Monday 24 October 2005, by Simone : KEITH, YOUR LIST IS AWESOME! I loved Fear Itself and A New Man - they are on my top 5 as well, along with Tabula Rosa, "Once More...." and Pangs. I know I’m in a minority, but season 4 was the best; I also think the humor was the best quality in this season. One episode in Season 4 that often doesn’t make the list - much to my amazement- is Pangs. How funny is it that Buffy is trying to make Thanksgiving dinner, while Spike is now hanging around and neutered; Xander is combating five diseases at the same time, including Smallpox and Syphylus and Willow is being politically correct and trying not to kill a murderous indian spirit!!!!!! I think people need to re-watch this episode. Monday 24 October 2005, by martianhoney : I have to say though, anyone who includes 3 episodes from season 4 in their top five EVER, is a bit insane. But still, you picked a Xander-centric episode, so mucho respect for that. For me The Gift is the best ever by theway. Wouldn’t like to try and pick a whole top five right now though. Monday 24 October 2005, by Nick : It seems to me, that Keith is making a none-too-subtle attempt at trying to ’be different’ and chose episodes that no one else ever has (specficially in numbers five to three of his choices). The fact is that ’A New Man’ is on nobody’s list as a top five Buffy episode; I just don’t believe that out of 7 seasons of amazing episodes, anyone truthfully regards this episode as a favourite. As for Fear, Itself, again it’s great, but there is nothing particularly special about it - nothing that represents the essence of the show’s magic. The Zeppo is a quirky, if not bizzare choice.Monday 24 October 2005, by Anonymous : Hmmmm, good list of one-off episodes, although I’d maybe it without A new man and The Zeppo, I’d rather have some of....Restless, Fool for Love, Selfless, The Body and Bewitched Bothered and Bewildered. Although I don’t see why the top 5 or 10 episode lists people always make ALWAYS have one-off episodes in, just cos they stand on their own. There are so many amazing episodes to do with huge arcs, examples - The Gift (best hour of tv ever imo), Becoming (a close second) and Graduation Day, which would be the top 3 episodes on my list any day.Tuesday 25 October 2005, by Kim : I have shown "Hush" to someone who isn’t familiar with the series and it doesn’t work. You need to have seen "The Initiative" first to understand the Buffy-Riley dynamic which takes up a large chunk of the episode.Tuesday 25 October 2005, by Samanta : I so much agree with the last posting, the list isn’t the best at all... OK for OMWF and Hush. but the rest - I think the author of the list is very much into S4, agree there’s bunch of great episodes there, like Rangs - it’s so much fun so it’s definately got to be in the list. As for me Passion is always #1, then Becoming, Graduation Day, Gift, Doppelgängland - they all got to get a part in the listTuesday 25 October 2005, by Anonymous : how about mine. 1. passion 2. becoming 1 & 2 3. the zeppo 4. lovers walk 5. inca mummy girlWednesday 26 October 2005, by sambuca : Yeah, I have to agree with those that said Bewitched, Bothered, and Bewildered as well as Lovers’ Walk. Two very powerful episodes right there. At least one of the two should be on the list. I do like The Zeppo, though. Very good episode, and I also like the fact that the ’epic battle’ is only scantly shown. Very good showmaking, Whedon. Time for Joss to do a sitcom about crazy brothers in an apartment that run a burger shop together. It could be called....Sesame Seed Buns.Wednesday 26 October 2005, by Chris : I only have to contend with one statement in this list (since lists are formed by their authors and are the epitome of simple personal opinion) and that is the statement that season 4 is not his favorite season. Yet he chose 3 episodes out of a total of FIVE from that season for his best of Buffy list? I just wonder how much the others accusing him of ’one-off’ baiting or favored episode list-itis might have caught on to something? And any list without The Gift is faltering. I mean, I can see where The Body, and OMWF could alienate or not particularly resonate for some viewers, and I can find a couple of tiny faults with each of them myself, though I should say that, as is true-to-form for other lists, both of those would be on mine as well. But the Gift rawks!!Tuesday 1 November 2005, by Anonymous : i’d have to disagree, i think the zeppo’s great etc but passion,the body, normal again are all brilliant episodes. atleast one of them should be up.Sunday 11 December 2005, by Anonymous : Beer Bad. But I am a caveman. Yes, one of the two on the commercial, I’m the one who orders the duck And also yes, we can kick any part of any astronaut at any time. When & Where.
