My Favorite Buffy the Vampire Slayer Episodes

by arsenal_emil_valencia | created - 05 May 2022 | updated - 05 May 2022 | Public

Considering that "Once More With Feeling" is one of the highest rated episode and undoubtably my least favorite of the entire show, I think it's safe to say that I'm not the target audience for this show. Nevertheless I love Buffy the Vampire Slayer. These are my favorite episodes.
