2. I almost went with Kristin Sutherland because she does play a corspe very convincingly (and I know I couldn't lie still for that long) but then I remembered SMG's expression after she shouts "We're not supposed to move the body!" So yeah, she won it hands down in the end.
3. The vampire makes sense to me. Vampires are just another everyday boring aspect of Buffy's life. Plus, the forces of darkness aren't going to give her a night off because she's grieving.
4. Joyce. I'm not sure why, but she reminds me a tiny bit of my own mother, and I'm around the same age as Buffy is here. It's too easy to imagine this happening to me *shudder*.
5. Five stars. Painful as it is, I do think it's one of the best of the whole series.
Though I'm glad to see someone did pick Kristin Sutherland!
