1. lesbian action. willow and tara? definately! but hotter is the girlfriend that willow had after tara died, one of the potentials. not only was SHE hot, she was definitely nastier than tara. and she kicked ass.
2. sex. alot of it. mostly implied, but you get lucky with a some scenes that border on the explicit...like when buffy and spike tore a whole house down while they were...um...being rough. grrr...arrrg
3. dialogue. no other show on tv has characters who talk like they do, but still, we all understand what they're saying, even though we would never have thought of saying it like the way they do. it's knee slapping, finger pointing, laugh out loud, "that is so right!" dialogue.
4. joss whedon. he is a god. enough said.
5. the demons and monsters. my favorite by far is clem. he looks like a sharpei to me, but at the same time, he kinda looks like a large pile of stretched out, chewed pink bubblegum. and the gentlemen! they gave me nightmares for weeks! it's because of them that i usually avoid looking outside a window at night. that episode was voted as the scariest episode of any show that year it was shown.
6. glory. by far the most creative character ever made as a god. she scared me.
7. the musical. for one thing, anthony head's voice is so damn good, it was only a matter of time before we heard it again since that episode in the 5th season when he sang "behind blue eyes". and another is that joss proved himself capable of bringing the show to ANY level. sure, most of them could barely carry a tune, but it was by far one of the greatest moments in television.
8. producers and directors as actors. the guy singing about mustard on his shirt in the musical? david fury. the brother of lorn doing the dance of joy (angel)? that was joss.
9. xander. he's the one with the biggest burden of all. never has there ever been a zeppo that was as important as xander. i miss him!
10. plot. more entanlged than a spanish soap. more intricate than a russian novel. as existential as a fellini film.
