Remembering Buffy the Vampire Slayer: What Are Your Favorite Moments From the Series?

Now here is post I can get behind, so I made a list! Basically, these are my top moments in the series, whether they be funny, developed a character more, defined the course of the show, or just made me shed a tear (or many). Please note there are many moments I have not included for the sake of length; I just hope I'm not missing any big ones. In episode order:
