Buffy works through her issues after dying in "Prophecy Girl" by being — as Xander puts it — a "bitca. Her visions of the Master, though, are actually quite frightening. Yes, it's another Riley-centric one, but at least here he has a reason to be freaking out. After finding his mother figure Maggie Walsh dead — and realizing that she tried to kill his girlfriend — Riley loses it. Oh, and he's going through serious withdrawal. It's not terribly interesting, but it's one of the less offensive Riley episodes. It's tough to rank the Initiative episodes, because they're mostly a lot of the same. Except at the end of the episode, she's killed by Adam, one of the worst villains the show ever gave us. A wedding episode where one character is left at the altar by another? You don't say. Aside from exploring well-worn territory, "Hell's Bells" is cruel to its characters, sending Xander down a path of self-loathing from which he barely recovers. To be fair, there are some funny moments, as the demons and humans try to mingle. Again, Season 7 is a blur. This episode is mostly notable for unmasking the robed figures as harbingers, agents of the . While it moves the plot along, it's otherwise unremarkable. The good news is, Willow brings Buffy back to life. The bad news is, there are demon bikers. There's a lot that works — Buffy's confusion over her new state and the Buffybot's attempts at humor — but there's really a lot that doesn't. Seriously, those demon bikers. Dawn whines a lot over the course of her three seasons, but it actually works in "Potential," where she's falsely identified as a potential slayer and then learns she's actually just a useless former Key. While it's not a great hour, Xander's final speech to Dawn is sweet, and Amanda is definitely the best Potential. Some of Season 7's funniest moments are in this episode: Spike tackling Buffy with a rocket launcher is actually perfect. But the rest of it is very "been there, done that" — and done better in "Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered. So good. Buffy thinks her roommate Kathy is an evil demon, and surprise, she totally is! It's a clever idea with an amusing pay-off, but it's not that fun to watch everyone think Buffy is nuts. She's clearly having a hard time adjusting to college, as we learned in "The Freshman. Buffy returns to , and everyone treats her like crap. Sure, she left without saying goodbye, but she had her reasons! Honestly, everyone's a little unpleasant in this episode. The zombies, however, are fun, as is Giles' amazing line, "'Do you like my mask? Isn't it pretty? It raises the dead! And it's horrifying — this girl was held against her will and forced to take in the essence of a demon. It's a powerful moment that has more resonance than much of Season 7. When Willow brought back Buffy from the dead, she brought a demon along with her. The story is standard fare. What's more interesting is Buffy's inability to adjust back to being alive, particularly with her revelation at the end of the episode that she had been in Heaven, not in Hell as Willow insisted. The writers were faced with a tricky task when it came to dealing with Willow after Dark Willow. Here, Willow finds herself literally invisible to her friends as she deals with her guilt. It's somewhat effective, although Dawn's wacky paralysis is the real highlight of the episode. And yes, at the end of the episode, Buffy and Spike literally fuck a house down. It's kind of incredible — not only because it feels cable explicit on a network series, but also because, well, it was a long time coming. As another middle-grade Season 7 episode, "Bring on the Night" stands out for two reasons: first, because the First torments Spike in the form of Drusilla, and second, because Buffy gets the crap beat out of her. It's awful to see, but it was an important moment in raising the stakes. And her speech at the end is rather inspiring. Can we just be shallow for a minute? Two Spikes are better than one. That's largely what sets "Sleeper" apart. Also, Aimee Mann performs two songs, and while it feels a little forced, they're really good songs. Is "Sleeper" better than most of Season 7? Maybe not. But Aimee Mann! Warren, Andrew, and Jonathan use their respective skills to screw with Buffy. At times, it's very funny — but it's also kind of depressing. As in "Flooded," it's just a bummer to see Buffy struggling with making ends meet. And watching her get drunk and sloppy isn't all that entertaining either. Sorry, Xander, two Xanders just aren't as exciting as two Spikes. But "The Replacement" is still a reasonably fun exploration of Xander's two sides, quite literally. It's nice to see a more mature, confident Xander, even if he does eventually succumb to goofy Xander's bad influence. Also: Snoopy dance. After killing Angel and leaving Sunnydale, Buffy is working as a waitress in L. It's jarring to see Buffy removed from her usual surroundings, but what's more interesting is watching her get pulled back into the life she tried to leave behind. Buffy has a sister? After Dawn's surprise appearance in the Season 5 premiere, the writers had to give fans something to work with. But Dawn is a little sister. She's annoying. It is what it is. Anya and Xander have ex sex. Faith and Robin Wood enjoy a one-night stand. Willow and Kennedy get down in the first lesbian sex scene on network TV. And Buffy and Spike cuddle. Buffy and Spike's relationship was many things, but it was rarely funny. Otherwise, it's an average Season 6 episode. Oh, and Buffy gets a cute haircut. There are two major problems with Season 4: the Initiative and Riley. But when the Initiative was first introduced, it showed some promise. The best moments in the episode occur after Spike has escaped from the Initiative and learns that he can no longer bite people. The impotence metaphor is apt and very funny. Maybe that's why it feels more interesting than it really is — or it could be the knowledge that the role of April was offered to Britney Spears. Either way, the final scene of Buffy discovering Joyce dead is a gut punch. Here's what works about "Spiral": the dramatic RV escape, Buffy swinging that badass sword. Here's what doesn't work: the goddamn Knights of Byzantium. Yes, Glory is a god, but the Knights of Byzantium always felt like transplants from another series. They're also human, which makes Buffy killing them a little troubling. In another depressing Season 6 development, Buffy is forced to take a job at a fast food chain. She starts to smell like meat. She has sleazy alley sex with Spike on her break. Luckily, the Monster of the Week is enough to temporarily distract from the misery. And yes, it does look like a penis. There are fascinating questions raised in "Ted," namely what happens if Buffy — with her Slayer strength — accidentally kills someone. The episode as a whole doesn't quite live up to that moral dilemma, but John Ritter is predictably great as the evil robot who romances Joyce. Let's be clear: "" is all about the final scene, in which Spike reveals that he has his soul back and falls on the giant cross. It's a stunning moment, and it makes up for the fact that the rest of the episode is a forgettable story about Anya turning a woman's ex-boyfriend into a Sluggoth monster. Willow kisses Kennedy and turns into Warren. It's a little bizarre, but it makes sense once you realize it has a lot to do with Amy's reappearance — and Willow's guilt. The subplot in which Buffy and Spike return to the Initiative to remove Spike's chip is less effective, because it involves the Initiative. Dawn has her first kiss! Yes, it's with a vampire, but he's a cute vampire. While "All the Way" isn't as strong as past Halloween episodes, it does at least address Dawn growing up in an interesting way. What is she supposed to do with her life now that she's no longer a Key? Kudos to Buffy for finding something new to do with the evil dummy trope. Sid is an actual character, not just a horror movie trope. This episode set the stage for the series' subversion of the genre. Maybe it's because she was played by Clea DuVall, but Marcie Ross always felt like the kind of morally ambiguous adversary who deserved more than one episode. Her single appearance, however, is at least a good one, as she uses her invisibility to terrorize the popular kids at school. But that open ending — where did she end up? There's something so empowering about watching Buffy, Willow, and Xander join forces to defeat the season's . Unfortunately, the season's Big Bad is Adam, who just isn't all that interesting. Their climactic showdown feels perfunctory, but the in-fighting and later bonding among the Scoobies is great. Enter Faith. The bad girl Slayer is one of the greatest characters the ever gave us, and that's apparent from very early on. Trick — fall on the opposite side of the spectrum. As such, they drag the episode down a bit. Where do we go from here? That's a question Buffy will come back to in Season 6, but this is the end of high school, and there are a lot of — wait for it — choices to be made. The Scoobies' anxiety over the future pairs well with the Mayor and Faith working toward his Ascension. We finally get another flashback to William the Bloody Awful Poet , this time as a vampire with serious mommy issues. The scenes with William and his mother are good, albeit creepy. The scenes with Principal Wood and Spike, less so — it just feels a little too late for his vendetta. Faith gets a new Watcher, who turns out to be evil. Which is, you know, great for Faith's trust issues. And evil or not, Gwendolyn Post is pretty damn cool. As great as Nathan Fillion is, the necessity of Caleb in Season 7 is questionable. But he does make an excellent first impression. It's truly horrifying and raises the stakes for the final episodes. Angel reverts back to Angelus and hooks up with Faith. Well, not really — but he pretends to, and honestly, it's kind of hot. This is the episode in which Buffy learns that Faith is working with Mayor Wilkins by way of a particularly awesome plan. The Slayers holding knives to each other's throats is iconic. Instead, Buffy imagines that her life as a Slayer is a delusion, and that she's actually a patient at a mental institution. Fun or not, it's mostly quite effective. As viewers struggled to adjust to the new setting of the University of California Sunnydale, Buffy strained to get used to college. It's not always pleasant to watch, but what saves "The Freshman" is a truly great villain, Sunday the vampire. She's just so fun, which is essential in an episode that's otherwise kind of a bummer. Dawn finally learns that she is the Key — and she does not take it well. This is a heavy episode, with Dawn cutting herself to determine who or what she really is. But it's also the most sympathetic Dawn had been thus far, and Buffy proves herself to be an admirable older sister. Another apocalypse? And in the middle of the season, no less. And he does so wearing a hideous Hawaiian shirt. It's an important turning point for his character. The shirt is just icing on the cake. And sometimes Season 6's darkness worked to its advantage. And Buffy must again deal with killing a human — she didn't, really — while navigating a truly fucked-up relationship. OK, yes, it's ridiculous, and it messes with the vampire rules we've been taught. But Rudolf Martin is so good as Dracula, and that makes the whole thing worthwhile. Plus, Xander goes all Renfield, going so far as to eat bugs in the service of his dark master. There's a lot to like here. For fans of the series, it's a stunning callback to past Big Bads. The rest of the episode, about Dawn's new life at Sunnydale High, is whatever. What better way for Willow and Anya to work out their issues than by joining forces against Anya's ex, a troll named Olaf? Past that, "Triangle" breaks up the tension of a season building to a big finish. Even when he's breaking Xander's wrist, Olaf is delightful, as most trolls are. Spike returns to Sunnydale! And he's shacking up with vampire Harmony! Aside from the life these undead characters bring to the season, we also get to see Buffy acting her own age. That means sleeping with certified asshole Parker, which is hard to watch, but feels very appropriate. After Cordelia breaks up with Xander, he gets Amy to do a love spell to win her back. But because magic is tricky, Xander ends up attracting every female in Sunnydale but Cordelia. Xander's escape from a horde of horny of suitors is both hilarious and scary — they want to tear him apart! It's hard but necessary, and it ends with hope, as Willow and Tara get back together. That won't last. Ah, so that's where Dawn came from. The explanation of her mysterious origins was wisely kept for a few episodes to build suspense.

Seth Green was the actor that played the character "Oz. While Spike appears to be from England, the accent is not real.

The show was filmed at a warehouse and also at the same high school that Beverly Hill was filmed at. Seth Green was a very successful actor back in the day and still has success currently. He is the only actor that has appeared in both the television and movie version of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer. It is hard to imagine someone as popular as Ryan Reynolds was possibly going to have a supporting role on "Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Spike as a human was known by the simple name of William.

And so what if he turns into a wolf three nights out of the month? They're adorable. Poor Spike. He tries so hard to prove himself to Buffy. Doesn't she realize that threatening to kill Drusilla for her is the ultimate romantic act? If you believe in the magic of Christmas, you love ". But the episode is actually a great introduction to the First Evil, who appears as among others to drive Angel to suicide. And though the well-timed snow at the end is hokey, it kind of works. Who knew a Watchers' Council episode could be this amusing? While the tests they administer to Buffy aren't exactly a laugh riot, the interviews they conduct with Buffy's friends are the real highlight. And of course, the episode ends with a big reveal, as Quentin identifies Glory as a god. Kretchmer "The Harvest". The two-part Buffy premiere does so much right: Darla's turn from damsel in distress to vampire, the snappy dialogue, the surprisingly well-handled exposition, and Jesse's tragic but short arc. At the same time, it's really just a taste of what's to come rather than a full picture of how great the show could be. In many ways, "Tough Love" is just pushing the plot forward, but the second half of the episode elevates it: First, Willow rushes to reach Tara before Glory can feed on her mind, but doesn't make it in time. Then, she uses dark magic for revenge against the god. It's the first time we see Willow's eyes go black — but not the last. Hard to believe there was a time when we didn't know Angel was a vampire, but hey, we all had to learn some time. Buffy learned in "Angel," an episode that really upped the ante on Season 1. It also showcases Darla's playful badness, something that is fully explored when she gets resurrected on Angel. Willow's grief over Tara's sudden death takes a quick turn toward villainy in an episode appropriately titled "Villains. The final scene in which she flays Warren is brutal, and her "Bored Now" is a nice nod to Vampire Willow's catch phrase of choice. Angel returns unbeknownst to Buffy , Spike gets riddled with arrows, and Xander comes down with a mystical case of syphilis. Also, there's a bear. Oz comes back for Willow, only to discover that she's moved on with Tara. He does not handle it well. But "New Moon Rising" is a more fitting goodbye to Oz, a beloved character who deserved better than getting caught cheating with another werewolf. And the ending with Willow, Tara, and the candle is sweet. Andrew delivers his take on Season 7's proceedings, and it's a lot more entertaining — and cinematic — than what we've seen. At times, "Storyteller" feels a little too silly, especially so late in the game, but Andrew's ultimate revelation of his guilt keeps the episode grounded. How about a little levity in Season 6? When Dawn accidentally makes a wish to a vengeance demon, she gets Buffy's birthday party trapped inside her house. There are so many great moments, from Tara's sly hints to Spike that she knows about him and Buffy to everything good-natured demon Clem says. The ghosts of a student and teacher who died in a murder-suicide begin possessing people at Sunnydale High. It's a rather darker take on the student-teacher relationship than "Teacher's Pet. Buffy's obviously not qualified to be a school counselor, but hey, at least it's not a menial job. The series reminds us again and again that you can't save everyone — just look at that death toll. And yet, "Help" is especially melancholy, with Buffy struggling to save Cassie and realizing that some people are simply doomed. While on a hunt with Buffy, Faith accidentally stakes Allan Finch, the human deputy mayor. After an episode of petty theft and dirty dancing, the murder comes as a shock and changes Faith forever. It involves the characters confronting their darkest fears, and the results are funny Willow's stage fright and devastating Giles' nightmare of Buffy's death. Still finding itself, the show demonstrated its ability to delve into the human psyche. Oz finds himself drawn to Veruca, a female werewolf. Willow sees where this is going. The audience does, too. And yet, the break-up is rough : Remember how cute Willow and Oz were? Watching them crumble as they realize they can't make it work is heartbreaking. Spike returns to Sunnydale after getting dumped by Drusilla. This is one of the first episodes to really humanize him — sure, he's still evil, but look how sad he is! He also gets all the best lines, which is kind of the way it goes from here on out. Too bad he's gone again till Season 4. Spike tries to rape Buffy, Buffy gets shot, and Tara is caught in the crossfire. It's also a strange, somewhat disjointed episode, but as painful as it is to endure, it builds to a breathtaking conclusion. The final shot of Willow cradling Tara's corpse will go down in TV history. Buffy finds her powers weakened, because unbeknownst to her, Giles has been drugging her as part of a cruel Watchers' Council test of the Slayer's abilities. It also gives us Zachary Kralik, a twisted vampire who left a lasting impression. Who knew Giles had a dark past? The reveal that he was once a punk kid nicknamed "Ripper" added another dimension to his character. The episode as a whole is strong, though not as lighthearted as most Ethan Rayne episodes. Sadly, the rift created between Giles and Jenny keeps them apart until it's too late. Yes, it's completely fucked-up that Spike has a sex robot modeled after Buffy. But the Buffybot is so delightful, you almost forget how gross it is. See also: the Scoobies' intervention when they think the real Buffy is banging Spike. Not yet! Here's another hilarious episode with a poignant final scene. And the real Big Bad of Season 6 turns out to be Well, Evil Willow. Darth Rosenberg. Whatever you want to call her. It's thrilling to see her with so much power, and awful to see her so out of control. There are several great moments in the finale, though Giles' triumphant return is the clear winner. Buffy temporarily gains mind-reading abilities and learns that someone at Sunnydale High is planning a massacre. The episode was delayed in the wake of Columbine, which is fair. But the bullied teen Buffy expects to go on a shooting spree ends up only wanting to take his own life. Jonathan's admission is powerful stuff. A demon masquerading as Hansel and Gretel leads the town of Sunnydale on an actual witch hunt, culminating in Buffy, Willow, and Amy nearly getting burned at the stake. It's always fun to see fairy tale conventions turned on their heads. And despite the near deaths at the end, there's a lot of humor here. In Ethan Rayne's first appearance, he sells Sunnydale kids costumes that turn into whatever they're supposed to be on Halloween. Buffy is an 18th century noble woman, Xander gets military training, and Willow is a sexy ghost. It's a clever take on a concept that's been done before. Buffy and Cordelia vie for homecoming queen, but they end up getting distracted Mr. Trick's SlayerFest '98, a contest designed to get the Slayer killed. There's a nice end of action and comedy — classic Buffy — and Cordelia gets to do more than just be sassy. While still remaining sassy, of course. Tara's awful family arrives to take her back home, answering a question that plagued viewers since Season 4 — what is Tara? Turns out she's a normal human and not a demon, as her family would have her believe. Penned by , this is a smart exploration of how men try to keep female power in check. Another Halloween episode! And another chance for the Scooby Gang to explore their fears. But "Fear, Itself" takes that concept and pushes it further with an engaging and genuinely scary plot that has Willow losing control of her magic foreshadowing! We also learn Anya fears bunnies. Without any explanation, Jonathan is suddenly the coolest and more important person in the universe. What's wrong with this picture? Turns out Jonathan did a spell to change reality — with hilarious consequences! Seriously, this is one of the funniest episodes of Buffy. The revised opening titles alone are priceless. In another delightful subversion of the norm, Ethan Rayne's latest spell turns the adults of Sunnydale into teenagers. Giles is at his "Ripper" best, seducing a bubblegum-popping Joyce. Snyder, it turns out, is still a sniveling little weasel. While there are actual consequences, it's really just a lot of fun. Amazingly enough, it only took Buffy till its third episode — second, if you count the two-part premiere as one — to really nail it. Let's just be grateful Buffy's cheerleading didn't last. Now that Anya is doing serious damage as a vengeance demon, Buffy has no choice but to take her out. Meanwhile, we flash back to Anya's life before Sunnydale and what led her to this point. It's a gorgeous exploration of the character, and the final scene is heartbreaking. Anya is left human — and alone. Play the cover of "Wild Horses" by The Sundays. See how fast you can get a Buffy fan to cry. This is such an emotional episode, with Angel breaking up with Buffy and then returning for one final dance. Buffy earning the Class Protector Award is one moment of sweetness amidst all the pain. So much pain. Meet Kendra the Vampire Slayer. Ignore her horribly fake Jamaican accent. That abomination aside, "What's My Line" is an excellent two-parter, introducing us to the first new Slayer and showing how different Buffy's life could have been. Oh, and Xander and Cordelia finally hook up, if you're into that sort of thing. Feeling left out by the rest of the group, Xander has an adventure of his own: He befriends an insane fellow student, helps raise the dead, almost blows up the school, and has sex with Faith. Meanwhile, Buffy and others battle some major evil, but who cares? It's Xander's turn to shine, and he does it so, so well. Season 7 proved itself capable of greatness with "Conversations With Dead People," an episode in which Buffy got therapy from a vampire named Holden, Dawn tried to make contact with her dead mother, and Cassie appeared to Willow with a message from Tara. It's a thoughtful, poetic episode bookended by the haunting song "Blue. Buffy's childhood friend Ford transfers to Sunnydale High — but he has an agenda. Turns out Ford wants to be a vampire. His reasons, however, turn out to be more complicated than Buffy realizes. The end is particularly sad, as Buffy stakes Ford and asks Giles to lie. In "," two vampires named Spike and Drusilla make their way to Sunnydale, and the show is never the same. The episode is great by itself, with vampires descending on the high school's Parent-Teacher Night. But it's really all about cheeky Spike and nutty Dru. Oh, and the Anointed One is finally staked. Faith wakes up from her coma and pretty instantly wreaks havoc on Buffy's life, using a device left by Mayor Wilkins to switch bodies with the other Slayer. It's a total mindfuck, with serious consequences for the characters. Buffy and Spike are getting hitched! If you guessed there was a spell involved, you'd be right. In addition to Buffy and Spike being grossly in love with each other, Xander becomes a literal demon magnet and Giles goes blind. OK, that last one's not so hilarious. But the episode really is. Oh, this one hurt. Jenny works on a spell to restore Angel's soul, but Angelus gets to her first, snapping her neck in the high school hallway. It's the first character death that really hit hard. Of course, it doesn't help that Angelus arranges a sick tableau for Giles to come home to, with a trail of rose petals leading to Jenny's corpse. Vampire Willow finds her way into our dimension, leading to a face-to-face confrontation with her squeaky clean human counterpart. The interplay between the two is brilliant and provides some clues about how Willow will end up: a lot darker and, yes, kinda gay. I don't wanna die. She wants to dance, not to face the Master and lose. Yes, she's brought back to life — with serious repercussions — but the gravity of her fate was never clearer. After a close encounter with a vampire, Buffy asks Spike to explain how he killed two past Slayers. We learn that before he was a fearsome vampire, Spike was just William, a lovesick and terrible poet pining after a woman named Cecily. Yes, he's a badass taking out Nikki on the subway, but he's also — well, you read the title. Willow tries to erase Tara's memory, and ends up erasing everyone's — including her own. The ensuing farce is the funniest Buffy has ever been. Buffy believes her name is Joan, Spike think he's Giles' son Randy, and no one has any idea that vampires are real. Anya and Giles also make out. It's fantastic. There is so much packed into the two-part Season 3 finale, it's impossible to list all the great moments. It's a thrilling cap to Buffy 's high school era. Buffy was rarely subtle with its metaphors, but that didn't diminish the horror of Buffy losing her virginity to her boyfriend and then finding out he wasn't the person she thought he was. By experiencing a moment of pure happiness, Angel reverts back to his soulless self, the vampire Angelus. And Buffy's heart is broken. For all its faults, Season 7 ended things right. Spike's final sacrifice — slightly ruined by the knowledge that he was going to reappear on Angel — is the the perfect culmination of his arc. And Buffy wins, sharing her power with every other Potential on Earth. Go ahead. The Gentlemen arrive in Sunnydale, stealing everyone's voices so they can cut out the hearts of their victims without interference. What results is a nearly silent episode, with music and significant glances in place of words. It's frightening, funny, and an impressive achievement. After replying to a fan on Twitter, creator Joss Whedon asked "What [is] your bidding? More Buffy the Vampire Slayer please". And more Buffy is exactly what he delivered. Drawn on a napkin. In Biro. The picture will painful emotional memories for many, as it appears to depict the moment Buffy killed the love of her life, aka Angel, by thrusting a stake into his heart and shoving him through a vortex. While the fan replied "thank you joss whedon, this will suffice. This is not enough! More Buffy now please. We're getting bored of watching re- runs. It's been 20 years since Buffy premiered , and though the show has obviously dated, it's just all the sweeter for it. It's worth noting too, that this list includes dated moments from "", Buffy' s pilot episode, but also the second episode, "The Harvest. Plus, once I started watching the pilot, I simply couldn't stop myself from instantly rewatching the next episode too. You know how it is. So, here, I present to you all the most dated moments from those two episodes, and just know that I mean all of the following statements with absolute, total love. Darla and her man-snack manage to break into Sunnydale High without setting off a single alarm. Oh, the '90s. Such simpler times. His whole entrance, which involves an entire set of loud, goofy warnings to his classmates as he crashes through them, is so beautifully '90s it deserves to be put in some kind of a museum. In these two episodes alone, we're introduced to such wonderful '90s Buffyspeak as the phrase, "What's the sitch? I mean, I totally get it — '80s and '90s Spader was an utterly irresistible, if incredibly sleazy, dreamboat of sorts. But yeah, it doesn't hold up too well now. Willow cunningly tells Cordelia that the "Deliver" key is the one that will save her work. Unbelievably, she falls for it, which is a dirty trick which simply would not work on teenagers in Sick burn. Especially when you consider that Cordelia, a year old girl, is basically dressed like a soccer Mom at a fundraiser throughout this entire episode. Don't adjust your television sets, guys.

‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer’ is getting a reboot

Others have appeared in every episode other than one. Buffy was pretty restrained when it came to hanging out with a bunch of guys on the show, but she hung out with a few.
