Guest Brian Posted September 27, 2004 Report Posted September 27, 2004 Hush (4.10) 11 Not Fade Away* (5.22) 11 The Gift (5.22) Passion (2.17)
RavishingRickRudo Posted September 27, 2004 Report Posted September 27, 2004 Not Fade Away - The best Angel episode without a doubt in my mind. Hush didn't have the gravity that this episode had. This felt like a movie, it -much like The Gift- felt like everything was coming together and you had this grand sense of anticipation. Thinking about it right now makes me want to watch it so bad. Greater emotional strength than Hush, greater performances both as a group and individually. Hush had the funnier moment with Giles and the overheads, but NFA was much more well rounded. It was a full course meal, leaving me incredibly satisfied in the end. The best series finale I've ever seen. The Gift - One of my favourite Buffy episodes, if not my absolute favourite. Brilliant in execution and resolution, each character got to shine and really peaked here. Anya coming through suggesting ideas, Xander making his proposal, Willow "finding" Tara, Dawn preparing for death, Spike saying he'd die protecting Dawn for Buffy, Giles killing Ben, Buffy sacrificing herself and her touching speech at the end. Numerous memorable moments, with the one that truly stands out is Giles shocking murder of Ben "...Not like us." "us?". I love that. Its one of my favourite scenes ever (as is Wesley and Illyria). Both of these episodes make me weep that Firefly never made it to their 5th season.

Mole Posted September 27, 2004 Report Posted September 27, 2004 Awww, only one of these episodes is in my top ten. Not Fade Away* (5.22) 11 Passion (2.17)
AnonymousBroccoli Posted September 27, 2004 Report Posted September 27, 2004 I would've liked to see a season finale for Firefly, let alone a fifth. Not Fade Away* (5.22) The Gift (5.22)
BlackFlagg Posted September 27, 2004 Report Posted September 27, 2004 Not Fade Away* (5.22) Passion (2.17)
Anya Posted September 27, 2004 Report Posted September 27, 2004 NFA and Gift. Rudo is right about all. The ONLY thing wrong with NFA is that we barely see the fighting. Hamilton/Angel is ok(besides the dumb ending) but with like Spike and Lorne's fight we see nothing. I want to see more of Gunn's!
RavishingRickRudo Posted September 27, 2004 Report Posted September 27, 2004 I wanted to see Illyria fuck-shit-up, but that's the extent of my wrongness. I love the "Guess which word you shouldn't have said" line.
Youth N Asia Posted September 27, 2004 Report Posted September 27, 2004 Not Fade Away* (5.22) 11 Passion (2.17) I don't care for the Gift near as much as everyone else. I think it has to do with never caring for the Dawn character. Passion owns all
RavishingRickRudo Posted September 27, 2004 Report Posted September 27, 2004 You will pay for that YnA. Pay for it DEARLY.
Youth N Asia Posted September 27, 2004 Report Posted September 27, 2004 I edited my post to sound less graphic... Passion > The Gift
RavishingRickRudo Posted September 27, 2004 Report Posted September 27, 2004 I challenge you to... WHEDONDOME!!!!!! TWO EPISODES ENTER! ONE EPISODE LEAVES! TWO EPISODES ENTER! ONE EPISODE LEAVES!
Guest Brian Posted September 27, 2004 Report Posted September 27, 2004 Not Fade Away The Gift Did Passion win the Buffy tournament?
Ravenbomb Posted September 27, 2004 Report Posted September 27, 2004 Not Fade Away* (5.22) 11 The Gift (5.22)
RavishingRickRudo Posted September 27, 2004 Report Posted September 27, 2004 I think Passion did with the tournament - I think that was before The Gift campaigning.
Mole Posted September 27, 2004 Report Posted September 27, 2004 Yeah, I did that tourney during the summer of 2003, right before season 5 came out.
Tawren Posted September 27, 2004 Report Posted September 27, 2004 Not Fade Away* (5.22) 11 The Gift (5.22) Hush and Passion should not be there. Go 5 vs 5 finals finals.
Molotov The Bear Posted September 27, 2004 Report Posted September 27, 2004 Not Fade Away* (5.22) 11 The Gift (5.22)
Mole Posted September 28, 2004 Report Posted September 28, 2004 Hush and Passion should not be there. Go 5 vs 5 finals finals. Passion should be there, but not Hush.
Crowe Posted September 28, 2004 Report Posted September 28, 2004 Not Fade Away* (5.22) 11 The Gift (5.22) Mmm. This will be an interesting finale.
LaParkaYourCar Posted September 28, 2004 Report Posted September 28, 2004 Something just occured to me...why is this a "BUFFYverse Tourney"? Shouldn't it be a "Whedonverse Tourney"? There's a bias going on here!
RavishingRickRudo Posted September 28, 2004 Report Posted September 28, 2004 I agree. But an all Firefly finals isn't fair to the rest
Youth N Asia Posted September 28, 2004 Report Posted September 28, 2004 I still haven't gotten around to Firefly yet, so I wouldn't deprive myself of voting, thus I would not vote Firefly
RavishingRickRudo Posted September 28, 2004 Report Posted September 28, 2004 You'd vote for Firefly, or else.... ... I'd get the army of middle-aged white women that is Fireflys main fan base and DESTROY YOU.
Guest Brian Posted September 28, 2004 Report Posted September 28, 2004 Nor have I seen Firefly. I'm going to end this round tomorrow at midnight. I want to do a day of just debating over the two winners, without voting, in the big thread, and then start up the final round in there on Thursday at midnight until Sunday.
RavishingRickRudo Posted September 28, 2004 Report Posted September 28, 2004 I'm looking forward to the (hopefully) Not Fade Away vs. The Gift discussion. I could argue both sides pretty well, and just might
Guest Paulster Posted September 29, 2004 Report Posted September 29, 2004 Hush (4.10) 11 Not Fade Away* (5.22) The Gift (5.22) Passion (2.17) RavishingRickRudo summarized these episodes all but perfectly. This is also the quintessential finals for this type of tournament.
