They will play a marathon of his picks on LOGO May 19.
Joss Whedon’s Buffy Top 10*
“Prophecy Girl” (112)
Buffy proved herself beyond doubt in the season 1 finale when she closed the Hellmouth and dispatched the dreaded Master.
“Innocence” (214)
Just say no, kids. To sex with your vampire boyfriend. Buffy’s decision to give it up unlocked the evil in Angel and kick-started an amazing half of season 2…
“Becoming Part II” (222)
…that was capped off by this (literally) soul-destroying episode in which Buffy sent Angel to Hell. As he was sucked into the void, Willow’s spell restored his humanity, but it was too late. The Slayer fled Sunnydale to the strains of “Full of Grace,” and so began the onslaught of Sarah McLachlan weepers that continue to haunt us via sad puppy eyes to this day. (Heightened the next hour when “Angel” played during Dawson’s Creek‘s season 1 finale. Epic.)
“The Wish” (309)
The first appearance of Anya! And as a slutty, psychotic Willow! After seeing Xander and Willow kiss the episode before, Cordelia wishes Buffy had never come to Sunnydale. Obviously, this was a terrible, terrible idea.
“Doppelgangland” (316)
Obviously Whedon has a thing for vampy Willow. He wrote this episode specifically for her.
“Hush” (410)
The only one of Buffy’s eps to be nominated for a writing Emmy. And it featured barely a single word of dialogue. What did it have? Heart-snatching, voice-snatching ghouls called The Gentlemen and proof that the Scoobies didn’t need their snappy repartee to get down to business (though we were more than happy to have it back the next week).
“Restless” (422)
Whedon’s more experimental episodes, the season 4 finale skimped on the slaying in favor of surreality. Each of the main characters traveled through a dreamlike state that hinted at what was in store for season 5, most notably the introduction of Buffy’s suddenly-there sister Dawn.
“The Body” (516)
You’d think Buffy would be desensitized to death. Then it struck home. The shocking, non-violent death of Joyce Summer hit Buffy harder than anything else on the series. Paralyzed, she crumpled into a ball on the floor of their home. Heartbreaking.
“Once More With Feeling” (607)
I’ve got a theory, it was the bunnies that made this one of Whedon’s faves.
“Conversations with Dead People” (707)
Buffy, Dawn, and Willow are all visited by ghosts from their pasts… or are they? This real-time episode was a series first and got to the heart of Buffy’s deeply conflicted psychology in the final season.

These are great but I’d have to put in The Gift, Tabula Rasa, Graduation Day, Smashed, Something Blue. Yeah - can’t pick just 10. And clearly I ship Spuffy.

Mystery Regency Camel Toe! Can you guess the actor and movie?
(In the dark and scary world of Jane Austen Fan Fiction, from whence I come, the above is known as Bunchage. This Mystery Bunchage is part of an April Anatomy Appreciation game I’m doing over at A Happy Assembly. I may start cross-posting some of the others I have.)
ANATOMY APPRECIATION GAME?!?!?
All I need to find out is if #1 is Edward Ferrars from the 2008 Sense and Sensibility…help a sista out. Anyone agree with me?
I’ll post the uncropped photos tomorrow and all your burning questions will be answered.
