The season
began with Anne, and unsurprisingly Buffy dominating yet
again, scoring 87 in that episode. Buffy’s streak however
lasted only 7 episodes before she lost Lover’s Walk 89-76 to Spike, and the
subsequent episode The Wish 50-49 to Cordelia. She also lost
out in the Zeppo 150-43 to Xander (and had to
settle for joint bronze with Giles, and her lowest score yet), and finally Doppelgangland 177-50 to Willow. Buffy had only 9
episodes break the 100 line mark and saw her highest scoring episode in Band Candy(156). In
comparison season 7 Buffy had 14 Gold episodes, four Silver and one
Bronze. Her highest is Help(121) and her
lowest is Touched(33). Her
average rating in season 1 was down slightly from season ones 118.4, and season
2’s 95.5 to 95.3. In season 7
she had 76.1
Willow improved in
the rankings again despite a drop of 168 lines, to take Second spot by a hefty 175 line margin.
This was certainty helped by the record scoring 177 lines Willow
achieved in Doppelgangland, which is the highest scoring
episode for any character across all seasons, Doppelgangland contains just
one scene that does not feature either Willow or Vamp Willow, and quite a
few scenes that contain both Willows, and due to
the logic I have taken when deciding when character is a character both count
as Willow. Doppelgangland also made Willow the Fourth
character to break the 100 line mark and the Fifth to pick up a Gold
medal. Further to this Gold, Willow picked up Four
and a half Silvers and Three and a half Bronze medals. (the Half is for the
shared honours in Graduation Day Part 1 which she shared with Xander on 47). Her other
Silver episodes were Beauty and the Beasts(48) Gingerbread(62), Earshot(55) and Choices(41), she also
picked up a 71 in Lover’s walk. Her lowest
episode came in Helpless(15). In comparison Willow had one Gold,
2 Silver and 1 Bronze in season 7, a high of 104(Killer In Me) and a low of 6(Lies My Parents
Told Me). Her average in season 3 was down slightly from seasons
1’s 47.8 and season 2’s
45.6 to 45.0. In season 7
it was only 31.2
Xander fell from
second to third, and lost by a huge margin. An important note that I should
mention is that this drop of 343 lines is Xander’s worst ever
fall (though not his worst season). Other than the Gold for the Zeppo, Xander
achieved only half a silver medal when he tied Graduation Day pt
1 with Willow at 47, and Three and a half bronze medals (a tied
Silver counts as half a bronze). Unsurprisingly Xander’s 150 for the Zeppo was his
highest scoring episode in season 3, and his second highest scoring episode for
all seasons, his lowest in season 3 came in Helpless(9). In
comparison, Xander had 2 silver episodes and 4 bronze, with a
high of 54 (Selfless) and low of 2(Lies My Parents
Told Me) and did not appear in Conversations
with Dead People in season 7. Xanders average in
season 3 was down massively on season 2’s 52.6 and season 1’s
55.8 to 37.0. In season 7
it was just 29.2
(these averages are for episodes the character appeared in).
Giles also dropped
lines on last season’s 896, but remained stationary in fourth. He picked
up two Silver medals and five and a half bronze (The half bronze is for the
shared honours in The Zeppo with Buffy). The two
Silver episodes were Band Candy(73) and Helpless(52). Band Candy was his
highest scoring episode, and his worst came in Lover’s Walk(10). Giles is no longer a
regular, but in season 7 he has had only two silver episode Bring On the
Night(38) and Lies My Parents
Told Me(59) and one bronze episode. His average for
season 3 was down on season 1’s 53.5 and season 2’s 40.7 to 33.7. In season 7
it is currently 22.5, in episodes he appeared in.
Faith became the first
re-occurring character to beat a regular in the rankings, and aside from
Anya
out ranking Oz in season 4 (Oz was in 8
episode), she is the only character to do so. Faith had 4 Silver
episodes, Faith, Hope And Mr Tricks(65), Bad Girls(67), Consequences(83) and Enemies(77), and one
Bronze, Revelations(63). Consequences is also her
highest scoring episode in season 3. Her lowest was the 11 she achieved
in Homecoming and the Zeppo. Faith
returned to BtVS for the final 5 episodes of season 7, having
not appeared on the show since season 4, where she won two Gold, one silver and
half a bronze medal, and averaged 46.4 lines per episode. Her line average in season
3 was 38.2, which is
actually higher than both Xander and Giles. Faith appeared in a
total of 13 episodes in season 3.
Angel fell one spot as a
result of Faith, but picked up 3 Silver and 1 bronze medal. His
Silver episodes being Amends(50), The Prom(51) and Graduation Day
Part 2(52). His highest scoring episode was however his
bronze episode Enemies(71), which is actually his highest scoring episode
of all time on Buffy. Angel lowest episode was Faith, Hope and
Mr Tricks(0). Angel appeared in the
first two episodes only through dreams and had only 9 lines in the first
5 episodes. He did however appear in every episode in season 3. Angel is now a regular
on AtS but did appear in the series finale, where he picked up his final
silver episode. His average number of lines in season 3 was 20.9, down from last
seasons 25.0 but still higher than season 1’s 19.4. (This is for
episodes he appeared in)
Cordelia Slipped
another spot to seventh, but did manage to pick up a Gold with The Wish(50), and her
first and only Silver medal with Homecoming(70). Homecoming was her
highest scoring episode, and her lowest was Bad Girls(2). Cordelia’s average rating
was 18.0 overall, down
on last seasons 23.5 and season 1’s 23.9. However in
the first 11 episodes it was 23.5, in the last 11 it was a mere 12.4. Cordelia was a regular
on AtS for the first 4 seasons, and will hopefully appear in
season 5. She has not appeared on the Buffy since Graduation Day
Pt 2.
Oz improved in the
rankings Eighth, but still picked up no medals, and his highest scoring episode
was a mere 36 with Beauty and the
Beasts. His lowest in which he appeared was Bad Girls(2). Oz did not appear
in Consequences and is no
longer on the show, although still alive, his last credited appearance is
through dream in Restless. Oz had an average of 15.4 lines in
season 2, which is up on season 2’s 13.5.
Joyce picked up 1
silver and 1 bronze in season 3, the Silver being for Dead Man’s
Party(65), her highest scoring episode was however the
bronze Band Candy(68). Joyce appeared in a total of 15 episodes in season
3. Joyce’s character was
killed off in I was made to love you, however the
character has subsequently appeared through fantasies, dreams and flashbacks. Joyce’s last credited
episode in Normal Again, writers comments have revealed that Kristine
Sutherland was playing the First in Conversations
with Dead People and Bring on the Night. Joyce had an
average of 20.1 lines per episode in season 3. In season 2
this was 24.2 and in the first season 17.6.
Wes appeared in 9
season 3 episodes, and picked up one bronze medal in Bad Girls(57), which was
also his highest scoring episode. Wes is now a regular on AtS, and only
appeared in season 3 of Buffy. The Mayor appeared in 11
episodes, and picked up a bronze medal in Choices(32) this is his
highest scoring episode. The Mayor was killed off
in Graduation
Day pt 2, but reappeared through Dream and video in This years Girl.
Anya appeared in 4
episodes, and picked up a bronze in Doppelgangland(41), which is
also her highest scoring episode. Anya became a regular in season 5 and in season 7
she has had 1 Gold, and 2 bronze episodes, and an average of 23.3. In season 3
her average was 26.0. Spike became the Fourth character to pick up a Gold
medal in Lover’s walk(89). This was his only episode in season 3. Spike became a regular
on the show in season 4, and will be a regular on the fifth season of Angel.
Lilly appeared in her
second and last episode in Anne where she won
silver and a score of 70. She had previously appeared in Lie To Me, when she was
calling herself Chantraelle, subsequent to this episode she changed her name
to Anne and made two
appearances on AtS, where on both occasions she won Silver medals.
Also in Anne was guest star Ken, who won narrowly
won bronze with a score of 46. Several other guest stars also won medals in
season 3. Debbie took bronze for Beauty and the
Beasts(46) (also known as All Men Are
Beasts). Gwendolyn Post won silver for Revelations(68), whilst Zackary Kralik took bronze for Helpless(35) and Jack O’Tool won Silver for The Zeppo(65), relegating Buffy to a bronze (and
a shared bronze at that) for the first time. None of these medal winning guest
stars survived their episode.
