Same here. Though I found Book's death to be Joss's least impressive: predictable, cliched, and merely plot-driven.
Yeah, with Book, I felt the safeness that others felt from Wash. With Wash, I had no safeness. Just gutwrenching shock and sorrow.

Is it better the second time around? Or the third? Or tenth? This is the place to come when you have a burning desire to talk about an old episode that was just re-run.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
I wept and wept and had to hide in a bathroom stall at the theatre after the movie.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
You know, my allergies flared up during TNT's airing of "I will remember you."
Whew. Good morning, Monday. What a fucking heartbreaking episode. Never fails to get me.

That was the first one where I really had allergies. My eyes had itched before, but "I felt your heartbeat" broke me.

The middle was cheesy as hell, but the end broke me. Up until then, I really didn't get the Buffy/Angel shippers at all. Still not my OTP, but I could finally see it.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore
I was going through media cd's i'd made over the years last night and i came upon a Buffy one with clips like Spike's monologue in In the Dark about Angel being a big fluffy puppy with bad teeth, Giles singing Behind Blue Eyes and other such gems. really made me miss the show and i totally put them on the metallipod.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
..you have a metallipod?
Oops. Wrong thread.
And see, Buffy/Angel was always my OTP. I thought Buffy and Spike were cute in Something Blue, but for me a little Spike goes a long way, sort of like cilantro, and I hated the whole time they were a couple. Although I really liked the Spike and Dawn interaction. I'd rather have seen them make something real out of Buffy and Riley than try and maintain the Buffy/Spike relationship. I realize I'm in the minority, but there you go.
Then again, I watched from ep.3 and caught up when the WB aired BtVS two nights a week, so I watched Buffy/Angel from the get-go, from when DB really was smart as a box of hair onscreen.
IWRY utterly broke me. I saw the narrative necessity for the breakup, it felt organic and earned to me, in a way B/S never did.
::shrugs:: Eh, different strokes.

indeed. that's what i named my iTouch.
i'm a B/A 'shipper too. much like Beverly, i liked them in Something Blue, but i grew weary of them as a "couple". Fool For Love is probably one of my favorite Spike/Buffy eps.
never liked Riley. never ever ever. Marc is a sweetheart though.

I didn't really like him until the "but she doesn't love me" scene with Xander. Really incredible moment. And, you know that I love me a midwestern farm boy.
