Buffy The Vampire Slayer: 10 Reasons Season 2 Was The Best

2. Buffy Uses A Rocket Launcher

Here's how most conversations go when you're defending season 2 over other Buffy seasons. "Season 3 is better! You've got Faith, you've got the mayor, Anya shows up. Come on!" "Yeah but in season 2, Buffy uses a rocket launcher". "Nothing beats season 6. It has Once More With Feeling and it says all kinds of interesting things about depression". "All of that is true but does Buffy use a rocket launcher? No? Sorry mate". "I could watch season 5 over and over. The Body alone makes it the best one!" "Buddy, I hear you, I really do but...first word rocket. Second word launcher. Consider my case rested". If most of us were to get dumped by our boyfriend just after having sex for the first time, we'd probably take some time out to cry or melt cheese on things and then consume them. Maybe take up knitting. Not Buffy. Her first step is to show up at a mall and blast an ancient demon away with a rocket launcher. It makes for one of the most boss entries in the "Buffy looks cool while holding dangerous objects" file and you've gotta think it helped ease the pain at least a little.
