Each Buffy The Vampire Slayer Characters Best Performance?
Which episode was each Buffy The Vampire Slayer character's best acting?
Buffy Summers; ‘The Gift’, ‘The Weight of the World’, ‘The Body’, ‘Once More, With Feeling’, ‘The Prom’, ‘Prophecy Girl’, ‘Helpless’, and ‘Becoming Part 2’. It’s impossible to only choose one. Sarah Michelle Gellar out does herself constantly it feels like.
“Close your eyes.” -Buffy Summers, Season 2, Episode 22: ‘Becoming Part 2’.
Willow Rosenberg; ‘Wild at Heart’, ‘Grave’, ‘Wrecked’. She is really good at crying scenes. Honorable mention ‘The Body’.
“Well, I can't see Buffy at the morgue and be all royal! "Oh, I'm the king of everything, I'm better than you!" I have to be supportive, I, Buffy needs me to be supportive, I...God, why do all my shirts have such stupid things on them? Why can't I just dress like a grownup? Can't I be a grownup?” —Willow Rosenberg, Season 5, Episode 16: ‘The Body’.
Xander Harris; ‘Grave’, ‘The Zeppo’, and ‘Potential’; his speech to Dawn.
“The first day of kindergarten, you cried because you broke the yellow crayon and you were too afraid to tell anyone. You've come pretty far. Ending the world, not a terrific notion... But the thing is... yeah, I love you. I love crayon-breaky Willow and I love scary-veiny Willow. So if I'm goin' out, it's here. If you wanna kill the world... well, then start with me. I've earned that.” —Xander Harris, Season 6, Episode 22: ‘Grave’.
Rupert Giles; ‘The Gift’ ‘Passion’, ‘A New Man’, ‘Flooded’, ‘Innocence’, ‘Band Candy’, ‘Becoming Part 2’, ‘Two to Go’, and ‘Grave’. For most of these characters it’s impossible to choose.
"She's a hero, you see. She's not like us." —Rupert Giles, Season 5, Episode 22: ‘The Gift’.
Cordelia Chase; ‘Homecoming’, ‘Lovers Walk’, and ‘The Wish’. I think she had much better moments over on Angel and I’m struggling to think of anything specific at the moment.
Oz: ‘Wild at Heart’ and ‘New Moon Rising’.
Anya Jenkins; ‘The Body’, ‘Selfless’, and ‘Hells Bells’.
"But I don't understand! I don't understand how this all happens. How we go through this. I mean, I knew her, and then she's, there's just a body, and I don't understand why she just can't get back in it and not be dead anymore! It's stupid! It's mortal and stupid! And, and Xander's crying and not talking, and, and I was having fruit punch, and I thought, well Joyce will never have any more fruit punch, ever, and she'll never have eggs, or yawn or brush her hair, not ever, and no one will explain to me why." —Anya Jenkins, Season 5, Episode 16: ‘The Body’.
Tara Maclay; ‘Family’ and ‘Tough Love’. ‘Dead Things’ and ‘The Body’; Her conversations with Buffy.
Riley Finn; ‘Goodbye Iowa’.
Dawn Summers; ‘Blood Ties’, ‘Bargaining Part 1 & 2’, and ‘Conversations with Dead People’.
Faith Lehane; ‘This Year's Girl’, ‘Bad Girls’ and ‘Consequences’.
Angel; ‘Passon’, ‘Enemies’, ‘Becoming Part 2’, ‘The Prom’, and ‘Graduation Day Part 1 & 2’.
Spike; ‘The Gift’, ‘Bargaining Part 1 & 2’, ‘Beneath You’, and ‘Fool for Love’.
Joyce Summers; 'Band Candy', 'Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered', 'Normal Again', and 'Listening to Fear'; Ending scene where she and Joyce talk about Dawn.
Drusilla; Her entire performance in general.
The Master; ‘Prophecy Girl’ and ‘The Wish’.
The Mayor; Overall his entire performance. I can’t think of a specific moment.
Adam; I like a moment from him in ‘Superstar’ and during Buffy’s dream in ‘Restless’.
Maggie Walsh; While I can’t think of any specific moments, her actress was very convincing in the role and did a very good job.
Glory; Overall her entire performance, again can’t think of anything too specific at the moment.
The Trio; ‘Dead Things’.
Warren Mears; ‘Seeing Red’, ‘Villains’, and ‘The Killer in Me’.
Jonathan Levinson; ‘Earshot’, ‘Superstar’, and ‘Conversations with Dead People’.
Andrew Wells; 'Storyteller'.
Caleb; Overall his entire performance, again can’t think specifics, I’m so sorry.
The First; They all did really well. Azura Skye (Cassie) did wonderful in The First’s first appearance… Or well, second since ‘Amends’.
If you disagree, that's okay. I feel nausea just trying to post things and tell my honest thoughts, sometimes it can be a little hard. And I'm sorry If i forgot an episode or moment you think should be here. I was struggling to remember off the top of my mind but feel free to share your own list! 🩵
