Goddamn, it still hurts. I cried. Giles and Jenny were so cute and sweet and in love and they're the best ship ever. God damn Angel. The chase scene was torture. And when he... you know... in front of the window; that shot is used in every retrospective fanvid, not to mention the credits of season 3, so I've seen it God knows how many times, but it still makes me cringe and curse Angel. And those stupid roses and the stupid opera - I hate that opera - and the stupid note, and the look on Giles' face when he gets to the top of the stairs... the first time I saw the episode I couldn't watch that at all, I covered my eyes. But my God, when Giles storms the warehouse that is just the most amazing thing ever. I'd forgotten how much he wailed on Angel. And then when Buffy pulls him out of the warehouse, but he pushes her away, and she socks him and they cry... I'm sorry Lorelei, that out-does the scene at the end of "Lie to Me" as the best Buffy and Giles scene ever. Then the scene at the cemetary made me cry (with that stupid gravestone with no dates and who the hell is this "Jennifer" person?), and then Willow coming into the classroom and saying she'll be filling in made me cry, and seeing Jenny's name plate on the desk (which got her name right, unlike the gravestone - "Jenny") made me cry. And that is just some of the best TV ever. So, yeah. I just had to get that all out.
I have to read fanfic now.

14 15 16ETA: I watched "Some Assembly Required" to deal with my "Passion" pain.
That episode is so under-rated. I get that people don't care much for the monster of the week, but there are so many cute, snappy Scooby scenes. The grave-digging scene, Xander in the science lab, the "people don't want what's right in front of them" discussion, the Angel and Cordy vs. Buffy and Xander face-off, Xander and Buffy teasing Giles about practicing his "pick up lines". Charisma Carpenter is fantastic at screaming. I actually really liked how the football game was shot, with the low angle. And whatever else his flaws were, the dude who played Darryl was great at showing how much he missed the game, just by the look in his eyes. And, of course, the Giles/Jenny cuteness. I just love the look on his face as he steels himself to ask Jenny out. And then how gleeful he is when it gets a date. He skips! It's so cute!
Okay, I'm done now.

It seems that a pretty good way of determining if you're going to die on the Hellmouth is to check what letter your name starts with. Is it "j"? Sorry, you're out of luck.

There's a new demon in town. Human-looking most of the time, it "mates" with women before sacrificing them to its underworld masters.

At the same time, her relationship with Riley is straining as his commitment to the Initiative comes into conflict with his commitment to her. In the midst of all this, Giles, Jenny and Ani seem to be living the dream, and proving that happiness is possible on the Hellmouth. But all is not well in paradise...

Comments
And I've only seen 'Passion' once, but it was enough. You're right--the chase scene is absolutely *brutal*. I was so proud of her for trying as hard as she did to get away. Pretty sure it made me tear up. Gah.
Anyway, just wanted to comment & thank you for your enthusiasm. :)
The thing with this show is that I just appreciate it more every time I watch it.

Just keepin' the love alive. ;-)
