BTVS ships episode count review

I was thinking about Buffy's 3 main ships (to me): Bangel v. Spuffy v. Fuffy. I was wondering how many episodes (BTVS or ATS) where each ship has scenes together. Then inspired by these two polls I decided to add in two other non-Buffy ships: Gethan and Spangel.

Kudos to the Fuffy and Gethan shippers, who are working with not a TON of episodes with scenes together. Especially Gethan shippers, who only have 4 canon episodes! To be fair, Spangel fans only had 13 until S5 of ATS.

Summary ship episode count: Spuffy (Spike x Buffy): 71 Bangel (Buffy x Angel): 49 Spangel (Spike x Angel): 35 Fuffy (Faith x Buffy): 21 Gethan (Giles x Ethan): 4

Any blatant negative ship comments, like calling a specific ship indecent will get you blocked. Ship and let ship. Other comments welcome.

Full details under the cut!

What's the Universe? The TV Buffyverse. (BTVS TV or ATS TV eps, the comics and books don’t count.)

How to start? I started with the pre-count. The pre-count is episodes where both characters in the ship appeared.

Spuffy pre-count: 96 (inc. 0 on ATS) Bangel pre-count: 56 (inc. 2 on ATS) Spangel pre-count: 42 (inc. 22 on ATS) Fuffy pre-count: 21 (inc. 1 on ATS) Gethan pre-count: 4 (inc. 0 on ATS)

How to verify? I did not rewatch all the episodes! I rewatched a few, after checking transcripts, recaps, and ship gif pages.

What doesn't count? Someone talking about the other person, because I am not trying to include the various episodes where Faith is haunting the show. They must appear in a scene together for it to count. They must both be fully aware of each other. Shared dreams (like the Fuffy ones) do count, but regular dreams do not. Buffy Bot, Wishverse Buffy, and FirstEvil Buffy do not count. I treated Faith and Buffy as their "mental" selves during the two body swap episode scenes. Also I treated Angel the same as Angelus and soul-less Spike the same as soul-ed Spike.

Notes per Ship...

Spuffy (Spike x Buffy) 71 total S1: 0 / S2: 7 / S3: 1 / S4: 9 / S5: 18 / S6: 17 / S7: 19 / ATS: 0 4x06 Wild At Heart does not count because in the cemetery she is not aware he can hear her speech "to him." 4x16 Who Are You? does not count because Spike encounters Faith in Buffy's body, so I counted that as a Faith-Spike scene. 4x22 Restless also does not count because while he appears in Xander's dream and so does Buffy, this is Xander's dream so neither appearance counts. 5x08 Shadow does not count because he dreams of her, but it's not a shared dream. Bangel (Buffy x Angel) 49 total S1: 6 / S2: 19 / S3: 18 / S4: 1 / S5: 1 / S6: 0 / S7: 2 / ATS: 2 (S1) 3x03 Faith Hope and Trick does not count because when naked Angel appears at the end Buffy has already left. 3x09 The Wish does not count because Wishverse Buffy is not regular Buffy. 4x08 Pangs does not count because Buffy is not aware of him. Spangel (Spike x Angel) 35 total S1: 0 / S2: 10 / S3: 1 / S4: 0 / S5: 0 / S6: 0 / S7: 0 / ATS: 24 (S1, 2, 5) 4x08 Pangs does not count because Spike does not share a scene with Angel. 7x21 End of Days and 7x22 Chosen both do not count because while Spike watches Angel, Angel does not seem to be aware of him watching. For ATS, besides all of S5, they share scenes in 1x03 In The Dark and 2x07 Darla.

Fuffy (Faith x Buffy) 21 total S1: 0 / S2: 0 / S3: 13 / S4: 2 / S5: 0 / S6: 0 / S7: 5 / ATS: 1 (S1) Every Faith appearance in a BTVS episode means she will have a scene with Buffy. She has 5 Buffy-less episodes on ATS. I did count the dream sequence in 3x22 Graduation Day Part 2 because I read it as a shared dream. They are both aware of the other.

Gethan (Giles x Ethan) 4 total S1: 0 / S2: 2 / S3: 1 / S4: 1 / S5: 0 / S6: 0 / ATS: 0 Similar to Faith, whenever Ethan appears in an episode, he will have a scene with Giles.

This doesn't have visualization yet but I wanted to share the results.

dilfjdjfdslkjfdskljfljkdsflkjls .kjfjkdsjklflkjdsflj insane question hi anon . i mean they interact for most of the show but im prepared to go insane here hi .

anyway here are all their episodes n a top moment of mine from each hi . you enabled me for this. we're in a fight. pls know what u've done to me.

2x03 "school hard" 'do we really need weapons for this' INTRICATE RITUALS

2x06 "halloween" -- it's spike being really normal about her 'baby likes to play' . like okay slut <3

DRUSILLA: Miss Edith speaks out of turn. She's a bad example, and will have no cakes today. Shh. SPIKE: Darling, are you going to eat something? DRUSILLA: I'm not hungry. I miss Prague. SPIKE: You nearly died in Prague. Idiot mob. This is the place for us. The Hellmouth will restore you, put color in your cheeks, metaphorically speaking, and in a few week's time... DRUSILLA: The stars will align, and smile down on us. SPIKE: And then, God, this town will burn. DRUSILLA: A pretty fire!

my favourite line from each btvs s2 ep:

2x01: Yeah, that's the worst part of being hung upside down by a vampire who wants to slit your throat: the stains.

2x02: Sorry, but I'm an old-fashioned gal. I was raised to believe that men dig up the corpses and the women have the babies.

2x03: If every vampire who said he was at the crucifixion was actually there, it would have been like Woodstock.

2x04: I can translate American salivating boy talk. He says you're beautiful.

2x05: And you! I mean, you're gonna live forever! You don't have time for a cup of coffee?!

2x06: Do you love my insides? The parts you can't see? Eyeballs to entrails, my sweet.

2x07: A hundred years, just hanging out, feeling’ guilty…I really honed my brooding skills. 

2x08: Do you know what you need, Xander, besides a year's supply of acne cream? A brain.

2x09: I'll dance with you, pet, on the Slayer's grave.

2x10: Well, I sorta test well, which is cool, except then it leads to jobs.

2x11: Well, apparently the secret ingredient is not love.

2x12: Do you know what this says about me? That I am doomed to lead my mother's life! How deeply scary is that?

2x13: Just because she's "Miss Save the World", we have to make a big deal? I have to cook!

2x14: To kill this girl, you have to love her.

2x15: What's his number? Oh, yeah. 1-800-I'm-dating-a-skanky-ho.

2x16: And keep your mom-aged mitts off my boyfriend! Former!

2x17: If we could live without passion, maybe we'd know some kind of peace, but we would be hollow, empty rooms…shuttered and dank. Without passion, we'd be truly dead.

2x18: Tact is just not saying true stuff. I'll pass.

2x19: Did Cordelia win another round in the broom closet?

2x20: It's a slap in the face to everyone who studied hard and worked long hours to earn our D's.

2x21: No one asks for their life to change, not really. But it does. So what are we? Helpless? Puppets? No, the big moments are gonna come, you can't help that. It's what you do afterwards that counts. That's when you find out who you are.

2x22: That's everything, huh? No weapons...no friends...no hope. Take all that away...and what's left? Me.

BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER — 2x07: Lie to me.

[lilithhedwig]

Dru is 100% thinking about it

[frankierose]

30 Days of Buffy Challenge

22. Favorite Rupert Giles Quote

Ah, of course, nobody saw this one coming! (/joke)

This quote is one of my favorites in the whole fucking series, and that's why it's in my description.

It comes from this exchange:

Giles: Do you want to be punished?

Willow: I want to be Willow.

Giles: You are. [...insert quote here]

The reason it stands out to me personally, I think, is because I'm in a period of my life where I don't know who I am. While I haven't gone through an astronomically traumatic event and turned into a powerful being made of dark magic, I still find myself asking 'Am I even me? Am I Frankie anymore?' - the answer is yes. I am.

That includes all my mistakes, all my regrets, all my nastiness. All my wonder, all my creativity. All my constantly changing interests. I will always be me.

I think the quote itself is profound enough without me adding much to it. We all are who we are, even though we change throughout the years. We're still uniquely us. That's what I gathered from it.

Also I'm trans lol #relatable

Honorable mention: of course, the iconic speech(?) from Lie to Me.
