Day #02: Favourite episode
My favorite regular episode of Buffy is Dead Things. The creepy atmosphere, the twisted Buffy/Spike dynamic, the geeks fully going over to the dark side (even if Jonathan obviously has his doubts), Buffy trying to turn herself in and Dawn and Spike trying to talk her out of it in their different ways, Buffy's weird dreams of Katrina in cuffs and Spike in cuffs, and of course Buffy's breakdown at the end, begging Tara not to forgive her. My favorite conceptual episode is probably Restless. I like Hush and I love The Body but Restless is about dreams, which are such fascinating things, and it does a great job with the dreams of the four main Scoobies. If I had to pick a favorite dream, it would probably be Willow's, with the amusing drama class and the revelation of the end of Willow's fear of being outed as the geeky girl she once was, with all her friends watching in contempt, and complete with flirting between her current and her ex

Who Are You is awesome! There are so many great episodes to choose from.

I listened to the soundtrack to OMWF one time too many at work, and got a little burnt out on the episode. It's probably my second favorite concept episode after Restless, though, and may have been my favorite in the past.

As far as I know, there is no schedule. I could be doing it wrong--the possibility of a schedule had not occurred to me.

I have so many notes re: WAY. I could do an entire book of meta just on that one episode.

As far as I know, there is no schedule. I could be doing it wrong--the possibility of a schedule had not occurred to me.

Probably a silly question - I'd never heard of "meme" until a year ago, and I assumed that a bunch of people would do it all at one time or - something. I'd be a failure at it as you've already seen; instead of "Favorite such and such" it'd be "Handful of Favorite things" or "Favorite season - but hey they all have their ups and downs, right?" ;)
