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!!!!!"
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...

We were viewing at meara's house, and you could have heard our shrieks half a block away.
I think my landlord, who lives downstairs, thinks I have a lover named Giles.
And an abusive boyfriend named Tim?
And an abusive boyfriend named Tim?
**snerk**
"Tim! You bastard!"
IWRY is a weepy episode for me, but the one thing that always makes me cry is Oz leaving. "In my whole life, I've never loved anything else." I lose it every. single. time.
You people have all broken me. All of you. *shaky fist*
I never cry at TV (except when Mary went blind on Little House On the Prairie). Never. Not cancer movies. Not dead baby movies. Never. Never. Never ever.
But Mutant Enemy is a bastard.
S1
WTTH/TH: I cried when Xander joined Buffy in the sewers with a flashlight. I didn't see WTTH/TH, until after I'd seen some of season 3. So granted, I already loved them. But it made me sniffly.
In Nightmares - doesn't Hank tell Buffy the divorce is her fault? I think that broke me. If I didn't cry, I was close.
S2
Surprise:
I think it was the sex. *sniff*
Innocence:
That bedroom scene. The "I can't breathe" scene
Passion:
When Giles finds Jenny, and then when Buffy and Willow break down when they get the phone call about Jenny. In that second scene, there's not even any dialogue (well, I think Angelus is narrating the Passion ditty), but it breaks me.
I Only Have Eyes for You:
Several points, but mostly when Buffy gets that she was empathizing with the boy.
Becoming:
When she answers Angel's question about what she's got left. *sniff*
S3
Amends:
When Buffy stops Angel from killing himself (sue me)
The Prom:
Both the class protector award scene and the dancing with Angel
S4
Wild At Heart:
"My whole life, I've never loved anything else."
Cross-Over Time - I Will Remember You is funcking deadly.
New Moon Rising:
"You have to be with the one you love." "I am." and "Istanbul." Both scenes slay me.
Primeval:
The enjoining spell.
The Replacement:
When Cap'n Cardboard says, "She doesn't love me." I don't even like Cap'n Cardboard. How pathetic am I, exactly?
Family:
When W/T do the floaty dance. I was fairly anti-T when she first appeared on the show. By New Moon Rising I liked her. By Family, I loved her.
Listening to Fear:
Nobody should cry while doing the dishes whilst listening to Salsa. Just nobody. My poor girl.
I Was Made to Love You:
"Mom? Mom? Mommy?"
The Body:
I think too many scenes to mention.
Forever:
"How's forever? Does forever work for you?" Also? When Dawn rips up the picture of Joyce.
The Gift:
I literally cried for days. Dammit.
After Life:
"147 days. 148 today, but today doesn't count..." and "I think I was in heaven."
Tabula Rasa:
I have to say, I felt very manipulated by the end of this. I also felt cheated by the montage while Michelle Branch sang. Didn't stop me from crying for Giles, and for Willow and Tara, though.
Normal Again:
When Buffy didn't kiss Joyce goodbye.
Entropy:
"Things fall apart. They fall so fast..." (poor foamy Tara)
Grave:
Frigging breaky yellow crayon
S7
Lessons:
When Buffy shares her strength with Willow
Chosen:
The end.
I think how little I cried while watching season 7 must mean something.
