Buffy the Vampire Slayer


Okay, I know I'm in the minority on this one. I actually liked Riley, and Faith, and I count Season 5 as one of my favorite seasons of Buffy, mainly becuase I thought Buffy's death scene was amazing and terrifying in ways I am still processing today. Like every time I see a construction crane lurking over the skyline I think of Joel Grey.

So...

But the folks at Pajiba do an awesome job dissecting Season 2 and making the case for why this one is the best. And while I loved Season 3 too, I have to admit that as they mentioned each scene, I was able to recollect it crystal-clearly. That is saying something for a show that hasn't been on for 10 years.

By the way, WHY is it that every Buffy clip on YouTube is a fan video set to some crappy music? They point that out in the article, but I noticed it too when I was looking for a clip of Buffy jumping off the crane and into her death in the Season 5 finale. I appreciate the showcased talents of would-be music video editors as much as anyone. But can't someone just post the scenes as they are?
