A Moment Buffy Reminded You of Buffy:


My Answers:

Best Character Captured by the writers:

So far Xander. He felt very true to the character we saw on TV and I can easily hear Nicholas Brendon saying the lines.

Best Exchange:

Xander and Amy in The Long Way Home: XANDER: So this doesn’t have to be someone she’s in love with.

AMY: No, I said. Just someone truly in love with her.

XANDER: But not friend-love.

AMY: Right. Someone who wants to kiss her, like, they’re passionate about her.

XANDER: And not a sister.

AMY: Well, a *twisted* sister…

XANDER: HA! But no, I hate you.

Best Fight:

Faith and Buffy in No Future For You.

Best New Slayer:

Satsu. I just love her cute style with little pink bears, as well as her down to earth persona. Her crush on Buffy boosted her points higher.

Best Drawn Character:

By Jeanty, I'd say Willow. He captures Alyson the best out of all the cast.

Best Buffy Scene/Quote:

"Oh. Kay." is the best Buffy moment. As for quote: "Your butt looks big in those giant pants."

Best Xander Scene/Quote:

Xander's ducky PJs. Quote: "I'll watcher your butt, lady."

Best Willow Scene/Quote:

I enjoyed the one with her and Kennedy. Quote: "First of all, what did we discuss about calling me by my mother’s name?"

Best Giles Scene/Quote:

I liked Giles' scene with Faith where he held his glasses and went Five by Five. "Burst."

Best Dawn Scene/Quote:

With Xander in issue 10. "Willow understands. She taught me a lot, especially when you were dead." This quote actually reminded me of a Missing Scene (http://lusciousspike.livejournal.com/81124.html) I read.

Best Faith Scene/Quote:

When she hits Roden with a book saying, "Thanks. But I ain’t much of a reader."

Best Andrew Scene/Quote:

The commercial with Vi. "No, trust me… you’d be bored stiff."

A Moment Buffy Reminded You of Buffy:

The one in The Long Way Home as she talked to an upset Dawn after Willow was kidnapped. The way she was standing with her arms crossed, the way she was talking. It felt like Sarah doing that scene on TV.

[Buff Buff]

Best Character Captured by the writers: Xander or Willow.
Best Exchange: The Xander/Buffy/Willow exchange in issue 3.

XANDER: Place is more or less locked down. Can I get a sit rep on Ratgirl before...
WILLOW: [laughing] Oh, no, no...
BUFFY: ...and I was covered in it!
XANDER: Wait! What? A funny? There's funny bonhomie happening and I want in!
BUFFY: No...ahh...girl thing.
XANDER: Girl thing? With girl parts? Now I really need to know!
WILLOW: Slow year, Xan?
XANDER: Oh, I'm getting plenty of action, Elphaba. I'm Action Jackson.
BUFFY: "Slow year"...I said that...God, in my dream...
WILLOW: Hey, I believe. You were the biggest ladies' man in Sunnydale, Harris. Even I went in for smoochies, and I don't truck with the stubbly crowd.
XANDER: Of course, according to my parents the action I've been getting should make my last remaining eye go blind...

Best Fight: Faith and Buffy.
Best New Slayer: Renee or Satsu.
Best Drawn Character: Amy's mom was drawn perfectly, but she was only in one panel...so aside from her, probably Willow.
Best Buffy Scene/Quote: Her exchange with Dawn. As for a quote, I'll agree with everyone else and say, "Your butt looks big in those giant pants."
Best Xander Scene/Quote: The scene with him finding the frilly. As for a quote, I have to say the Action Jackson bit.
Best Willow Scene/Quote: Best scene was probably her entrance. As for quote, like I said in the exchange, "Even I went in for smoochies, and I don't truck with the stubbly crowd." It's just so...Willow-ish, especially because she says 'smoochies.'
Best Giles Scene/Quote: Pretty much all of his scenes with Faith...and I like his quote, "We're not exactly giggling on this side of the fence, either."
Best Dawn Scene/Quote: Pretty much every scene with her and Xander in AWBH...or her and Willow in NFFY pt. 2.
Best Faith Scene/Quote: The last scene with her and Giles in NFFY pt. 1. And her best quote is definitely "I have no sodding clue!"
Best Andrew Scene/Quote: Him talking to Xander on the phone. Favorite quote is definitely "I've looked through so many books I have parchment fingers. But my mom used to order this special dermatological soap because hoisin sauce makes me rashy..." It reminded me of the "I have swimmer's ear" line in Chosen.

A Moment Buffy Reminded You of Buffy: That one quick scene with her, Angel, and Spike...:whistle:

[Tranquillity]
