top 30 btvs episodes
I've thought long and hard about what my favorite Buffy episodes are and i've come to the conclusion that I can only get it down to my favorite 30 epiosdes and these are them. I've chosen at least 2 ep's from each season and they appear in season and episode order, I can't force myself to choose an overall favorite!
