[zobothehobo]

Angel (becoming) - I felt SO bad for Buffy!!!
Cordelia (lovers walk lol) - haha I'm going to go with Your Welcome... I was like "Whatev" I really didn't care for "mature" Cordy
The Master - I was like whatev... to be honest
Warren - "YAY! GO WILLOW GO WILLOW GO WILLOW"
Jenny - "Good for you Angelus. Good for you"
Anya - "WHAT?!?!?!? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Tara - "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MY TARA!!!!! AND WILLOW!!! AND TILLOW!!!!!!!!! WHAT?!??!?! KLAJDKLFJLDKAF I DO NOT ACCEPT THIS"
Buffy (the gift/prophecy girl) - Both time "WHAT THE HELL?! WHAT KIND OF SHOW KILLS IT'S MAIN/TITLE CHARACTER"
Giles (led us to believe he was killed by bringers) - "Good riddance."
Jonathan - *tear* No! I liked him!
Glory/Ben - Whatev...
Faith (at least I thought she was dead in grad day, falling off the roof) - Thank god!
Spike - I don't consider it a death. When I watched, I knew he was coming back in Ats. Which would be the next episode I watched so it really wasn't a death for me.
Joyce- "Poor Buffy. Poor poor Buffy"

 

[xfivebyfive]

Angel - I watched this after seeing Angel so I wasn't that upset.

Cordelia - She didnt die in Lover's walk.
Now talking about You're Welcome that killed me. I was very upset. I knew it was coming but it was still so hard to watch. It was a beautiful episode but sad.

Warren - I wanted to dance 😀

Jenny - I cried I really liked Jenny and that episode makes me cry when I watch it.

Anya - DEAD!! It kills me when I see her die I close my eyes now I can't watch it cause it makes me so sad.

Tara - I have never cried harder to a character death then when I watch Tara. The first time I watched this episode with my mom (it was her first time my second) and I cried so hard that she didnt cry cause she was worried about me lol.

Buffy - It still makes me really sad to watch the Gift but because it's beautiful.

Giles -

Spoiler

One of the few times a comic made me cry :'(

Faith - She didn't die. She never died.

Spike - I cried but I knew he came back so I wasn't that upset. But it still made me cry :'(

Joyce - That episode is so depressing. I can't watch it. I think I've only seen it a twice. I liked Joyce, but its more the episode then her death that kills me.

 

[Carrrrgh]

When I said "lovers walk" for Cordelia up above, it's because I haven't watched Ats fully yet so I wasn't sure when or how she gets killed off.

And as for why I put "lovers walk" it's because they led us to believe she was dead when she fell down the stairs and was impaled by that metal thing.

 

[HalloweenRain]

Angel (becoming)-Oh no stupid Xander! why couldn't you just tell her about Willow's second attempt!!! Bad Xander,BAD!
Cordelia (you're welcome)-Didn't see it.
The Master-Take that! You fruit-punch-mouth-having LOSER!!!
Warren-Eww anyone with a chest that hairy DESERVES to get skinned!
Jenny-Poor Giles, Don't worry, I can take her place!
Anya-NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!*started to cry* I'm serious...I really did cry
Tara-WHAT?! But she was in the cast line up!!!
Buffy (the gift/prophecy girl)-Freaking Dawn couldn't just be stronger and beat her to the punch, stupid Dawn.
Giles (led us to believe he was killed by bringers)-Nooo, please God, I swear I'll never call my sister a b*tch again if you just let him live!
Jonathan-Sweet Jonathan, you'll always be in my heart.
Glory/Ben-Oh Shnit! Giles? Really? Okay I guess so, makes sense.
Faith (at least I thought she was dead in grad day, falling off the roof)-Oh crap, now she's not gonna get fed to angel...how's he gonna make it through?
Spike-Poor spike...Wow, he's even sexy when he's dying.
Joyce- *cries*

 

[patriot1123]

Giles (led us to believe he was killed by bringers) - "Good riddance."

Huh????? Seriously? Such indifference to the (seeming) death of one of the core four?

---------- Post added at 10:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:51 PM ----------

Angel (becoming) I felt bad for Buffy
Warren shocked for Willow's sake
Jenny SO SHOCKED
Anya Incredibly sad
Tara One of the few major deaths I wasn't spoiled for -- totally shocked
Buffy (the gift/prophecy girl) I knew she didn't die.
Giles (led us to believe he was killed by bringers) I never believed he died.
Joyce I was totally spoiled, but it was still shocking

 

[caitaintdead]

Angel - Sucks to be Buffy, but hopefully that means less romance and more girl power and fighting.

Cordelia - Like zobo said it would have been much harder to see Cordy die in Seasons 1-3ish of Angel. She hadn't been there all season so I had kind of assumed she was already dead. It didn't really phase me much.

The Master - I knew it was coming, but I felt great for Buffy.

Warren - I cheered. Good riddance to bad rubbish.

Jenny - I was heartbroken... And shocked. I just felt so terrible for Giles. And the entire episode is just hard to watch.

Anya - I thought it was a poor way to kill off Anya. She should have gone out as a hero. She deserved that much.

Tara - The most shocking death of the series. I was in shock. I couldn't cry or be angry until the following episode when I realised it was real and they weren't going to bring her back.

Buffy - I guess I kind of knew that she would come back, but it was still sad. Buffys death in The Gift made me cry the first time I saw it, and has sprung the waterworks a few times since.

Giles - Sif they'll kill off Giles... Little did I know.

Jonathan - Awww why'd they do that for?!? Couldn't they have killed off Andrew?

Glory/Ben - Poor Ben, sucks to be him

Faith - Meh. Can we get on with the story without her now?

Spike - *tear* what a hero.

Joyce - One of the most depressing hours of television followed her death. You don't want to know the depressing thoughts going through my head!

 

[Carrrrgh]

Faith - Meh. Can we get on with the story without her now?

My exact reaction. I was so done with her, wanted her to just be gone!

 

[Icarium]

My reactions varied between "Holy crap!", "Finally! What took you so long?" and "Screw you, Joss!". Sometimes two of the above were applicable. Oh, and there was "Thank god I read spoilers, so I know you are going to resurrect him and I won't be depressed for weeks when I actually see it happen" in the case of Spike.

 

[patriot1123]

zobothehobo agrees: I didn't like Giles much... Leaving Buffy in season 6 was pretty unforgivable IMO.

I've explained before ... although I hated Giles leaving, I loved that he left because the actor was doing the right thing by his family. Thus, I can live with it. Plus, there's that little raging crush thing going, too. 🙂

 

[Zeppo]

Angel (Becoming) - I remember thinking how momentous it was. Even as a kid I knew that it was a big deal; they killed the male love interest! BALLS-Y!

Cordelia (lovers walk lol) - Lover's Walk freaked me out, that got me.
You're Welcome is still the biggest TV shock ever for me. I jumped outta my seat when Angel asks when she died, did not see it coming. It's lame to say, but I'm still not over it.

The Master - Yay!

Warren - That was gross!

Jenny - Scary, I can't believe Angel did that.

Anya - Knew it was inevitable, didn't dig the quickness of it as I was biased though it made sense in the story; in war there's casualties. Still, not a good pay-off for us.

Tara - HOLY #$%^&*, oh no!!

Buffy (the gift/prophecy girl) - ...

Giles (led us to believe he was killed by bringers) - Oh, speechless.

Jonathan - What does this mean??

Glory/Ben - Yes, yes!!

Faith (at least I thought she was dead in grad day, falling off the roof) - Another one bites the dust. Oh, nevermind.

Spike - YES! Oh, and that was a nice sendoff. But it sucked cause I knew he'd cross over to Angel. :/

Joyce - What! I think this one is for real. Also, when are people gonna stop leaving the show??? Oz, Angel, Cordy, Riley, now Joyce??

 

[Bexieh]

Angel (becoming) - Awwwhh :'(
Cordelia (lovers walk lol) - Oh noooooo! (In lovers walk. I haven't seen far enough in Angel yet.)
The Master - Hells yeeeaaah.
Warren - Willow! You go girl! But uhhh...wait a minute...
Jenny - AWH GILES D:
Anya - WHATTHEWHAAAAT
Tara - NO. NO. NO. NUH UH. NOT HAPPENING. :'( ARE YOU KIDDING ME, WHEDON?
Buffy (the gift/prophecy girl) - She'll be back. :'(
Giles (led us to believe he was killed by bringers) - Noooo...
Jonathan - Awhhh bless.
Glory/Ben - That's what you get.
Faith (at least I thought she was dead in grad day, falling off the roof) - *mixed feelings*
Spike - Oh noooooooooo :'( LOVE HIM BUFFY!
Joyce - Joyce was the worst death for me. Maybe 'cause it was natural causes or something. But that whole episode was horrible. I still cry. Every time.

 

[thevikingsgirl]

I'll just say for the ones I had reactions to that I remember.

Angel (becoming) - I cried. It was so sad.
Warren - "Ewwww, that was nasty."
Jenny - I felt really sad for Giles. I didn't care about Jenny much though.
Anya - This was horrible! It happened so fast, I wasn't sure I even saw it. I had to back it up and watch it again. Then they just left her there, and her death seemed so glossed over. I hated it. I thought she deserved better.
Tara - I loved Tara. Her death was really terrible. It was senseless and made me angry.
Buffy (the gift/prophecy girl) - Prophecy Girl didn't affect me much but The Gift was SO sad! I'm glad I watched them on disk, because I knew there were 2 more seasons. If I'd thought that might be the end I'd have been really upset!
Giles (led us to believe he was killed by bringers) - I never thought he was really dead.
Faith (at least I thought she was dead in grad day, falling off the roof) - ditto. Never believed she was dead.
Spike - I'd read enough spoilers to know this would happen, and even knowing he'd be back on Angel, it was very emotional. I loved Chosen. It was the best series finale ever. I thought it was awesome that he died to save everyone else, that he got to redeem himself and do something important and good. I love the look on Buffy's face as she realizes all of that.
Joyce - that episode was so freaky and sad and horrible. It was VERY well-done. I felt like my own mom had died.

 

[PrincessBuffy16]

Angel (becoming) - Cried like a little girl when someone takes her candy.
Cordelia (lovers walk lol) - I totally thought she was going to die, especially because we saw funeral in the background.
The Master - couldn't care less.
Warren - ewwwww.
Jenny - wasn't that sad.
Anya - NOOOOOOOOOOOO! WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO ME JOSS? *comatose state*
Tara - Oh no.
Buffy (the gift/prophecy girl) - GWGJFGJFGJFKJFBJFJFBJFJF. MY LIFE IS OVER. I HAVE NOTHING TO LIVE FOR.
Giles (led us to believe he was killed by bringers) - Did he die? Is he dead? *next episode* Oh, he still has a head.
Jonathan - A lot of blood that little body has.
Glory/Ben - I wonder can I have her shoes..
Faith (at least I thought she was dead in grad day, falling off the roof) - NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! NOW ANGEL WON'T LIVE!!!!!!!!!!!
Spike - Well, that's life..
Joyce - *cries*

 

[arabella]

The only death that impacted me in a non-superficial way was Joyce's. That was heart wrenching and the episode that followed resulted in some real tears.

Everyone else's death was either expected and I just accepted it as part of the story (Tara's excepting) or I didn't believe the character was really dead so I wasn't bothered. Tara's death was unexpected and I remember that I did feel bad for Willow.

[brinkster130]

Angel: Heartbreaking. I felt so sad for Buffy.

Cordelia: In lovers Walk I totally thought she had died for a second; but I am glad she didn't. In You're Welcome she hadn't been around for a while so I figured it was going to happen sooner or later...but it was still a bummer.

The Master: WooHoo!

Warren: Ick.

Jenny: Ohh Angelus is good! (didn't really care to much for Jenny)

Anya: Poor Anya.

Tara: Sad way to go, and poor Willow.

Buffy: This can't be real! Its her show!

Giles: ehhh...bummer I guess.

Jonathan: Hmm I can't even remember him dying...guess I didn't care much.

Glory/Ben: Finally!

Faith (at least I thought she was dead in grad day, falling off the roof): What a waste, Angel doesn't even get her blood.

Spike: Good for him!

Joyce: Such a sad episode. Poor Buffy; I can't even imagine what it must be like to go through losing a parent.

 

[Taake]

Angel (becoming) - (kind of embarrassing but I was young) I was pretty much NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! x1000 (didn't know back then that he would come back in season 3, so me and my sis were more or less crushed)

Cordelia (lovers walk lol) - and indignated "Oh no way."
The Master - no reaction I remember
Warren - oh... eew
Jenny - I reacted to her death with a gasp or so but more so to Giles finding her dead.
Anya - no way, not now!
Tara - there aren't words that could cover the shock of that. I was sad and pissed off all at once.
Buffy (the gift/prophecy girl) - very sad
Giles (led us to believe he was killed by bringers) - never thought he was dead

Jonathan - oh, sad
Glory/Ben - finally!
Faith (at least I thought she was dead in grad day, falling off the roof) - i didn't think she was dead
Spike
- knew he would re-appear on Angel so no reaction really
Joyce - very sad!

 

[Icarium]

zobothehobo agrees: YOU would have been depressed about Spike? Wow.

I would have been depressed if I hadn't known in advanced he was going to be resurrected, yes. But only because this gave me more time to prepare for having to tolerate one more season of Spike. So it was the resurrection I hated, not the death. Sorry for not making that clear. 🙂

 

[Seeing Red]

Angel (becoming) I was sad for Buffy. I was pissed off on how they flimmed it. So I was really just thinking how bad it looked.
The Master BAHAA! Take that Fruit punch Mouth!
Warren Hurray Willow!
Jenny :'(
Anya I was SO upset and mad when she died, no more Bunny jokes. I was REALLY mad at XAnder for not even caring.
Tara I started bawling.
Buffy (the gift/prophecy girl) I wwas confussed on how the Tv show had 7 seasons if she died in the 1st then in the 5th
Giles (led us to believe he was killed by bringers) ....
Jonathan Finally! His voice really annoyed me.
Glory/Ben Ha, take that Hell Bitch!
Faith (at least I thought she was dead in grad day, falling off the roof) Yeah I started crying. I was also pissed off, why would they take away such an awsome character?
Spike :'(
Joyce I felt bad for Buffy.

 

[Angelus Domini]

Anya: WTF? Is that even possible? Unless the Harbringer had superhuman strength, and was using the Katana, there's no way he could have sliced Anya with a knife like that. There's bones and organs... bones are pretty hard. You can't cut bone with a knife like that.

Ben: What a pussy way to die. Death from hand suffocation. LOL!
