Top 10 Episodes of Buffy The Vampire Slayer

1. Chosen (7×22)

As I said earlier, this and “The Gift” would be a tie for first place.  Where “The Gift” only works as a finale at the end of Season 5, “Chosen” is a great finale for any season.  It’s a fun ride watching this show and I am glad that the show ended like this even if Season 7 wasn’t as strong as Season 5.  The moment when all of the potentials turn into slayers is very powerful, as is the moment when Buffy realizes she isn’t alone.

My favorite moment comes when the core four (Buffy, Willow, Xander, and Giles) share a moment in the high school that mirrors the end of the pilot and you realize just how powerful their bond is at that moment, and also how much things have changed.  I have no gripes about this episode at all and feel that, for a show that midway through switched networks, couldn’t end any better.  There are several deaths, but Anya’s was the biggest shock for me.  Seeing Xander’s look when he finds out adds depth to that doomed relationship that you rarely got to see.  For fans who want to read season 8 in comic bood form go ahead, but for me, this is the end of Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
