by the end, for the first time I just wanted to smack Buffy!

Triangle- This one was just funny, the whole troll thing and Anya and Willow shoved into the situation was hilarious!

Checkpoint- Again, hilarious episode, but also what I find is one of the best overall in the series. The writing was excellent and I was just totally amazed, and had a bit of everything. Definitley a rewatch-er!😀

Forever- This one just made me cry! With Joyce's funeral and the scene when Buffy realises what Dawn is doing it's almost heartbreaking! But it was really good, I liked how Spike helped Dawn and the dynamic there, and YAY ANGEL CAME BACK! BANGEL SMOOTCHIES!!😀😀😀 (lol oh come on, like you didn't see that one coming😉)

The Weight of the World- I think I just like this one for three main reasons (1) Spike trying to drill through everyone's head that GLORY IS BEN ("Is everyone here very stoned? Ben. Glory. He's a doctor. She's the Beast. Two entirely separate entities, sharing one body. It's like a bloody sitcom! Surely, you remember!") haha, that was awesome! (2) When Willow took charge and started dishing out orders (3) It showed a weaker side of Buffy, that everything HAD taken its toll on her, it was interesting to see a different side of her character, especially given her attitude prior to that episode.

The Gift- Do you even have to ask? This episode is just excellent in so many ways, probably my favourite finale. It was just WOW, wonderfully written, wonderfully done, just freakin' AWESOME!😀
 
Okay I have loads of fave episodes from this season!

Real Me. I just thought it was cool and weird how Dawn was suddenley introduced as if it was the most normal thing in the world!

The Body. I think that the death of Joyce was handled really well and that Sarah's acting was great. It was really realistic and just a fantastic episode overall.

Tough Love. I found it horrible that Tara was attacked by glory and I thought Willows reaction was great. My favourite part of the whole episode though is the end, when Glory catches up with them and Tara says she can see green energy coming from Dawn. The dawning on Glory's face when she realises is classic.

Spiral. Also another good episode, My fave bit is at the beginning of the episode. It's the truck bit when Glory says any last words slay runt and Buffy comes back with Truck! So funny!

The Gift. How can you not love this episode? It's got the action, the comedy and the crying factor. My ultimate favourite episode.
 
Buffy Vs Dracula - i mean this episode was sooo funny, Xander just makes me laugh.... classic

The Body - ** SOB ** never not cried yet!

Intervention - ok the buffy-bot episode is one of my fav eps in season 5... i mean smg did a great job... 🙂 hilarious

Blood Ties - great episode very deep in many angles... great job!

The Gift - the hardest thing in this world is to live in it! that made me bawl more than i already was i mean buffy jumps and also tells you what she is saying to dawn i litterally had a box of tissues in front of me!!! 🙁
 
I just went through some written spoilers for season five (at least for me) and I gotta say I'm not looking forward to "The Body"
Sounds like an episode you should watch if you wanna get depressed and jump off a roof. And that's definately not on my to-do list.

But...
As of now, after four episodes, I'm thinking it's unfair that Buffy seems to blame (you know who) for her mom's condition. Talk about jumping to conclusions--Wow!
 
For me it would have to be "The Body" and "The Gift"....both very emotional episodes. I really liked how they had absolutely no background music in "The Body" ....made it so much more raw and real.
 
3.The Replacement - It was fun!
6.Family I loved the Tara themed ep!
7.Fool For Love Learing more about the slayers, that was cool!
11.Triangle Anya and Willow together are just brillent!
12.Checkpoint Buffy's speach at the end of the ep was so cool!
16.The Body AMAZING
19.Tough Love Loved super willow!
22.The Gift What can I say!
