   e-vampire-slayer-episode-from-each-season.html/Some shows just stand the tests   
   of time, gaining new audiences all thetime,because the lessons and themes are   
   still relevant and so good.    
   BuffyThe Vampire Slayer is one of those beloved shows.It centers around a   
   teenaged girl, Buffy Summers, who is the Chosen One,picked to be the slayer of   
   demons and, of course, vampires. Through sevenseasons, Buffy and the Scooby   
   Gang worked to keep the    
   Hellmouth closed,creating great TV while they did it.Based on thousands of   
   reviews on IMDb,here are the best-rated episodes from each season. There are   
   spoilers below,so beware if you haven’t watched the show yet and want to be   
   surprised.Season 1: “   
   Prophecy Girl”8.9 rating.It’s no surprise that the finale is the   
   highest-rated episode in its firstseason. These 12 episodes were the first   
   attempt at this show for JossWhedon and the cast, after a flopped movie with   
   the same concept.It delivers on    
   showcasing how all the monsters represent typical teenagedproblems.“Prophecy   
   Girl” is definitely the episode with the most emotion,and the most at stake   
   in Season 1 considering Buffy was preparing to die.But she’s a slayer; it   
   takes more than one    
   try to kill her off. An excitingend to the premiere season.Season 2:   
   “Becoming: Part 2”9.6 rating.Buffy’s sophomore season was much more   
   dramatic and grew up quite a bit,even though she’s still in high school. Her   
   relationship with Angel    
   becomesmore intense, but so does he. After they sleep together for the first   
   time,he loses his soul thanks to the curse on him. He becomes the Big Bad, and   
   inthis finale, Buffy is forced to kill him. This final battle wins the   
   season,hands down.Season 3:    
   Tie!“Doppelgangland”9.3 rating.This episode confirms that alternate   
   universes and character sexist in Buffy’s world, and Willow and Anya   
   accidentally summon one to their Sunnydale. It’s no wonder this episode has   
   a high rating because of Alyson    
   Hannigan’sacting. She portrays an evil Willow so well, and “Bored Now”   
   is anythingbut. Plus the foreshadowing of Willow’s queerness is also a funny   
   moment tonotice when looking back. Luckily it’s not the last we see Evil   
   Willow.“Graduation    
   Day: Part 2”9.3 rating.It’s a tie for this season, with the final coming   
   in close to“Doppelgangland.” There’s a huge battle at graduation, the   
   Mayor isdefeated, and Faith is out for the count. Well, for now, but she’s   
   not gonefor good.Season    
   4: “Hush”9.7 rating.“Hush” is probably one of the best Buffy episodes   
   in all seven seasons, andis also one of Sarah Michelle Gellar’s favorites   
   too. There is virtually nodialogue, except for a little bit at the begging and   
   at the end. This    
   ispurely all on the actors’ faces and acting abilities that make this an   
   epicepisode. And they deliver! On both the hilarious bits, like in   
   theclassroom, and in the terrifying moments too. Plus, The Gentlemen could   
   giveanyone bad dreams even as an    
   adult.Season 5: “The Body”9.7 rating.This is probably the most   
   gut-wrenching episode in the whole series, andGellar’s acting is   
   award-worthy. Joyce Summers, Buffy’s mom,dies in thisepisode and while death   
   happens a lot on the Hellmouth, it’s a    
   lot differenthere. She has such a close relationship with Buffy, of course,so   
   instead ofseeing the fearless, confident warrior, audiences watch on as Buffy   
   fumblesthrough CPR and dealing with the EMTs. She’s vulnerable and helpless,   
   whichis almost as    
   horrifying as Joyce’s death.Season 6: “Once More, with Feeling”9.8   
   rating.Season 6 saw a lot of changes for the gang. Buffy died but then was   
   broughtback which leads to depression and lack of life for her. Her friends   
   andDawn are a little on edge    
   with her, and are growing in different directions.And Spike’s strong   
   feelings for Buffy are no longer hidden. This all comescolliding together in   
   the musical episode, which is made even better withthe original songs. No   
   wonder over 7,000 people scored    
   this episode so high.Season 7: “Chosen”9.3 rating.The last season is a   
   mixed bag for some fans, but it did deliver a reallygood final and conclusion.   
   Even though Buffy’s friends and potential slayersdisrespected her and tossed   
   her out of the house (   
   which got a lot of themkilled in the end), she rallied for them and became the   
   leader they neededto close the Hellmouth. It’s bittersweet, but it leaves   
   fans off on a goodnote with Buffy The Vampire Slayer.David
