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.

I cry in -- I think -- 3 different spots in "The Prom" -- Angel dumping Buffy in the sewers (his dialogue hits a little too close to home), "I can't breathe," and pretty much as soon as we see Jonathan on stage to present the Class protector award.

Anya's fruit punch speech always makes me cry. The end of Becoming II, as soon as Buffy realizes what re-souled!Angel + Acathla means -- she just gets that LOOK, and it's all over for me. Angel looking in the windows at the end of "Home."

And baseball!Slayer getting her power in Chosen. Which just gave me goosebumps, even thinking about it.

t edit

Oh, yeah -- Family. When the Scoobies stick up for Tara, I lose it. Right when Buffy says "You're just gonna have to go through *me*."

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.

Oh, yeah. God DAMN, the first time I saw that episode, that scene upset me hugely. When her dad tells her that her crying is manipulative, or not adult, or something like that.

And baseball!Slayer getting her power in Chosen. Which just gave me goosebumps, even thinking about it.

Me too. Still. I know it makes me a big schmoopy sap, but I still have Chosen on Tivo, and every once in awhile I'll watch just the Slayer power montage, and it always gets me.

Oh! Yes, those too.

Joyce will never get to have fruit punch again. sniff

"Close your eyes" - sob

Oh, yeah.

I forgot about that. Yep. That, too.

I've never lost it harder at anything then I did during the last 20 minutes of Chosen, starting with the girl power montage. But The Body, The Gift, Becoming, Amends, and IWRY all come close. Oh, and the end of Home. Thank god those two weren't on the same night. Anyone remember having a hard time dealing with "There's No Place Like Pltz Grlb" because you were still broken up over The Gift?

And just as I got calmed down, along came Willow and made me cry again.

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.

That scene made me cry while I was listening to the commentary track. That's how good it is.

TinyBaseball!Slayer was my least favorite part of the grrrl power montage. If my eyes had rolled any more, they'd have fallen out. t /soulless, obviously

I wave my baseball bat (the one I keep under my bed, in case anyone breaks in and decides they don't want an intact ribcage) threateningly in your direction....

Baseball!Slayer pinged me just because I've played it my whole life.

I must be a heartless monster compared to most of the posters here, because a lot of the above moments didn't touch me deeply at all. IWRY and "The Prom" just strike me as schmaltzy (OK, well-written schmaltz, I guess) and I was so ready for the B/A ship to sink that they couldn't have wrung a tear out of me if one or the other died of consumption in the episode.

There are only a handful of moments that have made me get misty: Buffy's "I'm sixteen and I don't want to die" and Willow's "they made it their world" lines in "Prophecy Girl," Willow crying over Jenny Calendar's death in "Passion," Buffy and Dawn's scene at the end of "Forever." I think I saved all my Buffy-related crying up for the initial airing of "The Body" and spent it in one fell swoop.

I think the saddest moment ever for me was when Buffy went to collect Dawn from school in The Body and told her Joyce had died. We see her collapse through the glass. So. Effin. Sad.
