I think my favorite moment of all time is...

"No weapons, no friends, no hope...take all that away and what's left?"

"Me"

• twack*

Gets it done for me every damn time.

Some of mine have already been mentioned, but

The end of "Hell's Bells," with the look on Anya's face when D'Hofryn offers her the chance to re-become a vengeance demon.

Tara falls at the end of "Seeing Red."

Buffy's smile at the end of "Chosen."

Spike breaks down at the end of "The Gift" isn't so much a "this is something big," as a "it always, always gets to me."

One that gets me still is the one that made me fall in love with the show...

XANDER: " Can I have you?"

I'm home sick today, and listening to Radio Sunnydale (UK), an early Christmas gift. Between the music, the photos in the liner, and the Flutter Moments here, I'm really missing the show. Or maybe not the show, but the characters. It's like having really good friends who moved away - I want to hang with them again.

I didn't know that Joss wrote Blue for CwDP. Cool.

I think that's really pushed me to ficness, Raquel...I wasn't done yet.

that fluttery feeling I had in my stomach when that teaser ran, not knowing what was going to happen next

I remember that exact feeling very specifically from the moment when Buffy first sees Angel again (Beauty and the Beast?) after she thought he was dead and thinking "No effing way - what the hell is going to happen now." and then after the commercial I was like "No seriously, what the hell is this show doing - What was the first part of this season about? What is it going to be now? What the hell is going to happen.." I could hardly stand it.

Also - during Tara and Giles' duet in OMWF when I knew they were leaving the show and they were singing about it right there - it was very odd - and I just kept thinking - What are they going to do without Giles?

It may seem silly now - but at the end of the season finale of S6 - when Spike got re-souled. Not trying to bring up the MANY problems with that storyline. But I remember sitting in front of my TV as the credits rolled just totally shocked. And wanting to scream with anticipation as to what was going to happen next.

Most of my big moments have been hit, but there are still a few from my favorite episode "Prophecy Girl" that no one's mentioned:

• Joyce giving Buffy her prom dress and telling her that at 16 everything seems like it's a matter of life & death
• Willow's sobbing reaction to the A/V room deaths—her "they took our world and made it theirs" line in particular—maybe Aly's best performance
• Cordelia's come-with-me-if-you-want-to-live moment mowing down the Master's minions and driving Willow and Miss Calendar to relative safety inside the school (Did anyone else think she'd been called at the moment of Buffy's death?)

And what may be for me the quintessential moment of the entire series: Buffy's "I may be dead, but I'm still pretty."

In OWMF, the final song, where they step away and sing "Where do we go from here?" -- and I didn't know the answer.

Buffy and Riley coming face to face at the end of Hush.

Vamp!Willow and Vamp!Xander sharing a Cordy snack.

Cleveland Buffy killing all her friends and Angel in the Wish-verse.

The cut to Hayden in mid-dust, and Buffy's expression in CwDP.

End of "Lie to Me"

....Buffy: liar

Also "Chosen" As if the core four together in the high school having a very similar conversation to the one at the end of "The Harvest", when they all start going their different directions. I think when it got down to just Buffy and Xander seperating I got a bit of allergies.

Can't remember which order they left in but didn't they all seperate from Buffy in the reverse order that she met them her first day at Sunny"one hall"dale High.
