Let me clean you ^_^
1) Fred
2) Tara
3) Cordelia
4) Wesley
5) Anya
6) Jenny
7) Angel
8) Buffy (2nd time)
9) Lindsey
10) Lilah
Most of mine are the later deaths (BtVS season 6, Angel season 3 onwards). That's just because of where I started watching them from, so when Buffy died I knew she would come back cos I'd seen it (it still made me cry with that speech!), and I still haven't seen half the stuff leading up to, and including, Joyce's death cos Sky miss those bits out (I do have the DVD's, but I'm watching all the ep's in order and I'm up to Primeval).

Love Isn't Brains
This is really challenging.
1. Joyce ( I think because it was a 'real' death... not mystical. Plus, she was a mom)
2. Buffy (The Gift- how could Buffy die?)
3. Tara (Seeing Red- of course she was killed right after getting back with Willow)
4. Spike (I was shocked. Come on, he saved the world, why does he have to die?)
5. Fred (A Hole in the World. Need I say more?)
6. Wesley (Totally unfair. He should have lived.)
7. Darla (Actually killing herself for her child. Never saw it comin.)
8. Angel (Becoming, pt. II- that was when I could tolerate Buffy/Angel)
9. Jenny (Edge of your seat, nerve-wracking)
10. Anya (Had to watch a couple times before I realized that she was practically cut in half)

Willow Rosenberg
I might be just like you!
I don't know, Spike's death rated on my list because of the emotion and finality of Buffy, but I already knew he was coming back to Angel when I saw it finally, so it didn't affect me as much as most of the others...

Did I mention Lilah? not her death which was sad too but her conversation with or Wes's imagination of a conversation they would have... it was just so... touching?

1. Fred. The death of Fred brought on Illyria, and this is a charcter that I have to 'worship'.
2. Buffy (the Gift). I was yelling at my tv... no buffy. Please don't jump!
3. Tara. I cried.
4. Angel (season two ending). That was an amazing ending. I was not expecting Buffy to have to kill him.
5. Wesley. Did not expect it. Poor Wesley. He lost Fred, had to deal with Illyria, and then dies.
6. Joyce. It was very real, and very scary. It's the most natural death on Buffy ever.
7. Warren. I couldn't believe that Willow killed someone. It was so sad.
8. Spike. Saving the world. Who would have thougt?
9. Jenny. Very dramatic. And she was so close to getting back with Giles.
10. Darla. She sacrificed herself for her son. That was an interesting thing that I did not expect from Darla.

People Dying
Ummm here goes ... can I have ties?
1) Joyce - it was so brutally real and painful.
2) Buffy (Season 5) / Spike - they both died saving the world and the people they loved and both scenes jsut showed you how strong both characters were.
3) Angel - his eyes, he looks straight into Buffy's face and your just like OMG
4) Fred - I loved her and her death was painful and the scene with Wes was really special as he held her
5) Lindsay - his last words
6) Anya - she goes out as one of the lame humans trying to do what's right and she does it well
7) Doyle - He's a hero, he did it for people that he had a tie to
8) Tara - it's so sudden, when I watch it I'm like OMG did that really just happen
9) Jesse - the way it throws Xander and Willow into the vampire world and Xander has to stake him
I only have nine becoz of the tie between Buffy and Spike.
That was hard.

ok, here goes nothing...
1)Spike, 'Chosen'- this was the ultimate death for me. he died as a hero, but then, he always was my hero!
2)Fred, 'A Hole in the World'- i cried buckets in this ep. her last words 'wesley, why can't i stay?' were so moving.
3)Wesley, 'Not Fade Away'- i never expected wes to die, i thought he would be there to the end. when illyria said 'would you like me to lie to you know?' i knew he was going to die.
4)Tara, 'Seeing Red' (?)- she was in the opening credits! i was cheering coz she's finally been made a regular cast member after almost 3 years! and then they killed her!! i was so shocked!
5)Cordelia, 'You're Welcome'- i never expected cordy to be killed off. but her last scene was so beautiful, again, i cried.
7)Anya, 'Chosen'- she died trying to keep the world safe from the uber-vamps and trying to save andrew. she was a true hero.
8)Doyle, 'Hero'- i don't think i have to explain why i loved this death scene. he spent his life trying to surpress his demon side, and in the end, he saved everyone by embracing it.
9)Kendra, 'Becoming, Part2'- i was looking forward to seeing more of kendra, as i really liked her character because she was so different from buffy. but alas it was not to be.
10)Buffy, 'The Gift'- she sacrificed herself to save dawn, which was a truly beautiful thing to do. i fall to pieces everytime i see spike crying in this ep. he was crushed beyond words.

Okay, here goes nothing...
1.) Buffy--The Gift -- I bawled. And bawled. And bawled. Seeing Willow's face afterwards, and Xanders shock, and Giles grief...oh it was awful.
2.) Doyle--Hero -- Cry and cry and cry and cry and cry... no matter how many times I watch it, I cry.
3.) Fred--A Hole In the World -- I can only imagine what Wes went through in that episode.
4.) Wesley--Not Fade Away -- I think he wanted to die, after what happened to Fred. He wanted to be with her....oh God, the scene with Illyria and Wes, while he was dying was so incredibly...touching...."My love....oh my love..."
5.) Cordelia--You're Welcome -- She did such a beautiful job acting the last bit...Angel, too.
6.) Lilah--Calvary -- It was so unexpected...and her death showed us who the beast master was.
7.) Spike--Chosen -- "I want to see how it ends..." and the hands on fire....it was so beautiful. Died like a hero.
8.) Anya--Chosen -- She actually died on the right side....it was very heroic.
9.) Tara--Seeing Red -- She was so awesome, and she brought out the very best in Willow...and she got killed...by a bullet! Ripped out of the world. I was really sad.
10.) Darla--Lullaby -- I really cried when she died....I was growing quite fond of her. (I loved Gunn in this episode... "we hit her hands and feet...with our faces?") I loved how they had her back on in the fourth season as the light in Cordelia's darkness--Darla in all white and Cordelia in all black. It made me sob so hard for Connor....so blind.

8. Buffy
9. Warren (But in a good way, I think he got what was coming to him! Yay Willow!)
That's all I could think of. I haven't seen a lot of Angel, so I couldn't count many of those characters. I wanted to put Angel in Becoming Pt 2, but he didn't die, did he? I thought he just got sent to a hell dimension.
