My Top 10 Episodes of Buffy the Vampire Slayer
|
|
|
I was introduced to the world of Buffy the Vampire Slayer by the Board Game of the same name, and not the television show. Oddly enough, this was even before I was much of a Board Game Geek. Several friends and I had just wrapped up a session of a Marvel Heroes RPG (which we still haven't finished to this day!) and we were invited to stay and play some boardgames. First we played Fury of Dracula. (The original - at that point there was no reprint) Which was great. Then our host pulled out Buffy the Vampire Slayer (US). Our host stood strong under a few minutes of intense mockery and insisted that we give it a shot. Of the four of us playing, only she had played it before, or even watched an episode of the show. We played it three times. She sent my roommate and I home with the first season. Early the next morning we knocked on her door, begging for season two. Over the next two years, my roommate and I watched every single episode of Buffy's seven season run, as well as all five seasons of Angel and the sole season of Firefly.But Buffy will always be my favourite of Joss Whedon's creations. Without further ado: My Top Ten Episodes of Buffy the Vampire Slayer Note: Episode text from http://www.buffyguide.comAnother Note: I can't reccomend the board game enough - Just don't play the UK version. It's not at all the same game and not worth spitting on. The US version is really fun.

...well, I don't know what I would have done, but I'm glad to see my all-time favorite BtVS episode made the cut.
