Buffy - the episodes I did not like Poll...

[shadowkat]

This was the result of post about Spiral...a lot of people said they loved Spiral, when I remember a lot of people hating it. So here's a poll of Buffy episodes you liked or hated.
You tell me. No fighting folks. This is all highly subjective. Plus, I'm under stress. If you annoy me, I have claws. But friendly banter and discussion is encouraged.

[Poll #1846742]

PS: IF your answer isn't there, just hit ambivalent or comment. It's impossible to figure out all the possible answers when you do polls. Thanks for taking it!

People hate "Family"?

And I still maintain that "Doomed" is the worst episode of the whole series.

I never rewatch The Body. Once was enough. I know it always wins "favorite" polls and I don't get it. And I think it encourages Joss in his obsession with killing beloved characters.
The rest of the episodes I hate, I tend to re-watch with my finger on the skip button because there are excellent scenes in each. For example I love all the Anya/Spike stuff in Where the Wild things are.
I just finished watching Spiral and although I enjoy it, there really is no logical explanation for the Knights who say Key. None we are given anyway. Maybe if they just popped up out of a different non technological dimension, or have been in stasis somewhere but we got nothing.
One of the episodes that always makes me insane is End of Days. The rage I feel in parts of that still flares up in the rare times when I see it.

Aw, I kind of like "Doomed," if only for Spike stirring up shit amongst the Scoobies and then finding out he can hurt demons. And then his last scene. "Let's kill something! Oh, come on!" Heeeeeee.

Apparently just me, so far. ;-) In a phrase? "Cliche Red-neck Evil Woman-Hating Family From a Bad 1970s horror flick". Whedon annoys me when he gets didatic, obvious and preachy. I disliked Caleb for the same reasons.

It does much like Doomed, admittedly have its good sections, all centered on Spike. The best thing about Doomed? Spike. The best thing about Family? Spike.
The Tara/Willow stuff is sweet, but Tara's family ...ugh.
