Season 2 poll

what was your favorite episode of buffy season 2 vote and then please post a message saying why you picked that episode.

[Buffy obsessed fan]

I'd have to go with Killed By Death. Probably because it's the first episode to go into Buffy's past, at least as far as I can recall it is. Also it's like the kind of thing that can happen in real life, kids can see things adults can't - or at least I've been told. When I was 7, I could see things, and my Mum thought I was crazy, and the same with these kids in this, I mean the demon WAS real, so in that aspect it was different. But something about the episode just really interests me.

[codyw1]

Innocence. Scary and very shocking at the time.

[harmonyslittlelamb]

Probably 'Bad Eggs' it was...different, to other episodes in that season.

[Supergirl]

That's a hard one, seeing as Season 2 had so many good episodes. I think I'll have to go with Passion though. It breaks my heart everytime and even though I know what's gonna happen, I find myself praying that Jenny somehow breaks away from Angels grasp and that her and Giles finally get the chance to be together. The episode was really well-written and Angel's voice over still sends shivers up and down my spine.

[heartsforDB]

Halloween no contest

its just great helpless Buffy, Soldier Xander, Willlow Scaring Giles by walking threw walls
and of course 'he's like a care bear with fangs'

that whole ep is just great :p

[Lyri]

it's a toss between the 'What's My Line?' two-parter and 'Halloween'

although, Sexy Soldier!Xander might win out, lol

[heartsforDB]

yes Sexy Soldier Xander ALWAYS wins out!

[DarklyDreamingDrusilla]

I would have to say What's My Line (two parts) because I love Spike and Dru in that season and I loved when Xander and Cordi got together in that episode
Cordi: Dorkhead!
Xander: Wow dorkhead you slash me with your words. (might not be exact quote but you get the idea) their relationship cracks me up.

[Jules]

Being a bangel I'm very tempted to say Surprise/Innocence and on the humor side I'm leaning towards Halloween, but my favorite episode has to be Becoming Part 1 & 2. This episode has everything. There's drama, humor and heartache.

The shock of Dru killing Kendra was a huge surprise and incredibly chilling considering it was similar to the Buffy/Master fight with Kendra getting hypnotized and all. The plot twist of having Spike help Buffy added the humor the episode need so that it didn't end up to dark. There was the whole heartbreak of Buffy having to kill Angel when he was no longer Angelus and the show was left on a very good cliff hanger with Buffy leaving Sunnydale. Plus the introduction of Whistler was good. I always thought he would have been a great recurring character for other episodes.

[Tranquillity]

I think i'd have to say Becoming, part 2 - It's just a great episode, Spike and Buffy as reluctant allies, Buffy and Angel's sword fight, Willow's first foray into serious magic and then that heartbreaking ending.

[SpikedBuffy]

I love, love, love Innocence. I could watch that eisode over and over.

It's the rocket launcher. It's all about the rocket launcher!

[The Chosen]

I'm partial to the Kendra-ness of the season, so I'm picking What's My Line 1 & 2 and then Becoming 1. They're great episodes, too, which makes it easier to pick them. :D

[Joyce Summers]

There's too many that I love in this season for me to pick just one favorite. Haha. I'm being completely serious though. I think I can probably narrow it down to:

Surprise/Innocence: I just love, love, loved this part of the Bangel arc. And it was such a powerful two parter and simply amazing. Every scene was fantastic. And I agree with what Joss said on the commentary about the very end scene of Innocence where he said he thought 'Wow! We just had a rocket launcher but this is even more amazing'.
Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered: Because it's just so darn perfectly amusing. And I love this light episode amongst all the dark.
Passion: Very powerful and the first major death/loss on the show we experience.
Becoming: Because it was a hell of a finale and that montage at the end? Ooh, shivers-creating.

Okay- so my definition of narrow is impressively wide. Haha.

[LadyLavinia]

My favorite Season 2 episodes are "School Hard" and "I Only Have Eyes For You".

[Senior Watcher]

i have to admit, when i think of season 2, i think of 'halloween'.

what a great episode. willow is seen (by only us) as a sex goddess, xander as a soldier was hilarious, buffy as a scared damsel in distress...........should i go on?

although, i am not a fan of ethan rayne. i know, i know. most of you like him. i just didnt like how he kept coming back and noone ever kicked his ass.

[Jaded Wolf]

Where's the poll? Anyways, Passion is my favorite for Season 2 followed by Becoming. Passion was just well written and really delved into the psyche of Angelus. His voice-over throughout the show sends chills everytime I watch it. I also thought it was chilling the way Angelus watches Buffy and Willow outside the Summers' home when they receive the news about Jenny's death. Angelus leaving drawings and Willow's fish in envelopes was such a nasty touch. This show stands alone for so many other reasons. When I first saw this episode, as Angelus was chasing Jenny around the school I knew he would bite her and to me that was just normal for a vampire to do. However, when Angelus just snapped her neck that was totally unexpected.

Becoming stands alone too because here is where we see Xander emerge out of the weakling sidekick role. He stands up to Buffy and we see the "all seeing" Xander began in this episode as he lays out the deal to Buffy about restoring Angel's soul. He even gets into it with Giles about Jenny's death and for the first time in the whole series I actually did not like Xander. He was no longer the "dote on the Slayer" boy. He was now the one who would provide the voice of reason even when no one wanted to hear it. I went from not liking him at that moment to realizing what he was about. Xander will do anything he can to protect and defend his friends. Overall, this season was great and it really showed the amount of maturity that took place in this season. I'm currently watching season 3 right now and just continue to be amazed at the development of the characters.

Definitely "Becoming". I mean Willow and her "determined look", and that outstanding performance of Alyson Hannigan when she feels the spell coming through her or whatever. I mean, Xander being a complete bast*rd - once again in these three first seasons... Buffy fighting and finally killing her love cos she has to. Kendra dying, by Drusilla finally showing us the extent of her power... Giles being tortured... And Snyder being such an asshole he cannot not remind me of the French president (sorry...)... And Buffy's life totally falling apart, with Joyce learning it and... Well, you just feel something's changing. That's the greatness of every good season finale. I just love that episode.

But that episode is so good it just cannot count. So, right after this episode, I think I'll go with "Passion". Angel narrating, Jenny dying in this violent, brutal way ; and even more brutal and violent is the scene when Giles discovers it. Willow and Buffy falling down when they learn it... I loooved Jenny for God's sakes!

[FeastOnScraps]

Okay so I think this is properly the hardest season to do this for as it lacks the obvious choices other seasons have (Hush, The Body, Once More.. etc) and also the strongest episodes rely heavily on the arc and 2 parters(sp). But after much thought I’m going to go with Passion as I adore this episode it has a great stand alone quality but plays into the much darker tone of season 2. It’s a truly tragic episode (with wounder performances from everyone) and I think it is one of the strongest they made.

[SMGfan17]

My favorite season 2 episode? Easy. It has to be "School Hard" because it was Spike's first appearance!

[Cangel]

Quick question in between: Where are we supposed to vote for the episode?

My favourites are probably School Hard and Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered. I just loooove those. And gotta say, there are tons of other great s2 episodes, really.

Of course Spike is awesome, but that's not the only reason I like School Hard. It was just the stand alone scenes were so great, like SPike and Dru coming to Sunnydale, and how Angel and Spike met etc
Well and since Cordy is my fave character, am I not automatically bond to like BBB, lol?

[UlaGan]

I'd choose "Passion" - for it was very dtrong emotionally, and I felt so down about Jenny's death - she was one of the characters I liked. That scene at Giles appartment... so toughing, brilliant.
Yet, I do like "Bad Eggs" alot. Buffy and Xander are both so hysterical in it. I'm always amuzed when i watch it.

[DeadButStillPretty]

Well Spike and Dru are two of my favourite characters so I LOVE School Hard but I also love Bewitched,Bothered+Bewildered cause of the huge amount of humour in it.I also like Ted and what Buffy feels like cause she thought she killed a human.I also love Whats my line? It's so fast and full of energy and you gotta love how Xander and Cordy kiss in the basement.I'm also a big fan of Kendra.

[Hello Cutie]

School Hard. God I love Spike in that! He makes me laugh so much!

'I just like them.. they make me feel all manly.' LMAO! :D

[Blackloliita]

Till now "What's My Line Part 1" probably, I just like soooo much the relationship between Xander & Cordelia, so funny & romantic at same time :D

[MSchett]

Mines Halloween at least Xander got to be the tough guy for a little while

but Bad Eggs comes in a close second followed by Passion

[littlewilly]

I dont know. Innocence, Passion and Becoming. and School hard. how can i choose.

[ItMustBeBunnies]

Season 2 is tied with season 6 for my favourite so its hard to pick, but I think Ill go with I Only Have Eyes For You.....or Becoming pt 2.

[scobro]

I thought The Dark Age was the best. (but again, so many choices) but TDA had a certain 'creepy' factor to it, as well as really bringing the Giles character into the fore. It was interesting to see a character always in control having no control at all. The ending was, eh.. but have to have it as fave just for the creepy. I dont get those creepies too often.

[Blackloliita]

I saw Innocence now, it's probably one of the best of S2, so tragic. There is happening such a lot in.

[LaneMeyer]

I saw Innocence now, it's probably one of the best of S2, so tragic. There is happening such a lot in.

I just finished season 2 a few days ago, and I'm going with this as well... Innocence.

It really has everything you could want in a Buffy episode. Humor, emotion, tradegy... lots of pivotal moments in the season-long story arc. Plus, you have Buffy with a rocket launcher.

[fly on the wall]

Ehh, it's hard to choose between Becoming 1+2, Innocence, Halloween, and Passion...but I'm gonna choose Passion. :)

[Blackloliita]

Wow I just saw Go Fish and didn't have clue that as well Wentworth Miller and Shane West played in it... What a surprise! :D

[Violette]

For me it's a tie between Surprise/Innocence, Passion, and Becoming Part II. I love them equally, captures the greatest moments of the B/A relationship and Angel's drastic change.

[GATEGOD]

I just watched the first episode and it blew me away. It was so funny, so sad, and so beautiful! The final scene between Buffy/Willow/Xander when they talk to her as if nothing has happened and the nice happy music comes on in the background as she smiles. Aww *tears up* I love this show.

[Grami]

Halloween definately though there was a lotr of great episodes in this season the whole story of everybody becoming their costumes always reminded me of a book I read round about the same time in the Spooksville series and I loved the way it was handled by Buffy. Though the Ms Calendar death scene in 'Passion' has to be one of the most frightening and chilling deaths ever on Buffy.

[AvatarofTruth]

Halloween. It's the perfect episode. Great story, dialog and humor, and the characters were evenly developed, moreso than any episode I can think of off hand. It has one of the best Willow moments of the entire series.

Xander: Those wacky vampires! That's why I love 'em! They just keep you guessing!

Willow: She couldn't've dressed up like Xena?

[DeadButStillPretty]

Well Season 2 is my favourite and there's so many good episodes I dunno where to start! Anyway I guess it would have to be Suprise/Innocence,School Hard,Becoming and Whats my Line?

[hannahfngrl26]

Becoming Part 2 hands down. At the end when Buffy kisses Angel and then *plunge* with the sword and hes all Buffy and then sucked into hell and she is crying and then takes off on a bus. Story of my life!!

[luckystar]

im torn between becoming pt2 and surprise, both so damn good, i think il go for becoming though there was so much drama happening at once u have xander saying he loves willow, willow showing the first signs of wiccan power, kendra been killed, spike and buffy been all tense and finally bye angel, what a moment, what an episode

[BASBritt]

Season 2 was absolutely superb, but I think my favorite episode of the season was "Innocence". It was earth-shattering and brilliant, and it scared the hell out of you to think that someone so good could go so very bad. It also showed that NO ONE is safe in the Buffyverse! LOL

[GATEGOD]

I've put this off for way too long, *goes to watch the last episode of season 2 and complete my rewatch of the season* lols!! :lmao:

[Darling]

Ah! But.. but.. where´s the actual poll? u.u

anyway, I love the Angelus-Spike-Dru arc... all the epis *_*
