I voted for Once More With Feeling too. Looks like most people did (there's a shock!)
JtB If someone gives you freedom it is not freedom, freedom is something you take for yourself.
No suprise about OMWF its a good episode but its so overatted.
Whistler"I wonder wonder why the wonder falls. I wonder why the wonder falls on me. I wonder wonder why the wonder falls, with everything I touch and hear and see."
It is obvious that OMWF is going to be popular because it is the stand out ep of a average season. Seasons 4, 5 and 6 each had a unique ep that makes them stand out so, by definition, will be remembered the most, usually fondly.
However, I thought both 'Tabula Rasa' and 'Seeing Red' were worthy of honourable mentions.
"Once More, With Feeling". The villian in that episode, the demon Sweet, had more charisma and malice in the taps of his shoes than the three geeks combined. It basically sums up where season six went so disasterously wrong by what it gets right. It's a blast from beginning to end, sends itself up fearlessly while incorporating real drama, and has genuine comedy. What came subsequently made the Keystone Cops look like Lenny Bruce.
And not forgetting, of course, the slew of great tunes packed with wickedly zany lyrics. It's one long pastiche of every Hollywood musical of the past few decades, and hits every note beautifully. And you get what you need for a true classic, a great payoff once the dancing is done. (Only ruined by the knowledge of what was to come.)
Buffy would never get this good again.

I have to say, my favourite S6 episode was Normal Again.
Of those to chose from I was torn between Tabula Rasa for the sheer fun of it, Seeing Red for it's in your face violence and OMWF for....well...do I need a reason?
FiveByFive I was being like, sarcastic, or whatever
voted for Life Serial, the troika were hilarious, and we got to see Buffy in her hard hat!
Although I also liked the one where Riley returned, can't remeber what it's called though.
