Episodes

1.Welcome to the hellmouth.
Its buffy's first day at Sunnydale high school. Eager for a new start she is disappointed to find out that the school librarian knows more about her than she cares for. The dead body found in the locker room leads buffy to think that the culprit is a vampire.

I enjoyed this episode, it shows the the combination of a teenage girls struggle to fit in mixed with the added supernatural reasonability of being a slayer. Darla the first vampire we see is quite creepy looking thanks to the excellent makeup skills.

2.The harvest.
There is bad news at the bronze. Luke , a vampire the master chose, a vessel needs to eat as many people as he can to free the master from his prison underneath the city.

I enjoyed this episode, the vampire Luke with a combination of his size and facial make up makes him look quite scary. I liked the part where while looking for Willow buffy almost stakes Cordelia which was funny.

3. The witch
It's cheerleading tryouts at school and buffy decides to try for the team. But everyone who makes it has something bad happen to them..... watch and find out.

This is a really funny episode. I loved it when buffy was affected she was extremely funny especially when she was in cheerleading practice. And I like her version of " macho macho man I wanna be a macho man" ( I believe that is how it goes).

4.Teachers pet.
There is a new sexy teacher in Sunnydale highs science department. Natalie French young, beautiful but with a deadly secret.

Awwww they killed the only teacher that ever believed in buffy. The funny bit of the episode is when buffy didn't do her homework and willow tries to help her out by sniffing Xander and buffy comes out with an answer B.O. Haha funny.

5.Never kill a boy on the first date.
Being a slayer can really mess with a teenage girls desires as buffys attraction to fellow student Owen conflicts with her slaying duties.

I liked this episode there are not really any funny moments. Though I gotta say I felt a bit of sympathy towards Buffy when she finds out the only reason that Owen wants to keep dating her is because he is attracted to the danger.

6. The pack.
After a school trip to the zoo Xander starts to act strangely and alienates Buffy and Willow.

I loved the the new mascot the scary razorback pig. It was so cute until it sadly got eaten I was sadder about that than principal Fluties untimely demise.

7.Angel.
Buffy is attacked by assassins sent by the master but is rescued by Angel. They run to her house, to safety and end up sharing a romantic kiss then Buffy finds out Angels secret.

Ohhh angels secret is out yet buffy stills cares for him. Though Buffys mum going into hospital was quite sad.

8.I robot... You Jane.
Willow meets a guy online but he isnt as perfect as he seems. Especially when he tries to kill Buffy.

I think that this episode has a good msg attached to it becareful when you meet someone online as they might not be as they seem.

9. The puppet show.
It's time for the talent show at Sunnydale high but someone or something has decided its a good time to start killing.

I love the horny puppet routine it was hilarious. Also the end with the gang doing their parts on stage.

10. Nightmares.
Suddenly the town of Sunnydale is in terrible danger as peoples nightmares come alive.

Okay many great points to this episode but if I had to pick one or two it would be Xanders nightmares, the being naked in public and the clown nightmare haha very funny.

11. Out of mind..... out of sight.
A girl feels ignored at school and turns invisable and decides to turn the invisability to her adavantage as she gets revenge on the schools popular crowd.

12. Prophecy girl.
Its time the master is about to rise. Buffy freaks out when she finds out that she is prophesised to die.
Poor Buffy what teenage girl likes to hear that she is about to die! This is a great end to a great sereies. I love that everyone keeps commenting on her pretty dress which really was pretty.

For me Alyson Hannigan is the outstanding actress as she embodys the role of geeky teen perfectly even though she is the oldest "teen" there. I think my favourite episodes are The Pack and Nightmares. My least favorite episode is teachers pet I don't hate it but I think that the other epsiodes are better.
