  The Countdown, she's back....

#123 - Inca Mummy Girl
[episode 2.4]

It's Ampata! Apparently she is Buffy's male foreign exchange student....except for the male part. She's also an ancient mummy who sucks the life force out of people in order to stay alive. And what do ya know, Xander falls for her. That guy just can't buy a break. This is just silly pretty much all the way through, but you do have to love Eskimo Willow. Ah, back before the crackwhore days. Good times.

#122 - Gingerbread
[episode 3.11]

So Fairy Tales are real, according to Giles. Hanzel and Gretal seem to be a big hairy demon that doesn't like to be prodded with huge wooden posts. Geez man, you're bumming us out. We get the annoying "M.O.O" group in this one. Have you noticed a pattern here? Episodes featuring uncomfortable irritation are down on this list. I liken it to a rash on my ass. I hate that feeling, don't you?

#121 - Beer Bad
[episode 4.5]

Buffy strong. Buffy break stuff. Buffy look like not wash hair in week. Buffy hygenically challenged. Xander bartender. Xander only 19. What writers thinking? Writers high on smack. How that get past standards and practices? S&P slipping. They lazy. Typing like this hard. Me want to stop now.

#120 - The Killer In Me
[episode 7.13]

Kennedy's kiss brings the Warren hex out of Willow. Well, that makes perfect sense. I mean, as we all know, Kennedy (Not say, Tara or Oz) is Willow's biggest love. Who could've missed that? Wait, you mean the chemistry sucked? REALLY? Wow. I totally missed that. They didn't even do anything to Amy. Yeah, let's just let her go and continue to wreak havoc in people's lives. This episode makes me want to go back to typing in Beer Bad'ian.

#119 - Out of Mind, Out of Sight
[episode 1.11]

It's Marcy Ross! Invisible Girl! This is one of the uncomfortable irritations I was speaking of earlier. Now I'm sure some of you have this episode a little higher up than I do, but I can't stand it. The only part of this one I can actually sit through is the last 10 minutes. The rest is just flashbacks of a teenager who is treated like a complete reject. We all know how much we want to remember those years. I know I love a good kick to the sack, don't you? Yeah.

Parts -> [3]     2]     [1]


 

Atalanta: Pretty much agree with your list, but I like Kennedy!! And I like her relationship with Willow.. maybe not as much as I liked Tara, but still. I wish we'd seen more of Kennedy really.

UnpluggedCrazy: I quite liked Gingerbread and Inca Mummy Girl. Fun. Rest of those? Yeah, I agree, not so fun.

angelus: 'killer in me' majorly pisses me off. i guess i can see where willow would be attracted to kennedy's straighforwardness, but sadly its overshadowed by her general annoyingness. however, i must say that i really like 'out of mind, out of sight'. out of all the episodes dealing with the traumas of highschool, i think its the strongest, because its something that EVERYONE has felt, and i think they portrayed it wonderfully.

BillS: Only thing I liked about Out of Mind, Out of Sight was the very end when she opens her textbook. If you zoom in on the words, you'll find the lyrics to the Beatles song, Happiness is a Warm Gun. Bang Bang Shoot Shoot.

Noell: gingerbread scares me...a group called moos just not as funny when theyre evil. but lies my parents told me is the shit, i mean, comeon, u gotta love those flashback

Rebecca: Grbread. Hated that episode. I think Whedon was trying to attack the people who were attacking his show, so there's the episode where the people who attack the show attack his characters who attack back ... I'll just stop here. How 'bout "Lies My Parents Told Me"? That's my least favorite episode cuz it makes no effin sense no matter how you look at it. I mean, Spike siring his mother? And doesn't Wood have good reason to kill Spike? Can't Spike see in the dark? okay, will stop now ....

Always Right Tony: You guys are high, Gingerbread was good. Oh, well...
(01.02.2005, 06:50)

High on Unlife: "As You Were" isn't bottom of the list? It's the biggest crime in Buffy history - I refuse to watch it ever again! No, you can't make me nooooooo!

Spike_And_Angel: I hated Gingerbread, so good placement. But Out of Sight, Out Of Mind and Beer Bad should be higher up.
