Feel free to ramble away, I can never get enough of talking about Buffy ;) It's probably best to just pick out one episode that you think will entice someone and draw them in,and then insist on going back to the beginning to watch them all in order as Buffy was such a continuity-heavy show

And if anything I find some of the filler in season 2 worse than the much more criticised season 1 tbh. Yeah some of the season 1 episodes were cheesy, but it worked for them and honestly I never felt like they were legit bad episodes in the way that Inca Mummy Girl or Reptile Boy can be a bit painful to rewatch
