has ranked the 144 episodes offrom worst to best. We look at how the narrative was moved forward, how well characters were developed, how well the episodes tackled the core themes of the show, and so much more.Season 4, Episode 18 – “Where the Wild Things Are”the strangest episodes in the entire series. Its placement in the season is bizarre. The plot is nonsensical. All in all, it’s one of the most baffling episodes of television you could watch.
as an allegory for frat boys and date rape, with these college boys manipulating innocent high school girls to their parties for sinister means. Those means would be sacrificing them to a snake demon who bears a shocking resemblance to a phallus as it rises from the ground. It’s about as heavy-handed a metaphor as you’ll find throughoutSeason 2, Episode 18 – “Killed by Death”premise here about dealing with childhood trauma, but it’s just not executed all that well.
weird Season One episode that falls a little flat. The Sunnydale High talent show is approaching while students turn up with missing organs. The culprit seems to be a creepy puppet called Sid, who the gang suspect of being a demon, but actually turns out to be a cursed demon hunter. The real antagonist is a random character introduced in the closing minutes. The premise is fun, but it doesn’t come close to sticking the landing.
were an interesting addition to the show in terms of world-building, but they just never clicked on-screen, consistently taking too much time away from the central cast that we’d come to love over the past seven seasons. “Bring On the Night” also marks the beginning of a tough stretch inthat varies in quality but starts to feel very uniform. Buffy gives an inspirational speech, everyone is cold and broody, and the story loses momentum.
Season Seven was to bring a lot more levity to the story, which he does achieve to a degree. The episode is pretty Spike-centric though, as a lot of this stretch of episodes in Season Seven was. It languishes and feels a bit repetitive frankly, but Buffy telling Spike she believes in him is an emotional touch that keeps the ball rolling.up in a mystical moral panic and wave of hysteria aimed at witches, leaving Willow as the target of the town’s ire.
a strange episode, feeling almost uncharacteristic at times. Dealing with the aftermath of her encounter with The Master, and of course, her death at his hands, Buffy is scarred and traumatized. And while the episode is driving home how difficult it can be to overcome trauma, Buffy is kind of a dick here. Her weird seduction of Xander is cruel, something that Buffy has never been before or will be again.
