Small Moments of Joy
So, people are talking about more obscure moments of squee. Not the big, huge "Oh, my God!" moments, but the smaller, quieter ones that linger in the heart. So, one per season. Some aren't terribly obscure, but none of them are Buffy jumping off a tower.
1. In Xander's nightmare, there are swastikas on the wall, thus upholding what he says earlier about being afraid of Nazis (Nightmares).
2. Dru and Angel begin the tiny thread of their family being 'like jasmine' (which culminates in the naming of Jasmine in S4 Angel!).
3. Xander getting the math wrong in his head when he's being distracted by trying not to think of sex (Earshot).
4. Xander going up stairs in Buffy's dream (Restless). I just really love that he's the only Scooby to show up in her dream, because she shows up in everyone's. Because I'm a hopeless 'shipper.
5. Buffy using her kick-ass hearing to fight demons that she can't see (Family), thus continuing a tiny thread from Invisible Girl.
6. That face that Buffy makes whenever she drinks whatever it was that she was drinking in Life Serial. Just.... complete, adorable cuteness.
7. Buffy checking Xander's watch (Lessons). Never gets old.
