I'm curious, what are some moments that still affect people from more minor episodes like DMP? Things that you've watched five times that still make you laugh hysterically or yell at the TV or hide behind the sofa.

Not Buffy, but pretty much the whole opening party scene in SHE on Angel is priceless. "Diego, pants on!"; "What mad genius invented these?"; " I don't dance"; "Still dead? I know the feeling."

It's a shame the rest of episode is pretty much worthless.

What about "Happy Anniversary"????

Um, what about it? Lots of nice interactions between Angel and Lorne. Lame main story, but I liked physics nerd girl and was sorry she never showed up again.

One of my favorite minor moments from a minor episode by tina f.

Faith, Hope & Trick
In the hallway, Buffy tells Giles that Faith has a three. But the moment I love is a second later when he goes off on a tangent about the Watcher's retreat ("All right. I'll see if I can reach her Watcher at the retreat. They're eight hours ahead now. I guess they're probably sitting down to a nightcap. I wonder if they still kayak. I used to love a good kayak. You see, t-they don't even consider..."). Buffy walks off screen and then turns around, comes back and gives him the ultimate look of frustration and he comes back to the topic at hand "Sorry. I digress."

No matter how many times I have seen that episode and despite how many good moments there are in it - that's my favorite. I love the second of rare "insight into Giles," and how much it shows how alike Giles and Buffy can be (easily distracted and memememe), the role reversal of it all... And it is excellently punctuated by SMG leaving the screen for just a second then coming back into the same shot.

Emotionally, one of my favorite minor moments is (prepare to be shmooped): Buffy wiping Spike's face off in the basement after he bit Andrew in Never Leave Me and he asks if he hurt anybody. ("You took a good bite out of Andrew." "Who?" "Tucker's brother." "Oh.") Much more so for me than the "I believe in you" a few moments later, I think this is a moment that shows how different Buffy's relationship with Spike is from anything else. He is chained up and she is carefully wiping somebody's blood off his face. I like it.

And wasn't that the "leather pants" shout-out ep? t /fangirl

And wasn't that the "leather pants" shout-out ep?

I thought that was in Epiphany, when Angel goes to Lorne after leaving Darla?

I honestly can't remember.

I just watched the other night - it's Epiphany.

That was a Tim ep, no? Epiphany, I think.

Heh. X-Post.

My mind has excised the L/A bits of Happy Anniversary and put them elsewhere. It ruins the run through to Dead End for me.

I'm even willing to let Disharmony into my S3 best of all time, but I just can't make it to the Deathwok clan. It's so incredibly out of place.
