    One scene that really grabbed me for its uniqueness was when Buffy is patrolling, she gets jumped by a vamp, and as they're having their knock-down, drag out fight, he suddenly stops and says, "Buffy? Buffy Summers? Holden Webster. I used to let you crib off my notes in English Composition." After which they take a break to have a philosophical discussion before resuming their brawl with the inevitable outcome. One of the very few vamps I was sorry to see get dusted.

    My favorite moment is Spike's "You're The One" speech. It truly shows the writer in him. It shows William coming out over Spike. Another one is kind of sad. It's actually when Anya talks about Joyce after she died. She didn't understand how Joyce can't go back into her body. Oh and "The Body" was some of the best acting on that show. "Hush" was as well. I keep thinking of others but it's going to be longer than this comment already is. So I'll end it here. 😎👍

    When Faith says "5 by 5" she is referring to radio communications. When you do a communications check you rate the clarity of the signal and signal strength. Rating is 1 to 5 with 5 being best, so 5 by 5 means good clarity.
    It is also used as Military Slang to mean "I'm clear" or "Every thing is good"

    My ultimate favourite moment is towards the end Becoming Part 2. First when Buffy and Angelus are fighting, Buffy's come to back to Angelus' "No weapons, no friends, no hope. Take all that away and what have you got left?" Then Buffy opens her eyes and says, "Me!" Then shoves him in the face with the butt of the sword is frickin bad ass! Then Buffy's pain when Angel gets his soul back and she has to kill him is palpable and feels so real. I cry like a baby everytime I watch that episode.

I thought it was insane how they somehow made a random story about a horrible teacher-student relationship that led to a murder-suicide into a PERFECT PARALLEL OF BUFFY AND ANGEL'S SITUATION. Just .....WHAT?! I loved every bit of that! And Angelus at the end saying he felt violated by being possessed by love. And the way Buffy says, "Angel?" right before he roars and shoves her. And Buffy saying the kid deserves to suffer even if he didn't actually mean to hurt her, he did and he needs to live with that and even how Xander says, "He can't live with it. He's dead." GAH.

    "5 by 5" is actually a code used in radio. If the person you're talking to on the other end had a clear, strong signal you would say something like, "you're five by five.", essentially confirming that they are coming in loud and clear. Other numbers refer to different situations like if you can only hear yourself or not at all you might say, "4 by 6" or "3 by 5". Five by five is Faith's way of confirming, "it''s all good!"(which for somebody who tends to live in the moment, is like, always).
    Willow was right; nobody knows 😆!

      It was used by the military in WWII when most communications were by radio. It was indeed strength of signal X clarity.
      So when you say 5x5 to someone it does mean loud and clear as hostile17 says.
      But I do like the way Faith says it :)

      It was also used in the U.S. space program. It can be heard from/to Mission Control in Houston during the Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo missions. A good fictional demonstration of this is the HBO series From the Earth to the Moon. It is available on demand/streaming from HBOMax. Note that on demand is missing the Apollo 12 episode, but streaming has it. Excellent series!

    Favorite moment in Buffy is when she tells Xander and Willow that she sacrificed Angel she loved him and would have given up everything to be with him. Best moment in Angel is when David slips and says Sarah, not Buffy. Angel and Buffy, Spike and Dru, Willow and Oz.

    I was in 6th grade when I started watching buffy, first episode I watched live was Graduation Day. It became my comfort show and I can not count how many times I have watched the show since. I'm still noticing new things and picking up on details I somehow missed. Watching the show as an adult feels like a new experience. I've seen Angel several times (great show) but nothing can ever compare to how great this show was, and there are no words to describe how much it has meant to me.

    Bit of a stretch there, "Google It" had been used for a good while prior to Willow, she was just the first character to use it on TV. The same way Hogwarts was an invention prior to Dawn suggesting they all crack a book. The show reflected pop culture in these regards, not created it.

    As a long time fan of Btvs, I expected to know a good portion of these and I did, all but 2, that Ryan Reynolds almost played Xander and that Blink 182 had been on Buffy.
    One correction though, Willow was not the first person to use the word "google" as a verb, just the first person on tv and it was really just a set up for the "Willow, she's 15!" joke, which I remember thinking was a pretty lame joke at the time. I was in my teens when it aired

    This must have been written by someone who has never really seen the show. I am 1:29 in and there have already been at least misleading statements about the show, e.g. "the hellmouth, an opeing through which demons and monsters could enter the human world and reality" That makes it sound like creatures are constantly creeping up from the hellmouth.
    Anyone who has seen the show knows that is not the case. The Hellmouth is not an "opening" but it can be opened. Would be hard if it were permanently open, since "the opening" is literally in the middle of the school library of Sunnydale High.
