"Once More, With Feeling" - Buffy the Vampire Slayer, S6E7

in response to Lyla

Favorite episodes of tv?? Give me the SPECIFIC EPISODE PLEASE. Looking to be inspired.

Both the hands-down greatest musical episode of all time and one of the flat-out best TV episodes, period; the songs advance each and every character arc masterfully, the Easter eggs are weird and delightful, you can discover new things on a twentieth viewing, this reason's mostly filler.

"The Body" (S5E16) and "Hush" (S4E10) are up there as well, for very different reasons.

The sheer number of hits. Going Through the Motions (truest depiction of depression ever written), Under Your Spell (lesbian anthem but also conflict?!), Walk Through the Fire (to hit the emotional climax of the season in song form???)…I could go on

I DON'T EVEN LIKE MUSICALS! And it works for people who love, love, love musicals AND Spuffies like me! Buffy's reveal in Something to Sing About! I am truly never not in the mood to watch it again.

Ugh season 6 is tough for me because of Willow arc but I’m gonna need to watch it again. Although this is the terrible moment where I admit I am more of an Angel girl, which is not by choice, I just watched the early seasons at a formative age (like 10 lol)

Related: "Smile Time" (Angel S5E14), when Angel turns into a Muppet, still makes me laugh every time I think about it.
