Buffy 4: Grr. Arrgh.
This is where we talk about Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No spoilers though?if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it. This thread is NO LONGER NAFDA. Please don't discuss current Angel events here.
Has Giles EVER, in 7 seasons, said "I love you, Buffy"?
Does anyone doubt that, at least for the first 6 seasons, he does?
I'm not sure. He's come close (notably at the beginning of FFL - but that was showing at it's highest). And that's a great example, Teppy. Because if Giles said that now (well, at the end of S6) - I wouldn't feel like yelling, "You're TELLING" because it's been well established by his actions throughout the years. In the same vein, when Quentin told Giles, "You have a father's love for the child, Rupert," that's a telling that worked, because it had already been shown, in Helpless itself, and in the series as a whole.
Ass I think...but that really makes no sense. Perhaps asshole?
Offtopic: What does the "A" in "Fuckin' A" stand for?
Arse or arshole
But of course, it's used so that that makes no sense. But that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

mmmm worms
Eh, people always have beefs. Unnamed sources gossiping in a tabloid are not the most reliable sources.
Where is this AH interview being refered to? (Yes, I skipped a buncha messages.)

Umm, a couple messages back. Maybe ten or 15?

nit: "And it grieves me cuz I love you so" OMWF
Fury thought that the scene in Helpless didnt really need Quentin's "You have a father's love for the child."
He felt it was shown. In the end, they decided to tell, anyway. I always thought the scene didn't need the line. I had been shown that Giles loved Buffy as a daughter, time and again. I didnt need friggin Travers to tell me what I had been shown.
FX is showing "The Prom" right now. I have already cried at:
Buffy: "I want my life to be with you."
Angel: "I don't."
And
"I can't breathe, Will! I feel like I can't breathe...."
And it's almost time for the Class Protector award.

And when Xander tells Buffy (cudgeling my memory here), "Riley really loves you, and you're being a moron 'cause you really love him too, but you're being stubborn and you'll lose him forever," it worked for me since to my mind that had already been shown over the course of the season. So for me, that speech showed the "sees through other people's bullshit" ability that's one of Xander's main characteristics, even though he was entirely talking about other people's feelings.
Jilli - it's at buffy.nu It's the FHM interview.

There are a bunch of links there with Amber and James mentioning how they love Sarah. Maybe Star Magazine's unnamed source was a wardrobe person, and erm... if SMG was bitchy to them this season, I can understand why. I actually missed the eye-bleed-causing ensemble from The Replacement this season.

It worked for me, because I can buy that Giles needed to be told.
