    Will do.

    I was sort of hoping for an interview with Joss Whedon himself, or SMG or Hannigan, but I knew it was a long shot so…

    I love Spike. And Marsters. And Buffy week. That is all.

    I agree. This will reveal what a Buffy nerd I am but I know Joss Whedon considers Innocence the most important Buffy episode of the series. Not that that means non-Buffy nerds have to like it but I do think it's quintessential Buffy.

    Xander and Buffy? No way. That would have just made season 7 worse. The writers clearly didn't know what to do with Xander after the high school years. In fact, the only post-graduation episode I really remember Xander in is Hell's Bells. Too bad.

    Agree with other commenters about Passion. Also, Surprise/Innocence, Doppelgangland, Lover's Walk, The Prom. And of course, The Body, but it is hard to rewatch.

    Agreed. I find I enjoy most Buffy episodes. But I do hate Go Fish and Inca Mummy Girl. I agree that between those two episodes, Inca Mummy Girl is infinitely superior. I don't even know why I hate it as much as I do.

    Huh. He kinda looks like a serial killer in that current picture of him.

    Ah, season 2. My favorite Buffy season, even though I do think season three was more consistent overall (no terrible episodes like Inca Mummy Girl and Go Fish). Still, season 2 is where Buffy got good. Passion, Innocence, and Becoming 2 are all on my top 10 best Buffy episodes list. I also like Lie to Me, I Only Have

    True. I think there are a lot of things to like about Angel. I just didn't grow as attached to those characters as I did to Buffy's characters.

    Ah, the Master. Unlike many (most?) fans, I actually like season one. I mean, it's not my favorite by a long shot (Teacher's Pet, anyone?) but there's something nice about how the Scooby Gang was still relatively happy before trauma in the later seasons leave them all permanently scarred. And while season one is kind

    I thought the musical went on for way too long but it didn't bug me as much as it has most other people. Kinda funny.

    I don't think there needs to be a reboot of the reboot. But if there is, I will probably watch it because as messy as the revival was, I liked being back in Stars Hollow for a bit. Still, if they do more, memo to Amy Sherman-Palladino: Nobody cares about the stupid Life and Death Brigade! Please, no more screen time

    I just finished a rewatch of Buffy a couple of months ago. I hadn't really seen the series since the original run so I was surprised at how well the show held up over time, even with the cheesy (sometimes terrible) special effects and bad fashion choices.

    I liked this episode but I didn't love it, although I am having trouble pinpointing why. Maybe it felt a little too jam-packed and rushed. I thought the best scenes were the ones that slowed down and focused on Jane's new parenting challenges and her waves of grief. I also liked the Petra/Jane scenes. But the

    I feel conflicted about this episode since on an emotional level, I am sad about Michael's death, while on an intellectual level I have to admire how well-done this episode was. I don't know if killing off Michael was the right move but the way the writers weaved the themes of memory and narrative reliability into the

    I just did a rewatch of Buffy. I think The Body might be the best representation of the shock of death I have ever seen on TV. And it did lead to a great stretch of TV.

    Seriously. Every time I see Luisa and Rose, I have to try and remember why I am supposed to care about them. Then I realize that I just don't. To me that dragged-out storyline is a flaw in an otherwise pretty perfect series.

    Hmmm, overall I think I slightly prefer season 1 but I still enjoyed most episodes this season and I'm definitely going to miss my weekly CEG fix.

    This! I kept looking at him, thinking that he clearly wasn't Adam Scott but he sounded just like him. Sigh. I miss Ben. And Parks and Rec.
