THUD: THE BEST OF BUFFY
11.15.04
By Devin Faraci
 Tomorrow the seventh and final season of one of my all-time favorite TV shows hits stores on DVD: Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I was a late convert to the show, having been turned off by the original film, the network it aired on, and the title. But by season three I had been convinced to check it out and it didn't take long for me to fall in love with the unique mix of monsters, humor, continuity, great writing and sexy babes kicking ass.
While the Buffyverse continued on for one more year with Angel (and you know, I think season five of that show may have been its best and bravest), when Buffy came to a close it felt like a real ending, with solid closure - and not just for the characters who died/were maimed. And as of tomorrow we'll have a chance to see that ending again and maybe go back and follow the whole story from the beginning if you're like me and watch the DVDs obsessively.
So I says to myself, this is good THUD territory. Something to explore. Why not do a list, I thought. A list of the ten best moments in the entire televised Buffyverse? Then I thought why not do more - saddest moments, sexiest moments, funniest, etc. But then I realized that I hate compiling lists because I always forget stuff - but I love getting email. And that ten was not enough.
Here's what I came up with: You guys send me your favorite televised Buffyverse moments (Buffy or Angel, no movie, no books or comics) and I'll gather a big list. Then we'll vote on it and we'll decide the TWENTY FIVE best moments in the most democratic way possible. There won't even be an electoral college to muddle it , as much as smaller characters like Clem would like it.
I need your help for more than that, though. For this to be the best list of best moments in the Buffyverse, I need you to forward this to all your friends who are fans. I'll be contacting some Buffy webmasters and others in the nerdy online community, but I don't know everybody, so feel free to send this to everyone you know who is even remotely interested. Let's get a ton of responses for this thing. Maybe somebody has Joss Whedon's email - I'd love to have him weigh in.
Send me an email at devin@chud.com with BUFFY in the subject line. There's no prize here beyond the sheer joy of getting together with your fellow fans and celebrating the 110 episodes of Angel and 144 of Buffy. List up to 10 of your favorite moments, and go into as much detail as you like - we'll use your words when the final list is tallied up!
What are you waiting for? Get cracking - we'll start the first round of voting in a week or two. Stay glued to this space for updates!
