Yep. “I Robot, You Jane” had the great line from Giles when he tells Jenny Calendar why he prefers books over electronic archives as well as the very precient part at the end where B/W/X laugh over the fact that they’re doomed to have horrible and failed relationships for the rest of their lives.

Well, I won’t deny that there were some great lines in “I Robot, You Jane”, but that’s true about _all_ the episodes. Therefore, I prefer to discriminate based on plot. And that was a stinker. Yowza.

And “The Puppet Show” also had some good lines, particularly from Principal Snyder.

Of course, I like _every_ Buffy episode, so it’s not like I’m judgemental like that. 🙂
