I'm not shocked by the results. Anyway, this list will be added to the 'best episodes' section of the site sometime soon. So look for that page at some point. Let's see what you guys had to say...

"How can you beat WITW? It's funny, keenly romantic, and then it tears your heart in two. Just the last scene with Wes alone makes me melt every time. Joss still rules." - M Jade

"i had to go with i will remember you because it has angel and buffy together again and you have got to love the interaction between cordy and doyle with wonderful dialogue and great interactions between different types of characters."
- kenozdra

"I Will Remember you! :D Awesome eppy! I'm sure I've stated that a billion times on this site! :) Powerful and sad... very heart felt and one emotional eppisode! Can't look at time the same way!"
- Roxy Winters

"again i'm going with one of my all-time angel/buffy eps...i will remember you. the love, the loss, the heartache...plus the arguement that the sanshu prophecy has "technically" already been fulfilled (angel WAS human after all...) either way, a great ep especially for us buffy/angel peeps!"
- Nighthawk

"I think there were alot of bad eps in all of the seasons so far, my all time fave is "I will remember you" it's so sad and cute!"
- Rose

"I remember Doyle even if Angel doesn't. Hero was one of the best and it was the heroic death of Doyle that made it that way. Geez the man gives his life to his friends and you would hope that they would remember him for more than a few episodes."
- Zgirl714

"I Will Remember You. Well, I voted for Five By Five last time, and I liked them both. Plus IWRY had Angel in it. LOL"
- Selz

"Oh crap I forgot to vote. Which title is to what ep again? Crap - Im having a Poop Bah moment--should I wear Depends or does that depend? Oh yeah where Faith shows up and they fight and they cry and then someone has a masectomy. No...thats Mary Tyler Moore. Ill be checking into rehab now...bye."
- wretch

"Five By Five was by far the best, the acting was really brilliant and the fight scene at the end was amazing !!!!"
- Luke

"There are quite a few episodes on the list that I like, but I will have to say that my favorite is "I Will Remember You." I know a lot of people are going to pick that one, but if I am just in the mood to watch 'something...anything' that is the episode that I pop into the DVD player to watch. I even choose it over quite a few Buffy episodes. I guess that would make it one of my top favorites."
- RedHeadedWitch

"I love the episode "I Will Remember You" because it shows that Buffy and Angel are really meant to be together. Angel turn human because of a mohra demon but then went back to the Oracles to turn him back for her life. He told her everything and they cried and thats it. It was sad."
- bangel

"Well, i chose Spin the Bottle, even though right now it's on the end of the list. i picked it because I like the funny episodes other than the sad ones...the sad ones are depressing and I'm already deprssed ebough, so it was nice to have that on comic episode in that HORRIBLE season four...and it had perfect timing...and did anyone think it resembled Tabula Rasa? I mean, they 'loose their memories' then once they get them back...there's a huge arc (spike and Buffy sleeping together, and the beast). So I always enjoy a funny ep better than a turning point or something, cuz I need something that can make me laugh."
- Trish

"Waiting in the wings had everything a good episode needs comedy, drama and continuity and that's why it gets my vote for best episode."
- Amber

"Wow. Looking at this list really makes me appreciate what a great show Angel really is. Though I personally would've put more episodes from seasons 1 and 2 and less from 3 and 4, this is still a list of examples for amazing TV. It was a hard choice, but I went with "Are You Now Or Have You Ever Been". I love that episode, and it was so beautifully done. I still can't help but cringe when the bellboy sais that he had to "make him fit"..."Hero" and "Darla" follow closely by."
- Fat Tony

"Picking the top episode of Angel of all time is kind of difficult--unlike Buffy there just isn't a clear-cut winner in my mind. Whether this means Angel is more consistently good, thus making choosing a favorite episode more difficult or just not as memorable as Buffy, I leave to you to decide. Looking over the list, I narrowed it down to two--both from season three. In the end, Billy gets my vote, just barely. It's a great episode full of tension, atmosphere and payoff on plotlines begun earlier in the season and over the course of the series. I am pretty sure Billy won't win the poll, but it gets my vote, for now. However, since we couldn't include season five and my new current favorites Lineage and Destiny, the vote has to go to Billy. Great stuff and definitely one I'm looking forward to on the season three DVD set!"
- Michael Hickerson
