fun! This makes me want to do a whole-show rewatch someday. I tend to just watch my favorite arcs and then get distracted but this whole show <3
Willow: I almost went with Grave because that's my favorite episode on the list, but a lot of that has to do with the arc as a whole, and with the gorgeous Buffy & Dawn stuff as well. Doppelgangland is my go-to for Willowy goodness.
Innocence wins for Angel, because I'll never get over how much of a BOOM, BIG BAD moment that was for me. FFL wins for Spike because LOL WHAT BIG BAD.
Riley: I'm not sure Out of My Mind is his finest hour as a person, but it's definitely the episode where I feel for him the most, as he's clinging to his identity and purpose tighter and tighter as it crumbles.
Faith: I think I like Bad Girls/Consequences better as an overall episode, but more for Wes-related reasons. (Those reasons being: OMG IT'S WESLEY. Mine is a profound and inscrutable intellect.) Focusing on Faith, though, those S4 episodes and the follow-up on Angel are some of the best storytelling the show ever did.
