Buffy’s seven seasons had more heartrending moments than stakes at a Slayers convention, but here are 25 of the most heart-ripping, sob-inducing, gasp-worthy moments. SPOILERS ABOUND, so proceed with caution.
Even Mean Girl Harmony clapped as Jonathan (played by Emmy and Academy Award winner Danny Strong) presented Buffy with a parasol, showing Buffy her peers did appreciate her. (Season 3, Episode 20, “Prom”)

This is creator Joss Whedon’s favorite episode. (Season 2, Episode 14, “Innocence”)

Repeating the cruelty that drove a then-human Drusilla to madness, Angelus murders Jenny and leaves her body as the centerpiece of a “romantic” tableau for Giles. Giles goes all Ripper on Angelus, Buffy saving him before Angelus can also kill Giles. (Season 2, Episode 17, “Passion”)
Kendra, activated as Slayer the first time Buffy died, was a loyal and fierce friend of the Scoobies, but was no match for Dru’s paralyzing mind games and razor-sharp fingernails. (Season 2, Episode 21, "Becoming, Part 1")

According to leading high school football recruiting websites ESPN.com and Rivals.com, Jabrill Peppers is the No.2 football player in the country. He has committed to the University of Michigan and is expected to become an elite game-changing cornerback in Ann Arbor.

The Paramus Catholic senior is one of the most explosive players in the country on both the offensive and defensive side of the football, while using his freakish combination of speed and strength to demoralize most of the state of New Jersey.
If you hurt one of our favorite characters, we will come after you.
There are many reasons we hate characters. Some of them are manipulative, some of them are obnoxious, and some just mess with characters we love. Shana is less horrible and more annoying — she’s kind of predatory, and almost definitely evil, but she doesn’t even get enough screen time to fill us with hate. Still, her definite sinister-ness gets her a place on this list. (What is she doing with Jenna? Mona? Why is she so secretive!) Plus, she hit on both Paige and Emily while they were dating.

On Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. , Brett Dalton plays no-nonsense Agent Grant Ward. He sat down with BuzzFeed to talk about Ward’s softer side, Agent Coulson’s mysterious return, and what Nathan Fillion told him about joining the Whedonverse.
So far, we've seen Agent Grant Ward do a lot of scowling, but Dalton insists his character has a great sense of humor. "He is a very, on the surface, serious, straight-laced, razor’s edge kind of a guy. He’s the kind of guy who makes his bed every morning and it’s military crisp, and has a Spartan-like living situation that’s perfectly clean," Dalton said, before suggesting we look deeper into Ward. "I always thought he was funny and I never saw him as serious, and I never played him as serious. I saw the humor in it from the very beginning."

"I think he’s learning to trust in the team more and other people more, and that’s a big step," Dalton said of Ward moving toward being a little less of an island.
Justin Lubin / ABC
"There are a couple of episodes that emphasize one character maybe a little more than others, and there’s one coming up that emphasizes Ward," Dalton teased. "You get to know a little bit more about his past." As it turns out, that serious demeanor isn't something Ward was born with. "He’s not the way he is for nothing," Dalton continued. "He is that straight laced and buttoned up because his life has led him to that point."
Justin Lubin / ABC
"None of the action was involved in the audition, and so, I think they just kind of assumed that I could do it all, and they still assume that I can do it all," Dalton said. "And I just don’t want to say no. They keep writing in this really cool and crazy stuff for me to do, and I just keep saying, 'Yeah, sure, I can do that.'" Fingers crossed!

Endora is no eviler than your average mother-in-law, but she has magic powers that make her a scarier adversary than the rest. While she torments Darrin endlessly, she's really only looking out for her daughter.

Although Tabitha is a villain, she's a villain on a soap opera, where all characters are a little bit evil when the plot calls for it. Besides, she had a rough childhood, so we can excuse some of the not-so-nice things she does later in life.
NBC
Faye is actually one of the good witches, but she's never really good. She has very little respect for authority and often uses her powers to her own advantage, which frankly makes her way cooler than the rest of her circle.

Amy is a magic addict, and who can really blame her? This is a woman whose mom once switched bodies with her against her will, and who was later turned into a rat. That doesn't excuse her for being a terrible influence on Willow, though.

Think you spy a familiar face lurking in the background of a “Buffy The Vampire Slayer” episode? That’s probably because you do. More than a few future stars grace the Buffyverse.
One of award-winner Amy Adams' first roles was as Tara's brainwashed Fundiesque cousin Beth in "Family" (Season 5, Episode 6).
Actress-singer Ashanti was yet another one of Xander's bad dates as the demon Lissa in "First Date" (Season 7, Episode 14).
Star of "Band of Brothers" and "Once Upon A Time," Bailey appeared as Kyle in "The Pack" (Season 1, Episode 6).
Best known for stints on "Six Feet Under," "24," and "Haven," Eric Balfour was Xander's ill-fated buddy Jesse in "Welcome to the Hellmouth" (Season 1, Episode 1).
He’s basically a blueprint for great parenting.

Buffy takes on Frankenstein, and the results aren't pretty. The basic concept — a high school kid building the perfect girlfriend for his dead brother — is creepy enough. The execution, on the other hand, is scary in the bad way. One bright spot: Angel is jealous of Xander, and it's absurd.

All the major and semi-major and small-but-still-made-a-semi-major-impact characters from Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel , ranked in reverse order of excellence. This is going to be controversial!
20th Television / Photo illustration by Justine Zwiebel for BuzzFeed
Residing in a shared creative landscape referred to by fans as the Buffyverse, Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel spawned dozens of richly drawn, deeply moving, totally hilarious characters from the 1997 Buffy premiere to the 2004 Angel finale. To celebrate these characters — even the ones I'd just as soon never see again — I've ranked them from worst to best.
Criteria: To be included on this list, a character has to have a name, appear on Buffy and/or Angel for at least three episodes, and meaningfully participate either in the episodes' plot or in a larger, season-long storyline. (Sorry random teacher or Wolfram & Hart flunky!) When it made sense, I grouped some characters, and there are also a handful of special exceptions for standout characters in just one or two episodes who have significant arcs of their own. Also, for the persnickety, since an actor's performance plays a definite role in the success or failure of a character in these rankings, I did not factor in the post-finale comic books.
A bias: I'm more of a Buffy person than an Angel person, but my editor in this endeavor is die-hard Angel fan Shani Hilton, and she successfully argued the case for several Angel characters. (Also: I really do like Angel very much!)

This potential slayer is a self-admitted "brat," but that doesn't even come close to describing her profoundly obnoxious presence in Buffy's final season. Her aggressive pursuit of Willow makes me question Willow's fundamental romantic taste — Oz and Tara make total sense for Willow, but this self-important rich girl feels all wrong for her (and not in a deliberate, Whedon-y way). She also comes off like such a clear ploy to keep Willow's lesbianism alive — and outraged fans happy — after Tara's death, that the character is that much more infuriating for being so unmistakably unlikable. And not to put too fine a point on it, but the acting here does not help the character's case at all. Put it this way: Season 7 of Buffy is arguably the worst season in the Buffyverse, and Kennedy is a major reason why.

The worst "villain" in the Buffyverse is barely a villain at all. He's just a not-even-that-creepy kid whose lines are pretty much all overdubbed, until he and the rest of us are put out of our misery with the arrival of Spike and Drusilla.

Dichen Lachman, Fran Kranz, Miracle Laurie, and Enver Gjokaj explain how Fox’s short-lived Dollhouse — and Joss Whedon — made their new movie, Lust for Love , possible.
BuzzFeed/Jarett Wieselman
Dollhouse, Joss Whedon's dark sci-fi drama, revolved around a black-market organization that rented programmable people — dubbed "Actives" — out to wealthy clients for "engagements" that ranged from sexual and illicit to dangerous and illegal.
Like many a Whedon series, Dollhouse was far from a ratings hit (the series premiere drew 4.72 million viewers and was the highest-rated episode ever) and was canceled by Fox in 2010, after 26 episodes. But in a turn of events that's fitting for a show about characters who are endlessly reborn, Dollhouse has found a second life on DVD and Netflix.
Cancellation was also unable to erase the bonds formed by the cast and crew, with many subsequent Whedonverse collaborations rising from Dollhouse's ashes. The latest is Lust for Love, a new romantic comedy available today in theaters and on VOD, which stars Fran Kranz, Miracle Laurie, Enver Gjokaj, and Dichen Lachman, who also co-produced. The film follows the hopelessly romantic but endlessly misguided Astor (played by Kranz) as he searches for love in Los Angeles.
At Lust for Love's Los Angeles premiere, BuzzFeed brought the four together backstage in the green room to talk about the fan-backed film, look back on the biggest lessons learned from Dollhouse's demise, and reflect upon life in Joss Whedon's ever-expanding troupe.

Was the plan to always cast the film with Dollhouse alums?
Dichen Lachman: Yes. I wanted to work with friends because we're still so close. It just became about shuffling the parts around to fit everyone's schedule because, obviously, these guys didn't get rich doing this movie.
Miracle Laurie: What? I didn't? (laughs)
Dichen: So it was about working with people's schedules and finding the right role in the right time.
When Dichen called, was there a discussion about your roles, or did you simply ask, "When do you need me?"
Miracle: "When do you need me?"
Fran Kranz: To me, it felt like an opportunity to get the gang back together and have fun while also creating something amazing in the process. And I was promised I'd get to kiss multiple beautiful girls, which I did.
Enver Gjokaj: As an actor, you're so powerless. You're always waiting for someone to say you get to do something, so it's amazing when we can be the ones to create the opportunity to work with each other again. This was the perfect opportunity. But for Dichen and Anton [King, director], I'd be the guy wearing a silly mustache saying, (mimics Italian accent) "Sorry, wrong room!"
Miracle: That's a really bad Italian accent. (laughs) You sound like Mario.
Enver: (laughs) What I'm saying is, I'd have done whatever they wanted.
Miracle: Enver is right. You are blessed enough to be on a TV show for a couple of years, and that opens a lot of doors — but then not so many. And you have no idea what this business is going to turn into for you, what opportunities you'll be afforded, and what power you'll have ... which is none. I think it was wonderful of Dichen and Anton to create this happy pocket to dive back into after the show.
There seem to be two acting "troupes" currently thriving in Hollywood: Ryan Murphy's (Nip/Tuck, Glee, and American Horror Story) and Joss Whedon's. Why do you think graduates from the Joss Whedon school have become so omnipresent?
Enver: I think he has an amazing ability to pick really talented and really cool people — I haven't met a single person he's ever worked with who I think is an asshole. And what happens when you're in that group is you start meeting other people he's hired and you realize they're awesome too. He's so creative and he's so talented, it's almost like Joss leaves creativity in his wake.
Miracle: That's so true. I've met people at conventions from Buffy, and now I'm honestly good buddies with Nicholas Brendon, who I loved as Xander, because I actually watched Buffy. And that happens all the time. You just connect with these people who have been on the same journey because, I think, the community of actors and writers in the Whedonverse are very specific kind of people. I think we all know how lucky we are, I think we like to celebrate that and now have one another's back in a very bizarre way.
Dichen, do you think Lust for Love would have been able to meet its Kickstarter goals if it wasn't for the Dollhouse connection?
Dichen: Absolutely not. This movie would have never been made if we hadn't had the opportunity to work on the show with someone like Joss.
Miracle: The proof of the Whedonverse's power is in the Kickstarter. The fans were like, "My Dollhouse people back together? Yes, please!" (laughs)
Now 36, the former teen star continues to make bold career choices without shying away from his Dawson’s Creek past.

James Van Der Beek isn't the most casually dressed person at Soho House, a members-only club in West Hollywood, but he's still more dressed down than you'd expect given his surroundings and the fact that, on a quiet Monday afternoon, he's the biggest name in the place.
On the whole, there's little to suggest that Van Der Beek spent six years as one of the biggest stars on television. He's amiable and down-to-earth, smiling consistently as he sips his iced tea. When your most notable acting roles are an impossibly sincere teenager and an exaggerated version of yourself, maintaining a good sense of humor and humility comes with the territory.
Which is not to say that James Van Der Beek doesn't take his work seriously. On the contrary, he's fully committed to his craft. But Van Der Beek, who stars on the upcoming CBS sitcom Friends With Better Lives, has come a long way since he played softhearted Dawson Leery on the WB's iconic teen drama Dawson's Creek from 1998 until 2003. And that meant learning to stay grounded and keep his ego in check.
"I think probably in my younger days I was a little put off by having to prove myself, but now it's just part of the game," he says. "Part of being a working actor is having to prove yourself every day, every project, every scene, every season. It is what it is. And I've come to accept it, and enjoy it, and enjoy the challenge, and enjoy auditioning."
Now 36, Van Der Beek is a more developed actor than ever before, displaying his range as he moves between sitcoms and serious dramas, like Jason Reitman's Labor Day, released in January. And while no longer a teen heartthrob, Van Der Beek hasn't lost his good looks, maturing from Tiger Beat cute to movie star handsome.
But Van Der Beek is less interested in being a star these days: The more opportunities he gets, the more he realizes he's drawn to strong characters over big roles.
"The size of the role matters almost none to me, as long as there's something to it that I feel like I can grab on to," he says. "I can totally take three great scenes, two great scenes, one great scene in a great movie … I had an agent who called me a 'character actor trapped in a leading man's body,' which to me was the highest compliment of all, because those are the guys I love watching."
Options aren't something Van Der Beek always thought he would have. When he signed on to Don't Trust the B–––– in Apartment 23 in 2011, there was concern that playing a parody of James Van Der Beek could prove limiting. Where do you go after playing yourself?
"In a weird way, it's almost like the playing field is wide open after you do that," Van Der Beek says. "I remember some of the conventional wisdom at the time when I was offered the opportunity was a question of 'Will people be able to take you seriously in serious roles? Is this going to take anything away?' In fact, it did the exact opposite. It actually opened the door to a whole lot more."

Before James Van Der Beek was James Van Der Beek on Don't Trust the B––––, he was Dawson Leery on Dawson's Creek. Along with Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Felicity, Dawson's Creek defined the WB as the premier network for smart, sensitive teens. It helped that Dawson was a soulful aspiring filmmaker, wise beyond his years. As played by Van Der Beek, Dawson was iconic for his good nature and unwavering sincerity.
"At the very core of this, we had to find someone who was the leading man of our show, the man around which all of these characters rotate," recalls Paul Stupin, the Dawson's Creek executive producer who approached Kevin Williamson to write the series' pilot. "He had to have a star quality and a real sense of presence. And he also had to combine that with a sense of emotion, a sense of passion, a sense of intellectuality."
To some extent, that perfectly describes Van Der Beek. Dawson's relentless earnestness, however, was a bit much.
"Dawson's sweet, but he's the kind of guy I'd find myself making excuses to not hang out with," he admits, echoing an earlier statement he made to Paper Magazine that stirred up some tabloid controversy.
Van Der Beek isn't being cruel, just honest. But despite their differences, Van Der Beek has long been linked with the character he played for six years. While he was aware of the challenges of being typecast before he joined Dawson's Creek, he wasn't prepared for Dawson's long-lasting influence.
"There was a time when it was frustrating because I always felt very capable of things that had nothing to do with that," Van Der Beek says. "I never felt like I would be trapped or only be able to do that type of character. It seemed so odd to me."
It wasn't just the character of Dawson but that he was so omnipresent, a clear symbol — like Buffy's Sarah Michelle Gellar and Felicity's Keri Russell — of teen drama's potential.
"It did hold me back," Van Der Beek continues. "'He's so recognizable, is he gonna pull us out of this more serious movie?' And I know that's come up from time to time. When I've gotten opportunities, that has not been the case, so then you think, All right, are we past this now? Are we over it? But at the end of the day, it just makes you work that much harder."
No power in the ‘verse can guarantee you’ll get Buffy.
Don’t forget to tweet using the hashtag #SheIsTheSlayer
It's almost impossible to watch a TV show these days without seeing an intrusive hashtag pop up on screen, telling you exactly what to tweet as you watch. Back when Buffy the Vampire Slayer aired, Twitter didn't even exist, so we were spared suggested hashtag interruptions. But what if The WB or UPN had somehow had the foresight to include hashtags?

During a Reddit AMA , Sarah Michelle Gellar put an end to the immortal question: Angel or Spike?
Warner Bros.
Warner Bros.
While Buffy went back and forth between Angel and Spike throughout the seven-season run of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Sarah Michelle Gellar made her choice known during a Reddit AMA on Feb. 27.
A user named WilliamTheBloody3 asked (and probably regretted later, judging from the moniker), "Spike or Angel?"
Gellar replied, in all caps, "ANGEL."
Understandably, that kicked off a swirling storm of insanity in the comments, and a little while later a user named Defeasiblefee re-asked the inciting question, maybe hoping that Gellar had misunderstood: "Settle a debate going on over at r/buffy right now. Angel or Spike?"
"Still Angel," Gellar replied.
Gellar appeared to drive a final stake through Spike fans' hearts when she was asked, "How did David Boreanaz smell?" by user Zoidberg3000. Gellar's response: "I can say that David honestly smells very good and continues to smell very good. I apologize to Jamie his wife for answering that question." So looks like the debate is settled, then.
Oh, who are we kidding, this debate will rage on forever!
The earth is doomed.
