I am looking forward to a shrieked Giles.
Oh yes. I'm fully expecting "I'd like to test that theory." to get an unbelievable scream of joy.
And monstrously grateful sobbings to the crayon speech.
Mal: That's not what I saw. You like to tell me what really happened? Book: I surely would. And maybe someday I will.
'Safe'
Buffy and Angel 1: BUFFYNANGLE4EVA!!!!!1!
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.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I did it. I was unspoiled for S6 (I don't remember why I decided to be unspoiled, since I was super-spoiled for the other seasons), and I just yelled "GILES!!!!!" at the top of my lungs.
Damn fine entrance.

I just yelled "GILES!!!!!" at the top of my lungs.
yep, me too. (us, actually, I think that I was watching with people)
Damn fine entrance.
Top 5. Not just Buffy, but ever.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I don't remember whether I yelled or what I yelled, but I can vividly recall watching that moment for the first time in my dorm room.

Not sure anything beats Senor Chang in "Modern Warfare." EVER.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I don't remember whether I yelled or what I yelled, but I can vividly recall watching that moment for the first time in my dorm room.
I remember watching it on my friend Chip's massive plasma TV when I visited him after the Chicago F2F. He had never seen Buffy before but gamely watched it with me, and I had to explain why I just yelled, "Giles!"
It's fun reading that thread because it's about 14 people in a row posing, "GILES!!1!"

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
I watched that episode with the Boston-area Buffistas -- the first time I'd met most of them -- and we ALL yelled "GILES!!!!!!" Still one of my favorite experiences of communal fannish glee.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Even better than that was when my BIL's cell phone rang right after the fade to commercial--he's a complete non-geek who had spent the day grilling a geeky co-worker for details about Buffy so he'd be prepared for the evening. We all screamed "GILES!!!!!!!", fade to black, his phone rings, and it's his co-worker saying, "I just realized that I forgot to update you on one very important thing, so I'm calling to explain to you why everyone around you just screamed GILES!!!!!!"
