Just rewatched "Smile Time" off my DVD, then, since it was on there, rewatched "Hole in the World." My god, watching Fred die was even more heart wrenching.
My slashy soul adores that, not long after telling Spike he has to get out of LA, Angel's depending on him as the go-to guy for tough, physical jobs. And I know the word is over used, but Angel even called him a champion. "Hold my hand." "St. Petersburg!" "I didn't think you remembered."
Sigh.
Hec's list is basically mine, but I'd replace "I Will Remember You" with "The Body" and bump off "Conversations with Dead People" in favor of her work in "Forever" or "Nightmares."
I still think "Prophecy Girl" is the best acting she's ever done.
Okay, so this may be the cutest thing ever.

Astrid blows me away. I've seen the sketches on her LJ over the months, and I'm filled with talent envy.
Which Buffy EP was it where Xander(?) says, "How? What? How?" (or something similar), and Giles(?) replies, "Three excellent questions!" (or something similar)?
Something Blue.
He says it in response to Buffy telling him that she and Spike are getting married.
John H's Buffyology database has a search box on the front page that would have helped you find it too.
