I don't know, Hal Sparks is pretty involved in those and I want to throttle him. He's okay on QaF but so annoying in real life. Yuck.
I think what my daughter's trying to say is: nyah nyah nyah nyah.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
It was because of my love of the books that I loathed the television show.
IIRC, the first season of the show was pretty close to the books - there were a couple of episodes that were really just filmed chapters with a bit of added dialogue to pad things out. Which my small-child self loved, and which led to my first book-geek hissyfit later on in the run of the show, when it wandered away from the prairie proper and drifted into Crazy Melty Land, also known as Michael Landon's Love of Michael Landon Writ Large And All Over Your Screen.
And, more on-topic, I occasionally cry at the Class Protector award, but I always cry at the way Giles looks at Buffy when she walks up to get it.

Nobody
Being a manly man I don't cry at TV shows, however, if I were to, I'd probably shed a tear at the moments Cindy mention, with the exception of the class protector, which I just fucking loathed and is one of my all time low points in Buffy.
Are you on the drugs again? What do you hate about it? What makes it a low point?
And, more on-topic, I occasionally cry at the Class Protector award, but I always cry at the way Giles looks at Buffy when she walks up to get it.
It's the whole combination for me. There isn't one moment that makes me cry, it's all of that scene, and later (maybe the next scene?) Giles says something like, "I had no idea that children - en masse - could be gracious."

All is well that ends in pizza.
UTTAD, I can't imagine what kind of high school experience you had whereupon the Class Protector Award would make you feel it is a low point.
Indifferent? yes, I can understand that. But hate the CPA? I am puzzled.

I'm with UTTAD on that one, and it has less to do with my own high school experience than with my aversion to sappiness and blatant emotional manipulation. I'm almost surprised that the band doesn't break out violins for the Very Special Buffy Moment.

I know what you're saying, Matt. It still worked for me, though.

Me, too. I guess my own mizerable experience in high school made me cheer for Buffy who could do all these things and no one seemed to notice or care.

Thank god I'm not the only one. It just...I don't know why it bugs me so much, but it's pure watch-from-the-hall for me, and I have a pretty high tolerance for schmaltz.

Class Protector is a major high point for me too.
