THIS ROUND IS CLOSED FOR VOTING
"Restless" beat "Consequences" clean and simple
"Becoming Part 2" beat "The Gift." Wow, "Becoming 2" is the ultimate game changing episode of the entire series, imo...but I never would've thought "The Gift" wouldn't make the top 8. "Becoming 2" better take the whole tourney after that drama.
"Hush" totally beat up "This Year's Girl" Story-wise, not sure I agree but I do get it.
"Innocence" edged out "Graduation Day pt 2" but it was very close.
"Becoming pt. 1" beat "Prophecy Girl" putting both of the eps in that particular 2-parter in the Elite 8!
"Once More, With Feeling" beat the epic writing and acting that is "The Body"...that was a toughie.
"Doppelgangland" beat "Surprise" aaaand now I'm really confused
and finally
"Tabula Rasa" took out "Band Candy." Well, the southeast Region "England" has always been the silliest of September Silliness

What the hell??? Region 1 and Region 3 are IMPOSSIBLE.
ReplyDeleteI went for "Becoming Part II," "Innocence," Once More with Feeling," and "Doppelgangland." I surprisingly had no problem making those choices.
ReplyDeleteI still miss "Who are You," "Selfless," and "The Prom," but I will get over it. Sigh.
Becoming Part 2 over Restless;
ReplyDeleteInnocence over Hush. Very tough. But Innocence is what define the Buffy/Angel dynamic. Hush will undoubtedly win but I think that will be a mistake. As unusual as Hush is, Innocence has much more intensity and also moves the story forward. *sigh*
Once More, With Feeling over Becoming, Part 2. No contest here. But, dang, I hate having to choose.
Tabula Rasa over Dopplegangland. Have I mentioned recently how much I hate some of these choices? ;-)
Becoming part 2 vs. Restless. Difficult. Two of my favourite season finales, but very different season finales. Voted Becoming for its initial impact.
ReplyDeleteHush vs. Innocence. Sililar match up. Creative S4 vs. Epic S2. This one goes to S4.
Becoming part 1 vs. Once More With Feeling. I hope the finale will become Hush vs. Once More with Feeling.
Doppelgangland vs. Tabula Rasa. Surprised to see these two episodes made it so far in the tournament.
Becoming over Restless. Easy. I'm surprised Restless made it this far.
ReplyDeleteHush over Innocence. Hush is a stand-alone ep, true. But it's so dadgum cool it overrides Innocence's storyline importance factor, in my opinion.
OMWF over Becoming Part 1. Easy.
Tabula Rasa over Doppelgangland. This was my toughest. I still don't know if I made the right choice.
The Tourney is coming to an end. I'm so sad. I wish it could go on forever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever in a great big ole orgy of Buffyfest madness....
LA & England were super hard. Guh, "Doppelgangland" v. "Tabula Rasa"? Next you'll be telling me Snickers v. Twix--can't choose!
ReplyDeleteRegion 3 was tough - went with Tabula Rasa. The rest were surprisingly easy. I'm still mourning the loss of Selfless, though. :(
ReplyDeleteRestless and OMWF are my all time favourite episodes. I'm so glad they both made it this far :)
ReplyDeleteI completely forgot to vote btw "The Gift" and "Becoming Part II" in the last round! I was so stressed over those two, I never cam back to vote. Oh, well.
ReplyDelete"Becoming Part II" has more emotion than "Restless". Plus, the awesome sword fight and "me" line.
I voted for "Innocence". Again, it has more emotion and as a lot of people have said, "Hush" is slightly overrated.
This was a tough one. I voted for "Becoming Part I" in the end because it deserves a fighting chance.
"Doppelgangland".
Hush is not overrated, not even slightly. It's not my favorite episode, but it's at the top. Michelle's Buffy credentials are now in question. I think only women say Hush is overrated, because it's not a core chick-flick type episode involving Aaannggeeelllll. You see how they all swoon over Aaaannggeeelllll episodes. There's an acute lack of objectivity going on here. Yes Sir. I could be wrong, but that's my latest and most technologically advanced Buffy theory. On a side note, I loved the Hush scene when Anya did the finger in the hole sign to Xander so they could, well, you know and the look on Giles's face was so funny....
ReplyDeleteSadly, my favorie episode has already been elimated by overzealous trigger-happy Buffyfesters....
It's getting easier for me.
ReplyDeleteBecoming 2 over Restless.
Hush over Innocence.
OMWF over Becoming 1.
Tabula Rasa over Doppelgangland. But only just. Mostly cause of Randy Giles and Joan the Vampire Slayer.
Hush and OMWF are just special eps that should move forward. Restless is a good ep, but it's basically just an extra.
