Buffy The Vampire Slayer

So every so often I used to do these little top 5 lists. I was really into them. It started as a game I used to play with my friends. Lists are fun. So I have a few more now. If you guys want me to do it again sometime soon, e-mail me some list topics. But for now this is what I came up with. As always, you can comment on the bulletin board below.
