Big Moments
Here's a list of the five most memorable moments on Buffy The Vampire Slayer. I'm not reading it because I've never watched the show. However, for a while now I've been thinking of creating a similar list for Lost. Actually, mine would be the biggest moment each season. Seasons 1 through 3 are easy, but I'm not so sure what I'd pick for the two latest.
Anyway, I've got plenty of time to think about it, since I've decided to wait until the show is over. So check back in about a year.

I look forward to your list!
And if you do watch Buffy someday (which of course I recommend, although Firefly would be easier since it's much shorter), no need to bookmark this lady's list of five great scenes.
All of her scenes are taken from a single year of the show -- which proves she doesn't get the concept. And two of her five wouldn't even be on my Top 100 list -- which proves she's wrong. (*grin*)
I would heartily recommend both Buffy and Angel (and Firefly) to anyone interested in quality television.
LK, I completely agree with your post - I could find a top list of Buffy moments for each season of the show and find it extremely difficult to whittle them down to just five for the series - with a minor quibble: the scenes she chose are not all from season six. Moments 2 and 5 are from seasons five and seven, respectively. Granted, moment 2 was replayed in the opening episode of season six but but I wouldn't count that.
You are quite correct. I knew she included the end of season five (so I used the term "from a single year" rather than "a single season", figuring it could include that), but I didn't read her # 5 carefully and didn't realize what it was.
By the way, I thought her # 1 was actually a fairly gross scene, exceeded by the ones they did in the deliberate proximity of her friends. FWIW, Sarah Michelle Gellar agreed that these were utterly out of character.
I'm one of the few that really liked both seasons five and six. Even so, I see season six in the full Buffy arc as comparable to the interval in a symphony when the violins start keeping rhythm while the melody moves to the bass. Similarly, in season six the humor was taken over by the villains and the darkness transferred to the main chracters. It was a powerful season, but its power was derived from the normal state of affairs shown from seasons one through season five. So I strongly disagree with those who feel that season six was head-and-shoulders above everything else -- and there are many of them!
