What are moments in either BTVS or Angel that you literally said WHOA outloud?
The reason I raise this question is because i just saw s4 episode of angel Awakening, and the very end just hit me by utter surprise. It was all just an illusion, what a cool idea. I went all Keanu Reeves in the Matrix - - - Whoa!
What about yall?
Well, there were quite a few. A couple off the top of my head are:
- The dream sequence in Out Of My Mind. I mean, at that point, there was absolutely no part of my mind that believed that there was ever going to be a future between Spike and Buffy. She hated him. Plain and simple. When that scene came on, I did a couple take, "WHAT?!". I think I fell off the bed. Then, when it turned out it was all a dream, it made more sense. Same with Smashed. I
never, ever saw that coming. Not at all. She's punching him and them, BAM she's kissing him. I think my mouth actually fell open. But once I got over the initial shock, I think I had a huge smile plastered on my face for like an hour. I was like, "Oh yeah, this is when it gets good, Buffy and Spike style!"
😉
- Of course, in Innocence, when Angel turns into Angelus. I remember being really confused. I wondered why he had become such an asshole all the sudden. Then when it came out that he'd losen his soul, I was like, Oh My GOD what an ingenious plot twist! Despite how awfully sad I felt for Buffy, I still thought it was an excellent storyline and an interesting challenge for her to get through. A real, human, emotional challenge that had nothing to do with her Slayer duties.
- When Gunn snapped the neck of the Professor who sent Fred to Pylea. I was pretty shocked and dismayed at that. I was a big Frunn supporter.
-
The end of Not Fade Away. I was like, WHAT! IT ENDS LIKE THAT!? Are you kidding me?!
- When Tara's shot by Warren...
- Darla's pregnancy.
- LINDSEY'S DEATH. That killed me. And having Lorne do it? Messed up, I tell you.
- Buffy jumping to save Dawn in "The Gift."
- Xander leaving Anya at the alter.
- I already knew about Spike getting brought back, so that didn't surprise me. But if I hadn't known, I would have been mighty surprised.
- And last but not least, Fred's death. Ah, Fred. Amazing, pretty, nice and sweet little Fred. That killed me. Seriously.
P.S. Oh, and Wesley's death. Man, that pissed me off.
P.P.S. Spike getting a soul. I never saw that coming at all.
