The only one from the above list that i haven't seen is "Wrecked" -

I will say that some of them are very well done, but for the most part, i'm not impressed --

"I Only Have Eyes for You" is one of the best, as is "Forever", but then there are episodes like "Bad Eggs" that just can't catch you're fancy ---

'The Wish' is okay, but there are some gaping plot holes, and 'Dead Man's Party' - kinda 'cliche' in that it's kinda been done - there's always something going wrong every time someone has a party on Buffy -- new idea please --

"Living Conditions" was childish and kinda stupid - ie: why are Buffy and Willow not already roomies? they knew they were going to school together - wouldn't they have already arranged to room together? they ARE best friends --

Most of those episodes are excellent...although I think all episodes are excellent.

guess it also depends on your criteria for an 'excellent' episode -

personally - as i've said many times, and markpud will probably smack me, but anyway - i like for all the characters to get ample screen/air time

and Marti Noxon has this incredible knack for leaving out Dawn and Spike ---

"Bad Eggs" and "Living Conditions" are two of my least fave eps of Buffy - the only one that really beats either is "Ted" which was just so stupid i could never watch it again --

What's wrong with 'Ted'? I liked seeing more of Joyce on screen.

Highlander II · 2nd March 2002, 09:54 PM

oh seeing more of Joyce was fine - i just didn't like the story line - the plot of the episode and i really don't like John Ritter -

and i didn't like it, and don't know if i could sit through it again - i found it boring and predictable -

I thought there were a lot of interesting issues, especially the way Buffy 'accepted' another male in the house.
