Welcome to the FAQ for the Buffy Reddit

Here you'll find all the info you need to know about our episode discussions, viewing order, comics, and frequently asked questions. If you want to submit a link to the Buffy reddit, please check here first to see if it has already been asked multiple times. We won't complain if you ask again, but please try and be more specific when doing so! Just because the episodes are over doesn't mean the Buffyverse dies. Thanks!

Spoilers

We aren't very strict with spoilers for the episodes because they're all over. However, we ask that for the comics you use spoilers! Please see this post for more on spoilers and how to use spoiler tags.

How to get User Flair

Viewing Order

Buffy the Vampire Slayer Episodes

View the complete episode list at Wikipedia.

In viewing this series, most people start with Episode 1: Welcome to the Hellmouth. However, there is an unaired pilot. While it is essentially the same plot as episode 1, it is still fun to watch. The biggest difference is the actress for Willow - Alyson Hannigan was not cast yet. You can watch it here. Then go through the series by season, ending with Episode 144: Chosen.

Angel Episodes

Season 4 of Buffy also begins Season 1 of Angel. Since there are many crossovers, you should probably watch them in order. Both shows are great anyway - why wouldn't you want to?
