   -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
