To know me is to love me
Nightmares, Prophecy Girl, and The Witch. I also enjoy Never Kill A Boy On The First Date...but nobody else does. That's OK, I'll admit I love that ep!!!:flower:
For me, the best would be either "Witch" or "The puppet show"
Both had some cute twists in them that made you rethink your thinking.
(I'm not a fan of the "Angel" episode since the show is about Buffy and not Angel. I know they get into a relationship, but this happens in every show. It starts out one way and the writers send it off on another route by adding some lame and unnecessary things like romance and whatever else have you. The X-files was like that...)
It made me cry when Buffy said she didnt want to die......
I'd have to say that it was probably the intention of the writers right from the start to involve romance, etc. in the show. It seemed apparent right from the first episode that Angel and Buffy were going to have some kind of romance....so I'd have to disagree with your assertion that the show started out "one way" and then got "sent off on another route". The show wasn't just about Buffy....it was about all of the characters. Buffy was the main character....but I don't think it's fair to say that the entire show was supposed to be based only around her character. That said....I think the episode about Angel was justified and gave us insight into a character that played a very important role in the show for the first three seasons. I don't think the writers could have done anything else other than expand on Angel's character if they wanted him to play a prominent role in the show (as he did).
I think the writers have always tried to make the show so that people could relate to it....they had the characters experience real things like school troubles, romances, fights with parents, etc. I think without all of these things the show wouldn't have been the same.
