Rene's thread about which episode you would choose to try and convince a friend of Buffy's greatness inspired this topic. If you had a friend who was willing to watch a handful of eps instead of just one which story arc/episodes would you choose? I would go with Season 2's Angelus arc and the episodes "Surprise", "Innocence", "Passion", "Becoming Pt. 1", and "Becoming Pt. 2". I think that's such a key part of the overall Buffy story and it's also when the show really came into it's own.
