My top ten are pretty predictable, although I am a bit surprised to realize that I like Wesley that much. The ones near the bottom are pretty predictable, too - mostly minor characters that I don't remember well and/or remember just enough to hold grudges against. Or else they are Lorne. Sorry, Lorne.
The episode list was harder because I don't remember all these episodes very well.

143 The Puppet Show
144 Living Conditions
The top ten are dominated by the experimental episodes, soulless Angel, The Gift, and some special favorites of mine: Dead Things, Who Are You, Fool For Love, New Moon Rising. Interestingly, each of those episodes is associated with one of my top 4 characters: I fell in love with Buffy in Dead Things, Who Are You is a Faith episode (and I was thisclose to ranking it below Fool For Love, which would have matched my rankings of favorite characters), Fool For Love is Spike, New Moon Rising is Willow.
My bottom ten include the predictable S1 episodes, some predictable S2 episodes, and my special distastes: Living Conditions and The Prom (I am a little surprised the Him outranks The Prom, though).
