I've done HSQ and favorite hate moments before, and I couldn't think of anything original to say. What about your favorite small moments? Sometimes no bigger than a pause for breath between larger scenes, character-revealing, relationship-defining, and/or perspective changing moments?

For me, it will always, always, ALWAYS be the scene in "Forever," after Joyce's funeral, of Giles in his apartment, drinking scotch and listening to "Tales of Brave Ulysses."

It's maybe 10 seconds, and all on its own it's poignant, but as a callback to "Band Candy," it's really powerful.

One of my favorite overlooked lines is in "Dopplegangland", I think. Willow and Percy have been called to Snyder's office, and Snyder is explaining to them why they are there. He says (paraphrasing) "With your big brains, and Percy's athletic prowess, well, I think you can guess what I'm getting at," and Willow says in a small, confused voice, "You want us to breed?" It's a total throwaway line, but it cracks me up every time. Because of course that's where Willow's mind goes first!

I love Xander's declaration of love for Anya at the end of that bloody Riley-leaves ep. I... don't know why, really, it just makes me smile.

Sort of similarly, the look on Cordelia's face after catching Xander and Willow making out - the one second when I actually realize that Cordelia really, really liked this boy. I never quite believed it until then, which made the realization in the face of relationship destruction all the more gasp-making. Her falling through the floor or whatever was over the top, I thought, but for a moment, I was totally there.

I've always been fond of, "We few, we happy few..." "...we band of buggered."

Oh, I think "Out. for. a. walk....bitch," is my all time favorite. That pause where he realizes it's only 4 words and just can't quite come up with a good 5th and has to resort to 5th grade name calling. He looks so proud of himself.

Ooh, and because despite myself I am still Spike's bitch, the look on his face in the S6 premiere when he realizes that's really Buffy coming down the stairs.

Giles' and Buffy's shared glance during What Can't We Do is probably my all-time favorite.

For me, the best moment was in "Dead Man's Party" when Giles goes into the kitchen to make tea. That one look so distilled his feelings for Buffy.

No, you're not. I sat here dumbfounded at everyone's love after it aired. Still don't quite get it. I don't HATE it, but I don't get the love.

I swear, some kind of spell was cast by that episode and you all (with the exception of ChiKat) are muppet!Angel-specific pod people.

Anyway.
