I am starting off the Summer DVD Club with the pilot, “Welcome to the Hellmouth.” While it may not be one of the best episodes ever, it is the episode that started it all!
As I review my top favorites, I want you to give your Two Cents on yours. Also, what do you think were the worst episodes? After 7 seasons, it is impossible to only make great episodes. Leave your Two Cents on these two topics in my comments throughout the summer and we will see how we agree and disagree on our favorites and least favorites.
Can't wait to see which episodes you chose!
ReplyDeleteAs a huge Buffy fan, I'm really looking forward to this... and my least favorite episode? It's a toss-up between Bad Eggs and Where the Wild Things Are.
ReplyDeleteThanks ladies. Keep reading and make sure to leave your two cents about what I write and the episodes I choose!
