Sheepish sloppy spot in my heart for IWRY.
Things that get me: IWRY, Buffy breaking down while doing dishes in Listening to Fear, "I can't breathe", Wesley returning to his apartment in Double or Nothing and again with the wordless Wes angst in the way he just sort of breaks after decapitating Lilah's corpse in Salvage, Connor in Home.
Hmm. There are probably more moments.
I think the Class Protector award is the first place I cried, in series chronology, but I'm not sure if I cried the first time I saw it. I
know
I cried on first viewings of The Body, and The Gift (because of Dawn and Spike, mostly), but not sure of any others that didn't involve Amanda fighting.
But my most reliable crypoint is Zoe in War Stories. I get tingly just thinking about that.
I also always tear at "The Prom" - Class Protector. *sniff*
Wrod. Always.
I have to mute/turn it off before it gets to the last dance though because I hate how SMG and DB keep *looking* at each other OVER and OVER, it is so unnatural and that song ("Wild Horses" by the Sundays) is ruined for me by a very bad Marky Mark movie.
My biggest HSQ moment? Giles return with "I'd like to test that theory." Because I was completely unprepared for it. Not one jot spoiled.
I actually screamed with glee at the TV. I really don't usually do that. Usually. But it was "Giles!!!!!"
Mighta had more HSQ moments, but by the time I started watching Buffy, I kinda knew pretty much all the surprises.
(tina, you really really need to delete that. it's spoilery in this thread.)

I had a chat window open with people watching, and this thread.
So many people typing Giles!!!!! at once.
Good times, good times.
Super super sorry about that. I wasn't thinking. Thanks Jess.
eta: This confuses me, though. It's a spoiler to mention a cast change that isn't a spoiler in the AtS thread here? I thought the rule was a two-week wait whitefonted here for AtS stuff - which can't really apply in this scenario?
I'm really just curious. NOT trying to start a what's-a-spoiler-and-what-isn't debate.
Dear lord ignore me please.
Casting spoilers discussed in thier threads only. It's right there in the FAQ.
Really. Going home now.
Summer Casting Rules are new, and strange.
I'm just a single ho, lookin' out for the virgins...
