Obviously inspired by @School Hard and her thread for ranking midpoint episodes. Episode 7 of a season tends to be thematic, plot moving and/or really good, so how so you rank them?

1.7 - Angel
2.7 - Lie to Me
3.7 - Revelations
4.7 - The Initiative
5.7 - Fool for Love
6.7 - Once More With Feeling
7.7 - Conversations with Dead People

Ooh, yes! The seventh episode is always great.
These are better episodes than the midpoint episodes. I don't love Conversations with Dead People as much as other people do.
1. Once More, With Feeling
2. Fool for Love
3. The Initiative
4. Revelations
5. Angel
6. Lie to Me
7. Conversations with Dead People

Best
Fool For Love - no question such a perfect episode
Lie to Me - Angel confession about Dru is so good as is Giles speech at the end
The Initiative - An underrated episode and one I really enjoyed
Conversations With Dead People - The Buffy/Holden scenes and the Andrew/Jonathan scenes are gold. The Willow arc falls down cause they couldn't get Amber Benson back and Willow never even met Cassie and I didn't care about Dawn part and KS peformance created confusion on whether that was First or Joyce when it was meant to be the First
Once more with Feeling - Great spectacle but doesn't really hold up on repeat viewings, why did Xander summon Sweet again ?
Angel - Good but DB acting is not good and that scene of Darla at Joyce window makes me laugh out loud at how bad it was. Plus I can't watch her death scene because I'm epileptic and that strobe effect sets me off
Revelations - Urghh the English stereotypes and the cop out with the Gang discovery of Angel, no pull back on Xander setting up Faith and Buffy openly gloating about punching her really gives this bad marks for me

1 Angel - one of my fave Season 1 episodes, love the start of the Bangel relationship, the hints at Dangel and the expansion of the lore
2 Revelations - a really great episode, good dive into the Faith/Buffy dynamic and Faith in general, and a nice look at the fallout from Angelus
3 Once More With Feeling - I love musicals, so of course I love this ep, particularly how every song is so specifically tailored to the characters/situations
4 Lie to Me - I do think this ep is a little underrated, as thematically it's very interesting, but it is also a little slow and gets a bit muddled at times
5 Conversations with Dead People - I find this episode a tad overrated and while I enjoy Willow and Dawn's segments, Buffy's conversation with Holden bugs me on several levels
6 Fool for Love - while this is technically a great episode, I don't have time for Spike's self-glorification
7 The Initiative - this episode is so boring I almost always skip it on rewatches, the Initiative does nothing for me

AtS

1 Darla - fantastic episode, love the deep dive into the Whirlwind and Darla's deteriorating state, and all her one-on-one scenes with Angel are fantastic
2 Offspring - a great episode, so many reveals, some great flashback material and a fantastic and emotional climax
3 Apocalyse Nowish - I actually find this to be a really fun episode with lots of action and fun - let down by the creepy and gross end scene
4 Bachelor Party - I really like the look at Doyle's past but this episode is a bit slow-going at times and not one of strongest episodes
5 Lineage - ugh, this episode annoys me on so many different levels and I often skip it on rewatches

1. Lie to Me
2. Revelations
3. Once More With Feeling- Nostalgia is playing a part, I love the songs but it's not a perfect episode on a story level- that ending with Xander was not given a lick of real thought.
4. Conversations With Dead People- also nostalgia in part but some great scenes.
5. Angel
6. Fool for Love
7. The Intiative- it's a forgettable episode.
