"Consequences" got lucky with a weak bracket, cause there's no way that's a top 16 ep (my opinion, my opinion). I can't believe "Choices" didn't make it out of the first round, haha. Anyway, great fun and I have no problem with the top four, even if "The Body" had to go against OMWF in the "Elite Eight." :-DBethnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6561869413186077787.post-65364404745786904232009-10-01T19:32:57.528-04:002009-10-01T19:32:57.528-04:00That was so close that, for me, they'll share ...That was so close that, for me, they'll share the top honor even though I did end up voting for <i>Becoming, Part 2.</i> I was sorriest to see <i>Innocence</i> wiped out before the finish and that might be why I went with Becoming.<br /><br />Anyway, thank you again Buffyfesters for the tourney. Excruciating choices all the way through aside? It was lots of fun! :-)skyroom80https://www.blogger.com/profile/08865553412805686625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6561869413186077787.post-6102475840176090302009-10-01T17:46:17.137-04:002009-10-01T17:46:17.137-04:00The top two, beside "The Body", were tru...The top two, beside "The Body", were truly my favorites, so I would have been glad with either.Kaarenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05794597879840006165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6561869413186077787.post-82175373363584199192009-10-01T15:29:32.247-04:002009-10-01T15:29:32.247-04:00No surprise.No surprise.Michaelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6561869413186077787.post-17496567443796192992009-10-01T15:13:32.041-04:002009-10-01T15:13:32.041-04:00Very deserving winner, and my fave episode of the ...Very deserving winner, and my fave episode of the whole series.Karlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00243985139073108637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6561869413186077787.post-58548405773312855872009-10-01T13:03:59.632-04:002009-10-01T13:03:59.632-04:00So close!

Though I love OMWF dearly, I think Becoming pt2 is a deserving winner.<br /><br /><br />Thanks so much for doing this!Scarnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6561869413186077787.post-31991638878935331492009-10-01T10:52:45.594-04:002009-10-01T10:52:45.594-04:00Close one.

I'm ultra cool and exceedingly hip, with a Spock-like intelligence. I wouldn't expect regular Buffyfesters to understand my keen insights concerning what truly is the greatest Buffy episode of all-time, let alone vote for my preference. Becoming, Part Deux is okay, and I won't be a poor sport (even though it's not really worthy of the title), so congrats to Becoming, Part Deux. Really enjoyed this tournament, despite the fact my ep went down in flames (you wouldn't understand-this type of Buffy logic is reserved for jeenyuses, like me)....Darth Dalton-Would You Like To See My Lightsaber?noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6561869413186077787.post-80202879427574215472009-10-01T02:43:32.240-04:002009-10-01T02:43:32.240-04:00It took me so much to think about this final vote,...It took me so much to think about this final vote, that I finally forgot to cast it.. <br />Such great episodes.. I'm happy with the winner (not that I wouldn't have been just as happy if OMWF won, anyway..).. I re-watched it recently, and I remember thinking how Becoming II had everything..contained every single element that was, and was going to be Buffy..How great is Angelus, we all know.. How great is Buffy's sacrifice, and how heart breaking the ending of the episode is, we all know.. But there's more to it.. There's Buffy becoming aware of herself..There's Angelus becoming Angel.. There's Willow becoming powerful... There's Spike becoming an unlikely ally.. There's Joyce becoming aware of Buffy's fate...oh and so much more.. This episode is roots to the show..<br />So, well deserved victory, yay Becoming part II!Giohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00308478381956667969noreply@blogger.com
