In this special episode, we recap our thoughts on Season 5 of both shows. We count down our top 5 moments, discuss our least favorite moments, reveal our favorite episodes, share some predictions, talk about the MANY similarities, and decide which show was better overall.

Buffy S5 E17 “Forever"/Gilmore Girls S5 E17 "Pulp Friction" We'll never know if Dawn's spell made Joyce come back wrong or right, but Emily definitely came back to Luke's VERY in the wrong re: her daughter's relationship.

Gilmore Girls S5 E12 "Come Home"/Buffy S5 E12 "Checkpoint" Both shows end with confident women delivering brutally honest speeches to men they find weak.

The Council/Logan play mind games with Buffy/Rory. Richar...

Buffy S5 E11 “Triangle"/Gilmore Girls S5 E11 "Women of Questionable Morals" Lorelai's 2 first loves (snow & Christopher) as well as Anya's former flame (a troll) all come to visit, each causing their own kind of chaos.
