Season 2 can be split into two very distinctive half. Which editors did, when the VHS and DVD sets were released. Part. 2 is my favorite. And if it wasn't for a couple of episodes, it would be for the series as well. Only it does not have Season 3 wholesomeness. Bad Eggs is another guilty pleasure episode of mine, alongside Ted. It is considered one of the worst, but not for me. As cheesy and random as this monster-of-the-week was, it introduced the Gorch brothers, and Alex and Cordelia's romance was blooming. Buffy and Angel were also living true blissful moments. And Joyce finally took a stand for herself. The episode was yet another wink at a horror classic. Only the real message, foreshadowing next episode's plot, was muddled into different sub-plots. It also has great lines, which is what I mostly loved about second year. The way they made fun of everything without any care in the world, would have a hard time passing through today's offensiveness detector. But who cares, it was and still is great to spot those scenes anyway.
