Fool For Love

In no particular order. I'm feeling weird about posting this list repeatedly throughout the years, but I just can't resist...

(I'm just thinking about how my favorite episodes are different from what I think of as the best episodes. So I'm trying to think of episodes that I love but don't necessarily think of as great quality compared to other Buffy episodes.)

I suspect the last is the most controversial, but I've always found that a beautifully crafted ep. The twist is simultaneously unexpected and inevitable, and the moral feels both sincere and perfectly suited to that point on the series arc. It wasn't a game-changer like the Big Two, but solid mainline eps are the foundation for the game-changers. A series made up entirely of Hushes and Restlesses would be more Twin Peaks than Buffy.

Ugh, it's so hard to mention only five. I could go on.

Graduation Day, Parts 1 and 2 (which I'm counting as two episodes)
The Body
The Gift
Once More, With Feeling
If Graduation Day is just counted as one episode, then I'd probably add in Innocence.

My list.
1. Fool For Love
2. OMWF
3. The Gift
4. Lover's Walk
5. Tabula Rasa
I like episodes with a good mix of comedy and emotion. And action. I like the action.

Really, it's hard to draw a line....

What happened was he was riding his scooter to work. A careless driver cut him off in traffic and hit him. He had relatively minor injuries, but while waiting for the ambulance a distracted driver ran him over and killed him. At least he did not suffer.
A trivial problem in the grand scheme of things is he died two days before my birthday, which is today, and will always somewhat suck from now on without him.
He was a Special Ed. teacher, a Browncoat and donated a lot of books to Kids Need to Read.
