New elimination game!
This game will be comparing Prologue Endings of each episode (instead of the Episode Endings in the last game.) I've finished the first three seasons so far, so it's ready to play if we want to start the game.
The rules are the same otherwise -- I've copied Stoney's post from the other game with some changes added: "This time we're looking at the very final moment of each episode's prologue. This isn't about whether you love the episode overall, we're just exclusively comparing the prologue endings."
Rules
As with previous point based eliminations I think we should keep the same basic rules.
- You can only vote after 3 other people have voted since your last vote, or 2 days have passed since the last person voted.
- All endings start with 5 points. Points are reset to 5 for the remaining endings at a few stages: when there are 15 episodes left, 9 left and 5 left.
How to play
'Reply with quote' to the last post and then choose an episode to award one point to and an episode to subtract one point from (tell us which beside the + and - above the episode list). Update the points then post.
Obviously as there's information above just the episode titles this time, it is a very text heavy list, which is just unavoidable. The points which you need to add or take from are at the end of each entry. Please feel free to shout out if you notice any mistakes/omissions.
Notes
*It would be appreciated if you remember to scan above your post after you make it to check if someone actually managed to post just a moment before you, then you can 'edit' your post to amend the points to incorporate theirs too.**
**N.B. I've prepared these through to the end of S3 so far as it takes a bit of time and once I've done all seven seasons I'll edit this first post and put them under a spoiler here. Then, if a season concludes and I'm not around, someone else can come back here and 'reply with quote' to be able to copy the list for the next season and continue the game. EDIT: All seasons are included under the spoiler now.**

Here's the Season Five list in advance:
Here we go with S1!
WttH: A guy and girl sneak into Sunnydale High at night. The blonde looks nervous and asks if they're alone, the guy assures her they are. Darla: "Are you sure?" Boy: "Yes, I'm sure." She turns around in vamp face, growls and bites the guy. They sink to the floor. -5
The Harvest: Buffy catches up with Willow, Xander and Jesse outside the mausoleum, fighting off the vampires attacking them. As Willow runs over to Xander who is on the ground, Buffy notices that Jesse is gone. She stands up and slowly scans the cemetery. Buffy: (whispers) "Jesse."
-5
Witch: At the high school gym, amidst the cheerleading tryouts, Willow notices that Amber catches fire during her routine. Buffy knocks her down and snuffs out the flames with a banner. Buffy: (trying to comfort Amber) "It's okay, it's okay, you're gonna be?okay." (to herself) "God!" -5
Teacher's Pet: In the science classroom, Dr. Gregory turns off the lights and inspects his slide-viewing plate. The closet door opens and a large, green mantis claw goes around his neck dragging him off his chair. His glasses hit the floor and break, a second later, so does he. -5
Never Kill A Boy on the First Date: The Master reads aloud: "?The Anointed will be my greatest weapon against the Slayer! If you fail to bring him to me, if you allow that girl to stop you?(throws vampire into a coffin) Here endeth the lesson.'" He slams the book shut and walks off. -5
The Pack: In the hyena house, the hyenas growl as Xander, Kyle and the others look on. As their eyes flash green, some of the kids eyes do too. Lance tries to escape, but falls. Kyle and the others turn and laugh. Lance runs out. Xander turns around and his eyes flash green. -5
Angel: On the sidewalk on her way back from the Bronze, Buffy is accosted by The Three. Buffy: "Okay, okay?Look, I really don't wanna fight all three of you?unless I have to." She is slammed into a fence in the alley. One of them slowly approaches her with death in his eyes. Buffy is terrified. -5
I, Robot, You Jane: Willow is alone in the library drawing a scanner over pages from a book and they appear on the monitor. As she types to save the scan, the script in the book disappears. She closes the book, places it with the others & leaves. The computer monitor goes blank & Moloch's words appear: Where am I? -5
The Puppet Show: In the girls' locker room, Emily changes and replaces her ballet outfit into her locker. As she closes it, she hears a noise & walks to the end of the row of lockers, peeking round the corner, then walks to the next. The demon exhales as it watches and comes up behind her. She screams. Demon:"I will be flesh!" -5
Nightmares: In the classroom, Wendell opens his book. He screams and drops it on his desk when a bunch of tarantulas crawl out of it. Everyone closest to him get out of their chairs as the tarantulas crawl all over Wendell, who cries for help. Billy: "Sorry about that." Wendell: "Please help me!" -5
Out of Mind, Out of Sight: In the boys' locker room, Mitch reaches for a bat on top of the lockers. It floats up by itself. The bat swings and hits him & he falls. It swings again but misses and hits the locker doors. It hits him on his upper left arm, another swing hits him in the face and he's knocked unconscious. -5
Prophecy Girl: In his lair, the Master stands with his arms stretched out above him: "Yes! YES! Shake, Earth! This is a sign! We are in the final days! My time has come! Glory! GLORY!" The quake is over as quickly as it started, and the Master looks over at Collin. Master: "Whadaya think? 5.1?" -5
