She seems to make alot of speeches in every episode, which is your favorite? Personally, I like the one in season 4 where she talks into the headset after she survives that trap.

Yeah I like that speech too. God, theres so many. I don't know but I do know that some speeches she makes(Like that episode where the hellmouth opens again but it focuses on Xander and the bomb, and when he interupts Buffy and ASngel where she's giving him" You want to die, go ahead, speeches)for me, its kinda boring liike in the last season where she's all the time making those motivation speeches when some time they're not motivating, they're just boring.Like"yeah yeah we know"

I guess this all depends on how you define 'speech'. Prior to S7, the only two bits of dialogue that have speech-like qualities to me are the 'I'm sixteen years old. I don't want to die' talk from Prophecy Girl and the rebuttal to the Watcher's Council in Checkpoint. (The stuff in The Zeppo was just deliberately melodramatic in a wink to the viewers about the dragging S3 B/A 'angst'). The PG and Checkpoint speeches were both excellent, but the ones in S7 seriously sucked - they were poorly acted, badly written and absolutely devoid of any kind of emotional content. Not to mention that the speech is arguably the most artificial form of human language. Most of the time, no speech is a good speech.

It seemed that in S7 most of the speeches had the same words in it.

I'm glad they made fun of the speeches in storyteller, 'even willow seems bored'. That speech to dawn at the end of the gift was pretty boring too, it would have been better if they just had music at the end.
She did have some great speeches though. The ones in checkpoint and the I in team were great, so was the one in earshot. I loved how that whole speech to jonathan was for nothing, he wasn't the attempted murderer after all.

hmmm...i noticed the S7 speeches were really repetitive but i really liked the one Xander gives to Dawn at the end of i think it was Potential. But i guess that kind of doesnt apply to this topic...well Buffy's speeches are kind of...overdramatic. but then again the world is usually about to end....I like the one in The I in Team, too.

Buffy loves being dramatic, looks at that performance in storyteller. She took andrew to the seal and threatened to kill him so his tears would close the seal; she could have just shoved an onion in his face and been home in time for dinner. But no, any excuse to be dramatic.  |

I love the one she made in "Chosen." It was a great speech for the finale of the series. Go Buffy! And your words. LOL, Cyclica at the onion.
