"Doppelgängland". Always in the top three of my "Favorites" list, although the exact order of that list varies depending on which episode I'm watching at the time. Alyson Hannigan knocks it out of the park on this one.
Like Nabila, season three is also my favorite season. It's just full of fantasticness. But the episode I watch the most from this season has definitely gotta be, unquestionably, Band Candy. It's just fantastic.
-We get a return visit from Ethan
-Teenage!Snyder is just...just so hilarious. One of the best lines being 'Summers! You drive like a spaz!'
-As both a Giles and Joyce fan I love that the episode is pretty centric around this two and I just loved them both as teenagers. Especially when Joyce tells Buffy 'screw you' Buffy's face in reaction to those words is priceless. And Giles just whipsering to Buffy while she's talking to Ethan 'hit him again!'. Plus Joyce's teenagerdom-summed-up-in-one-look rejection of Snyder is just classic too.
-Giles/Joyceness (Joyles?!). I'm like the uber shipper for this couple (shame me, cheer me, you decide) so this was just like a shipper's dream for me, haha. But I love the way they are towards each other at the end, hehe, and the accidental revealing of what they actually did, in Earshot.
