Angel's Darla-saving trial Doyle's sacrifice in "Hero", or Spike's in "Chosen" I would say Doyle's sacrifice affected me more, only because Spike's rebirth on Angel was so hyped in the media. I hate that! Lindsay singing in Caritas or Giles singing in the coffee shop? (apologies if this one's already been done)

(apologies if this one's already been done) Most satisfying: The last scene of "Not Fade Away" or the last scene in "Chosen".

Most satisfying: The last scene of "Not Fade Away" or the last scene in "Chosen". Definitely, Chosen is more satisfying, but I think the better ending is Not Fade Away. Better beginning to season 6, AtS (in fanfic/tv movie/feature film): Paratti's: A white light to another dimension - preferably Pylea - which Angel, Gunn, and Frillyiria already know, and arrive at via crystals taken from Illyria's sarcophagus. Gunn gets medical care and everyone chills out and relaxes. Once Gunn is healed, they transport to another dimension, and end up in the Wishverse. Wesley is the only one still alive - our heroes kill all the vamps, and they transport again, this time with a living Wes who's not "into" Fred.... or: Choice B, mentioned already in 2 fanfics: A slayer army traps the demons at the head of the alley, the rooves of the buildings and come from behind the chain-link fence. Seems Wesley had spoken to Giles, explained the situation beforehand, and Giles and Buffy had dispatched the army. The battle is won, and our heroes go to Vail's to get Wes' body. When they arrive, they find Vail dead (and headless), but Wes dying, but he thinks he's dead. He's taken to a hospital where Willow removes Vail's glamour. After a great feast, the slayer army, Buffy, Faith, etc. depart for their "regular" locations, and our heroes repair to the Hyperion to start all over again - with Gunn, Wesley, Frillyria, Spike, and Angel.

I love the second option! Buffy, slayers and Giles and all our favorites back together. And a party! But we have to get Lorne there to sing somehow. There can't be a party without Lorne! Better ending to S5: Smile Time or Not Fade Away?

As much as I love Puppet Angel I gotta go with... Not Fade AwayBetter Non-Souled Vamp Double-Cross: Spike w/Adam in BtVS S4 OR Harmony w/Hamilton in AtS S5 Tough one. I liked the surprise aspect of Harmony/Hamilton. But Spike w/Adam - better build-up on it. Will have to go with Harmony/Hamilton since Harmony doesn't lamely give it away. Best fake-out: Spike fakes out Angel and sides with Buffy to beat the living tar out of Angel in Becoming Part IIor Buffy and Angel fake out Faith to get her to spill the beans about The Mayor.

Buffy and Angelus Angel fake out. It was a particularly cruel blow for Faith. Did we ever find out if he actually slept with Faith or not? Which was worse - Caleb poking out Xander's eye or Vail stabbing Wesley?

Vail stabbing Wesley - it just might be permanently fatal so that's much worse. Best hint that Buffy-Riley are Not-Meant-To-Be: Buffy holding back when she and Riley spar or Faith (in Buffy's body) sleeps with Riley

Better selfless act: Buffy's letting Angel drink her to save him from Faith's poison arrow, or Faith letting herself be drugged to capture Angelus?

I have to go with Faith letting herself be drugged, because as ookey as this is, Buffy seemed to kinda enjoy the draining thing, she did it for her own personal motives (not for bad-guy fighting so much) and she only did it after she failed to murder Faith and force her to thereby involuntarily give her blood. There was courage and heroism involved in her act, but there was tons of moral ambiguity involved there, also. Sweeter version of Buffy - the Buffybot, or Tabula Rasa no-memory Buffy?

Tabula Rasa no-memory Buffy - 'cuz it was really Buffy freed of all the Slayer worries, not a happy version of Buffy filtered through Spike's ideas of her. 3 way choice. Sadder/more tragic Anya moment: after the wedding-that-wasn't when she takes D'Hoffryn up on his offer; washing her hands after the frat boy massacre; walking away from Xander after choosing to die but seeing Hallie sacrificed instead.

Lola Anya walking away from Xander after choosing to die but seeing Hallie sacrificed instead. Just seemed to be the final fall. I don't know if this has been previously presented: Willow's Inuit costume in Inca Mummy Girl or Willow's Ghost costume in Halloween.

No wonder Oz fell for her. Evil Willow or Evil Cordy?
