Small/Overlooked Moments and Scenes You Enjoy?

[hoponlilmama]

They're not significant to the plot, they're not overly shocking, but they're the minor moments, cleverly written that stay with you.
I was thinking about this recently, and a few off the top of my head:

-I've always loved the moment in Innocence that Willow realises that Buffy slept with Angel and tells Giles to shut up.
-Xander punching the wall in The Body. He's off-camera, we're so focused on others and their pain in the scene, and all of a sudden you hear a noise. We cut to Xander and realise that he is hurting too (physically and emotionally).
-The scene in Two To Go, where Dark Willow slowly transports Buffy from Rack's to the Magic Box, all the while Dark Willow is verbally letting Buffy have it. I love the camera work in that scene.
-Spike in A New Man - when Giles stumbles upon him and Spike has his tape measure, casually measuring up a crypt as a potential new home cracks me up every time. 😂


What are some of yours? Please share!

The background events can often be the best. One example that springs to mind is on Pylea, when Lorne is talking to his mother and you can see Angel behind him, mouthing "Mom?"

I'm going with a scene from *Guise Will Be Guise."

Bryce: "She was a virgin before you got here."

Virginia: "I was *not* a virgin!"

Bryce: "What?"

Wesley: "Oh, thank goodness."

Gunn: "I could have told you she was no virgin."

Angel: "I'm not a eunuch."

Cordy: "One day as Angel, one day! - and he's getting some."

- Each time Buffy, Willow, and Xander ended up group hugging. 😀 I'm actually surprised that they never had a group hug that included Giles!
- Pretty much every time The Master was dramatic and then said something silly. Like that time he asked The Annoying One what he'd rate the earthquake he just caused. 😆
- The scene my avatar is from, when Giles laughs heartily at a Xander joke. A very rare occurence. Moon pies were involved.
- When Buffy drinks an entire carton of milk to piss off her roommate. 🤣
- The confrontation between Riley and Angel. I always thought it was hilarious. But maybe that one is not minor enough!
- When Faith was torturing Wesley and she threw the piece of glass out the window. She had this small moment where she stared outside and looked sad and tired. Then she went back to playing the psycho. You could see under the mask in that moment.
- Angel and Wesley exchanging a look when they split up to fight the Circle of the Black Thorn. 🙁 I knew then that Wes wasn't making it.

List could be very long. These are the ones I could think of.

In Faith, Hope & Trick, Faith mentions Giles being hot and Buffy says "Raise your hand if ew" and you see Xander raise his hand but not Willow, and I always loved that little indication of Willow's crush on Giles.

Connected to that, there's Willow's photo of her and Giles in her locker. In the background, but there if you look.
