Sarah Michelle Gellar and Allisan Hannigan who could make me cry with a look. Emma Caulfield who could do the same with a single phrase.*nods to all, especially the red* ANYA - "But I don't understand!"...........(crying) I don't understand how this all happens. How we go through this. I mean, I knew her, and then she's, (sniffling) there's just a body, and I don't understand why she just can't get back in it and not be dead anymore. It's stupid. It's mortal and stupid. (still teary)
And, and Xander's crying and not talking, and, and I was having fruit punch, and I thought, well, Joyce will never have any more fruit punch ever, and she'll never have eggs, or yawn or brush her hair, not ever, and no one will explain to me why.**Season 5 - The Body (as if any of you need the reference notation) I only have to read it to cry again. The more so now since I lost both my mother and my husband. |

The look on Buffy's face when Angel turns up at The Prom.
Oz. 'Nuff said.
The infamous Spike head tilt.
Lots of people running in long coats.
Miss Kitty Fantastico.

Off the top of my head: 10. Buffy's "I don't want to die" scene in Prophecy Girl. 9. "That was then," and then boom goes the judge in "Innocence. 8. "Can I rest now, Buffy?" scene in "Beneath You." 7. Swedish subtitled scene with Aud and Olaf in "Selfless. 6. Hush. 5. "Why not call me 'horny Giles' or 'desperate for a shag' Giles? I knew there was a reason I hated you!" AND "Oh, listen to Mary Poppins. He's got his crust all stiff and upper with that nancy-boy accent. You Englishmen are always so...Bloody hell! Sodding, blimey, shagging, knickers, bollocks, oh God! I'm English!" (One I had many occasions to recall when living in England. 4. Band Candy. 3. The fact that there were always real consequences for things totally won me to the show; particularly, when Angel turned to Angelus, bad things happened that could not be undone. 2. Once More With Feeling. 1. The Body, which has a whole other resonance now and is the best representation I've ever seen of those moments following the loss of a parent. I'm sitting here reading this shouting "Yes! Yes! Yes!" ;D Yeah, I know, that sounds dirty, doesn't it? But I love everything on your list! Hell, just reading the ep title "The Body" and picturing Buffy's reaction makes me tear up. It will be a while before I can watch it again. Watching your parent die in your arms will do that to you. |

The last 10 minutes. Buffy getting the Class Protector Award, Angel surprising her, Giles' fatherly attitude towards Buffy and even his acceptance that she needed Angel there that night - the forgiveness he showed after all he'd been through with Angel/Angelus re Jenny. So much stuff going on in those last few moments. Joss is the master. |

*The First Slayer. Actually, the entire episode of Restless.
*"...And still more romantic than Faith"
*"You're a hell of a woman."
*The look on Spike's face when he realizes that Buffy has withdrawn the invitation to her house.
*Harmony as a vampire, regardless of what she's doing.
*Clem, the most supportive of all demons.
*Kitten poker.

The humor. BtVS made me realize that I love SciFi and fantasy ... but only if it brings the funny, too. Too much ponderous self-importance and I'm gone.
Tragically, J. R. R. Tolkien doesn't appear to care.

I'm sorry I didn't see we had a Weetabix. C'mon over to the main board, 'Bix! Make yourself at home!
And, now that you mention it, that's a favorite too--Spike's take on how to eat that nastiest of British breakfast cereals!

I just joined this marvellous forum! I love BtVS! My daughter and I are crazy about it. We love all things Buffy and Spike, and my daughter is a real Angel fan.
But seriously, the best thing about BtVS is the all-encompassing great story-telling. All time faves:
1. Glory/The Key SL in season 5. 'Do you mean, Ben is Glory?' 'So you're saying, Ben and Glory share the same essence?' ROFL
2. Beneath you - this was mentioned above. Heartbreaking scene with Spike resting against the cross which is burning him. Rest indeed.
3. Touched/End of Days/Chosen - hope I got the order right. The resolution to Spike and Buffy, finally! I don't care, I think Spike wanted to say he loved Buffy, but he didn't want to hurt her, just before, you know, getting burnt to a crisp (but he came back, yeah I know)
4. Did I mention Buffy and Spike? Something Blue, Crush, Intervention...that chaste kiss. sigh. And the fact it was Season 5, with Glory, all the better.
5. Once more with feeling.

Hi Atha. Welcome to the best board ever. We're not only all about Buffy, but also Angel, Firefly, Dollhouse and Agents of SHIELD. In fact all things Joss--or really great non-Joss (i.e., Dr Who, etc.)
