Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

The Sanctuary. The list of episodes on the bar on the side may help remember.

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

A trio of favorites from Deep Down:

1) HSQ: Chained Justine in Wes' closet.
2) Bwah!: "I'll take away your bucket."
3) DB's really good: The "Daddy's not finished talking" scene, w/ the added bonus of Connor getting smacked around.

Bonus: Wes and Lilah gettin' it on. SR's a lovely woman.

Um.

Bonus: Wes and Lilah gettin' it on. SR's a lovely woman.

Indeed.

Wesley shooting his "father" stood out for me. It spoke volumes about where he had been and how he had progressed.

Hey. New board.

the replay of the Doyle video at the end of "Hero"

This. (sniff. or, rather, sob.)

Also, the Dance of Joy. And the Dance of Honor. I forced some Buffy-reluctant friends to watch this, and they laughed for a very long time, and admitted that there may indeed be parts of the Buffyverse that are worth something.

The opening scene in "Fredless." ("Oh, Buffy, I was so happy I almost forgot to brood!" "Oh, no!")

Wesley/Fred kiss. I was a shipper for them for so long that it was like an orgasm after years of slow love-making. Hell, I was shipping for them from Fred's introduction to the series (except for the brief, one-episode moment when I was a hardcore Fred/Willow shipper.)

Emergence of Illyria. "This will do." The look in Wesley's eyes.

And, to be repetitive and boring, how can you not love the closing the door on the lawyers?

Okay, that may be it. I miss Doyle. That is all.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Spike's "to the Angelmobile, away!" speech was also a thing of glory.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Lindsey's "Evil Hand Issues" speech.

Wes taking a bullet for Gunn.

Good times, good times.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."

Too many things are coming up for me to not make a bigger list:

I agree with Wes shooting his "father" in an instant when Fred was threatened and the Puppet!Angel powerwalk. Smile Time in its entirety, really. Going further back, I cried like a little girl during "I Will Remember You", and I'm not even a Buff'n'Angle4EVAH-ist; the dancing in "She"; Cordy, Gunn, and Wes singing "We are the Champions" at Ceritas; the re-vamping of Darla. "A Hole in the World" and "Shells" were, for me, two of the most painful hours of television ever (in a good, weepy way). Yep, there really is too much to list...and I shall stop, for I can't get all sniffly this early- there's still.......8 hours and 6 minutes to go before it starts!

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

8 hours and 6 minutes to go before it starts!

There's not enough time.

AD's performance in "Billy".

t sap "I'll never forget" t who am I kiddng, the "sap" tag never closes

The elevator ride in "Reprise".

Pretty much anythng that has to do with AYNOHYEB - I can't even pick a single moment, so many in that episode were great.

Numfar (because it converted the husband of a good friend of mine - he wasn't willing to watch anything regarding that "Buffy thing of yourse", but after he couldn't stop laughing from the dance of joy, he agreed to go along).

Darla staking herself.

I've only seen up to the third season, too, so there's a lot that you may be writing that I've still got no opinion about.

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

Hi, Michelvis.

Practically everything everyone's said, plus: "I wasn't thinking of you while you were here."
