Progress report

[doyle]

So I've written up about half of experiment 1 (of 5).

That's progress, right?

The rest of my time was spent reading the scripts of The Prom and Flooded for clues to Andrew's pre-supervillain days. The damn SCRIPT for The Prom makes me weepy. So glad my DVDs are at my other house so I can't torment myself even more.



In no particular order:

Jonathan's Class Protector speech in The Prom.

Anya's monologue in The Body about things Joyce is never going to do again.

Doyle's video at the end of Hero. "Is that it? Am I done?" :sniffles:

The last scene in Becoming, as Full of Grace starts and Buffy leaves town.

Angel seeing his reflection in... I think it was In the Dark rather than IWRY, and him stepping into the sunlight on the beach in ItD (I Will Remember You would have had so much more impact for me if Angel hadn't had his day in the sun about four episodes before.) My poor boy's never going to get a happy ending, is he? connorbeast and I had a deeply depressing conversation about this a few nights ago, and decided Angel's going to end up like Lestat at the end of Interview With the Vampire, crazy and alone in the Hyperion. Forever.

The end of The Gift, with the music and the slow-mo dive off the platform and Spike cowering from the sun and the shot of the grave...

Giles finding Jenny's body in Passion and his breakdown outside the factory.

The end of The Wish, as everybody dies.

In summary: I am a big soppy fool.

I am so with you - The Gift always makes me cry and Becoming? ::sob::

I think I may be the only person in the world who bawls when Fred breaks down in Fredless ('just a storybook...'). ;)

Also Faith at the end of 5x5 makes me cry. I think I'm weird.

Wow. I am just so not sentimental. The only moment that has ever made me cry on BtVS is the silent stretch from the time Buffy finds her mother dead, until Giles arrives in "The Body". I just don't cry at television shows (or movies), but I had big fat tears rolling down my face during that scene.

Tugging at my heartstrings, though?

The look on Spike's face when Buffy punches him in the nose in front of Riley in "As You Were", as he realizes that her behavior from the night before was all a lie.

Anya's speech from "The Body"

"Is this blood?" from Blood Ties

Xander lying alone in the snow on Christmas Eve, as his parents have a drunken fight.

Spike collapsing in tears at the end of "The Gift"

Xander telling Buffy "If anything happens to her, I'll kill you" from "When She was Bad".

Spike's desperate, shaky "Make it quick, ok?" from "Sleeper".

my mom watched The Wish and cried and cried and cried, but it's her favorite episode cuz of Giles in that sweater.

I can't watch Rosanne without crying now because I see Mark and think of "Hero" and then I think of Glenn Quinn and..I need a hankie.

I agree with every one of those. For the Doyle scene, though, for me it's not so much Doyle's video as the sight of Angel and Cordy, frozen and silent, unable to take their eyes off the screen even to look at each other. And for Spike-specific scenes, I've only been able to watch the end of "Crush" twice, and the last scene of "Beneath You" is guaranteed to reduce me to quivering emotional Jell-O.
