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.

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.

Oh! Yes, those too.

Anya's fruit punch speech always makes me cry.

Joyce will never get to have fruit punch again. sniff

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.

"Close your eyes" - sob

Angel looking in the windows at the end of "Home."

Oh, yeah.

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*."

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.

Tangentially, I'll note that I just bought Emmett his first baseball bat today.

See, this has me just as misty as baseball!Slayer. Maybe it's something about the baseball....
