Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

Also "Surprise/Innocence," where Oz is pulled into the gang and has the conversation in the van about kissing Willow.

Okay, so: Phases, Beauty and the Beasts, Choices, Wild at Heart, and New Moon Rising. That's five, they're spread fairly evenly through the seasons, thus giving me lead-ins to explain the other season arcs if needed, and should show off the good parts.

Thanks, folks!

Yes. Surprise has the adorable "I'm going to ask you out"—"I said 'date,'" scene. And the kissing conversation that Matt cites above—although it is only a brief moment—is the most romantic exchange I have ever encountered in any medium. Truly.

I've been working on a song about the difference between analogy and metaphor.

I think "Amends" is pretty important, too.

Oh that's right Micole, with the Barry White, and virtuous!Oz. I tend to forget there was non-B/A stuff happening in Amends, but you're right.

ITA. Melts my, um, heart every. single. time.

This, with the Istanbul conversation, also taking place in the van, are the most touching bookends to a relationship I think I have ever seen or read. They did such a lovely job with Oz and Willow.

yes, they did. and if SG hadn't wanted to do movies, Oz would have stayed and Xander would have come out. Rock.

I knew that topless lady had something up her sleeve. - John Prine

Favorite Willow/Oz scene was in "The Wish." Seth was so great.

Willow: What I did... When I think that I hurt you...
Oz: Yeah. You said all this stuff already.
Willow: Right, but... I wanna make it up to you. I mean, if you let me, I wanna try.
Oz: Just... You can leave me alone. I need to figure things out.
Willow: But maybe if we talk about it, we could...
Oz: Look... I'm sorry this is hard for you. But I told you what I need. So I can't help feeling like the reason you want to talk is so you can feel better about yourself. That's not my problem.

More angst & better acting in 45 seconds than in two years of Willow/Tara, IMHO.

I am a much bigger fan of W&T now then I was when it was airing, but I agree with this. I was heartbroken for Willow and Oz, and I never really got there for Willow and Tara. At the end of Tabula Rasa all my angst was for Giles leaving, not W&T breaking up.
