Oh! That's a shame- it does take some of the power out of it. But even so- pretty powerful, huh?
Well, look at you. All dressed up in big sister's clothes.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Not talking about Spike.
Gammon with honey and pineapple.
Am-Chau, by this you mean bacon, right? Cured pork? I've never heard the word "gammon" except as part of a children's song, and as the name of one of the crazy lady's sparrows in Bleak House. I got into a wicked argument with my prof over whether the bird was named after the children's song. Anyway, do modern unAmericans use "gammon" all the time?

Actually, I think I started crying about a third of the way through the scene. By the end I was absolutely sobbing, almost uncontrollably, more than I can remember doing ever for Buffy except at the end of Becoming, the first dozen or so times t grin.
But I tend to do that these days whenever something makes me cry. Not to overshare, but I think I have some banked-up tears from my Mum's death two years ago, my illness last year, etc etc etc.

By gammon I mean cured pork, yes. I've always used it. Children's song? Never heard of it. Enlighten me?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I rewatched the teaser and the last five minutes of The Gift last night, and then the end of "There's No Place Like..." Still makes me cry.

Absolutely. But there was no HSQ, and the dramatic buildup was lost on me to some extent, because I was distracted by thinking, "Oh! This must be that scene! So he's going to... okay, yeah, wait, what did he say?" etc. etc.
I dislike being spoiled. Hmph.

I think I used up my tears for today earlier in the evening; I was reading a book in which a dog dies, and since that is pretty much the one thing guaranteed to make me ALWAYS bawl like a baby, I guess I was all cried out by the time Buffy came around.
Damn, I want to rewatch right now!

What did you hate, specifically, Rebecca? Or just 'everything about it'?
