30 Days of Buffy: Day 2
Favorite Episode
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!
::head explodes::
How can I choose a favorite episode? What's my criteria? Best witticisms? Funniest? Most moving? Most watched? I mean, I have so many favorite episodes. I think "The Body" is brilliant, but it's not like I can watch it all the time. I adore "Once More with Feeling". "Tabula Rasa" is another I can watch endlessly. "Restless" is full of analyzing goodness and symbolism, which makes my inner lit major swoon. "The Wish" has hot-alternate-universe-butch-Buffy (rowr!). "Who Are You" has some great acting from SMG. "Lover's Walk" is one of my favorite Spike episodes ever. But is it more favorite than "Fool For Love"? And what about "Conversations with Dead People"?
This meme is really cruel.
I think, to prevent further head-explodingness, I'm gonna have to go with "Restless". It's got the funny (Cheese Man!), the character development, some good scary bits with the First Slayer, excellent writing and direction, and frankly, I always see something new in it. Its combination of pacing, plot progression, and metacommentary on the characters is just perfect.
I've decided this meme needs more quotes.
Buffy: But what else could I expect from a bunch of low-rent, no-account hoodlums like you? Hoodlums, yes, I mean you and your friends, your whole sex. Throw 'em in the sea for all I care. Throw 'em in and wait for the bubbles. Men, with your groping and spitting. All groin, no brain. Three billion of ya' passin' around the same worn out urge. Men... with your sales.
