This episode is strongly tied with 5x16 "The Body" as
my favorite episode of the series and top ten 10 TV episodes of all time.
I cry every time. Re-watching 20 years after seeing it for the first time, I love it even more.
To care for these characters is to love them. And here we get a glimpse into the subconscious in all its glory. We see their unfiltered motivations, doubts and fears, and get a flavor of what binds the group together after years of growing together.
Joss Whedon's ability to capture emotion while staying true to the subversive humor of the Buffyverse is absolutely mesmerizing. A masterpiece. And the music is absolutely gorgeous to boot.
