Oooh. Are we ranking finales? Here is mine:
Becoming I&II
Chosen
Two to Go/Grave
Restless
Prophecy Girl
The Gift
Graduation Day I&II
This, BTW, does not match my season ranking which is right now: 2, 6, 3, 4, 7, 1, 5
Gunn: Well, how horrible is this thing? Lorne: I haven't read the Book of Revelations lately, but if I was searching for adjectives, I'd probably start there.
'Hell Bound'
Buffy 4: Grr. Arrgh.
This is where we talk about Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No spoilers though?if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it. This thread is NO LONGER NAFDA. Please don't discuss current Angel events here.

And when he gets flustered when he realizes he has opened the door for her.
Yes, this part! And when she calls him on whether he thinks they're on a date and he's all bluster and then, "Do you want it to be?" So William.

Looking at that list....I want to put Graduation Day above Prophecy Girl. Because of the Faith vs. Buffyness of it. But then The Gift would be last and there is so much good there. Do I dare put Prophecy Girl last?
Must ponder.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Yes, Crush makes my IHEARTSPIKE meter go all wonky. Season 5 was great in that it was one long Spike-love-a-thon for me.

Season Premieres:
Bargaining I&II (I'm feeling a silly amount of out-of-nowhere Spike love today - and it is JM's birthday. Freaky.)
Anne (100% because of the Ghandi joke)
Lessons
WTTH/The Harvest
The Freshman
When She Was Bad
Buffy vs. Dracula

All is well that ends in pizza.
Okay, Helen. You need to see the last two S6 eps.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
Hmm. My season and finale rankings, with skating-style Technical Merit and Presentation scores (presentation being the tiebreaker). I'm using technical merit for how well I think the arc hung together, pacing, etc., and presentation for my emotional reaction to it:
S2 (5.8/6.0)
S3 (5.9/5.9)
S4 (5.4/5.6)
S5 (5.2/5.6)
S7 (4.8/5.7)
S1 (5.2/5.2)
S6 (4.8/3.8)
Finales:
Becoming I/II (6.0/6.0)
Chosen (5.9/6.0)
GD I/II (5.9/5.9)
Restless (5.8/5.9)
Two to Go/Grave (5.7/5.9)
The Gift (5.6/5.9)
Prophecy Girl (5.7/5.7)
IOW, I rank the finales much more tightly than the seasons. Joss & Co. definitely know how to go out with a bang.
