Top 5 single-episode characters on Buffy? Top 5 shows you would recommend to a Buffy fan?

Top 5 single-episode characters on Buffy:

5. Dr. Gregory and Mr. Platt - I’m making this one a tie, which is sort of cheating, but I think it’s ok in this instance because these characters serve very similar purposes. Both are good authority figures who could have had positive influences on Buffy were they not immediately killed off. I like them basically because I think the Scoobies deserved more good adults in their lives, so I wish they had survived their respective episodes.

If I had to choose between them to keep it down to five, I would probably go with Mr. Platt, just because he’s played by Mr. Moseby. But I don’t have to do anything, so I’m making it a tie anyway.

4. Holden Webster - I’m just really obsessed with the Buffyverse demons who are simultaneously objectively evil, and also just kind of chill. I don’t why, but there’s apparently nothing funnier to me than lines like “I’m here to kill you, not to judge you.” I also like that he gave Buffy the opportunity to finally talk about her issues openly, because my real OTP is Buffy/therapy.

3. Sunday - She was just a really cool fun villain. She was charming and funny and the actress did a great job. I wouldn’t have minded if she stuck around for a few more episodes, but she made a real impression with the little screen time she had.

2. Cassandra Newton - There are very few one episode characters that have as much time and effort dedicated to exploring them as Cassie does, and that time and effort pays off. Cassie is the only character on this list that I would describe as well rounded, and that really comes down to just how much of Help was dedicated to her characterization. I also really liked her role as another one of Buffy’s shadow selves. She’s sort of like Ampata from season 2 (but better, because she’s not bogged down by racist stereotyping) in that her tragic death mirrors all of Buffy’s sacrifices, which really works well with the themes of the season (but that’s a tangent for another day).

1. The demon Sweet - In addition for providing the plot justification necessary for Once More With Feeling, which imo would already qualify him for the top spot, he’s also played by Broadway legend Hinton Battle, who is just fucking awesome. I honestly think that his song is extremely underrated by the fandom because he’s not a main character. On a quality level, I think it might be the best song, although that might just be because Battle is obviously the best singer. Also, I love his design, I love that he wears a suit, I love the whole charming businessman thing he’s got going on. He’s truly one of the best villains ever on Buffy.

Top 5 shows you would recommend to a Buffy fan (in no particular order):

Ok, so disclaimer, I haven’t seen the Magicians, or Lucifer, or Crazyhead, or Wynnona Earp (god I suck) but I know those are pretty common answers to this question, so this is why they’re not on the list.

1. Legends of Tomorrow - Specifically if you’re a fan of the general batshit craziness of season 4, Legends is perfect. It’s insane, and weird and fun. It has a found family narrative, it’s incredibly gay, and is significantly more diverse than Buffy ever was. Another thing it has in common with Buffy is that the quality of the first season is pretty iffy, and if you give it a shot, you’re just going to have to power through season 1. But still, highly recommended for any Buffy fan looking for a fun time.

2. Veronica Mars - I was kind of hesitant to even mention this one because it’s so obviously the show you watch after you’ve finished Buffy. That’s what I did at least, and it filled that void very nicely. It’s a great show, and Veronica Mars is one of the best TV characters of all time. But I’m sure everyone reading this knows that already.

3. Carmilla - It’s a web series but I’m counting it. The show was very obviously made by a bunch of Buffy fans. Beyond just the constant Buffy references, there are also word-for-word quotes lifted directly from Buffy. So pretty much made for Buffy fans. It’s also the lesbian vampire romance of your dreams, even if the writing is sometimes a little fanficcy (which I see as a positive, but it’s not for everyone) and it was made on a budget of like two dollars. But everyone involved was clearly very passionate about the project and that really comes across.

4. UnREAL - For season 6 fans. It’s a Marti Noxon joint, and it’s basically an entire show built on the premise of exploring complex mentally ill female characters, toxic relationships, and addiction. (Also reality television, but that has less to do with Buffy.) I think it’s a really good show, although I only got through two seasons before the drama of it all got to be a bit too much. But I do think that has more to do with me than it does with the show. If you’re looking for a season 6 sort of vibe, Marti’s got you covered.

5.  Crazy Ex-Girlfriend - Ok, I’m kind of struggling to justify this one beyond just pointing out that I’m a Buffy fan and I like it. But ok, a lot of Buffy fans love Once More with Feeling and Crazy Ex is a musical show. Also, more exploration of complex, mentally ill female characters, so again, good for season 6 fans. But the real reason I put it on here is that watching it makes me feel the same way that watching Buffy did, and I don’t really have a concrete explanation of why that is, but it’s there.
