Buffy has recently been brought back from the dead after she sacrificed herself to save Dawn at the end of Season 5. So before I get into the details of why this episode is so important, let me get you up to speed with what’s happening in Sunnydale as the episode starts. I bought the soundtrack on CD as soon as it was released and I still listen to one song regularly to this day. Everything about it just blew me away, the catchy songs overflowing with story-driven, heart breaking lyrics, the revelations revealed within those lyrics, seeing people we never expected to sing doing just that, and best of all there was a reason behind it. It is my favorite episode of Buffy for sure, but even more than that, it’s one of my all-time favorite TV show episodes, period. Luckily for a Buffy the Vampire Slayer mega fan like me, the musical episode from Season 6, “Once More With Feeling” was the latter. Or it can be incredible, transforming those characters into a whole new version of themselves that we’ve never had the opportunity to see before. It can be diabolical, feeling completely out of place and ruining the characters and story the fans have grown to love. When a non-musical show decides to have a stab at a musical episode, it can go one of two ways.
