Aww, Giles is great!! I love it when he's drunk in The Yoko Factor, and when he's all angry at Ethan Rayne, and when he's Ripper in Band Candy, and when he comes back at the end of the sixth season to save Willow.
Favorite quotes...
"Look at my mask, isn't it pretty? It raises the dead! Americans!"
and... "You never train with me anymore, he's going to kick your ass."
and... "I had very definite plans about my future. I was going to be a fighter pilot. Or possibly a grocer. "
and... "What ever happened to Latin? At least when that made no sense, the church approved."
and... "It's devastating. He's turned into a sixteen-year-old boy. Of course you'll have to kill him." and...
Spike: Because the name "Buffy" gives it that touch of classic elegance. Buffy: What's wrong with "Buffy"? Giles: Such an excellent question.
Snyder: There's some things I can just smell. It's like a sixth sense. Giles: Actaully, that would be one of the five.
Giles: She was truly the finest of all of us. Xander: Way better than me... Giles: Much, much better.
Giles: Xander, don't taunt the fear demon. Xander: Why? Can it hurt me? Giles: No, it's just...tacky.
Giles: Two more of the brotherin came in here. They came after me. But I was more than a match for them. Buffy: Meaning??? Giles: I hid.
Anya: I want the dress... What? Everyone was thinking it! Giles: I wasn't... I have it in blue
Oh, Giles, I love you sooooo much. I'm so angry with you for teaming up with Faith... Gosh darn you...

FORGOT ONE!!
In Buffy vs Dracula, when Riley pulls him out of the lair of the three sisters...
Giles: Oh! I left my shoe, silly me I'll just pop back in and... Riley: Ohno! no more chick pit for you!

This is a little thing, but I love it when Giles says, "Yes well...." and then proceeds to clean his glasses. It's so quintessential Giles.

Some great quotes there, CrayonBreakyScaryVeiny *Karma for you* I should also mention that as much as I love Giles in the earlier seasons, I also love him in the later seasons when he becomes even more badass. And with that in mind, I forgot to mention one of my favorites Giles quotes which is: "I'd like to test that theory." Just such a kick ass moment for the G-man!

What you love:
What I love most about Giles is he isn't like the other watchers we have seen. He cares deeply about Buffy. He loves her as if she were his daughter. He does his job as a watcher, and though the watchers council frowns at his behavior, He still acts as a father figure in her life.
What you dislike: The only time I have ever disliked Buffy was when he didn't stand up for her when all the potential slayers were questioning her methods. Same goes for Willow and Xander. Yes, Buffy wanted to go back to the vinyard sooner than they did, But they acted harshly and irrationally.
They all voted Faith in as their "new" leader, and look where it got them. Faith almost died, The ubervamps killed some of the potentials..and who obtained the scythe? - Buffy.
Favorite Quotes: Never Kill A Boy On The First Date: "I'll just jump into my time machine, go back to the 12th century, and ask the vampires to postpone their ancient prophecy for a few days while you take in dinner and a show!"
Lie To Me: "Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after."
Something Blue[Spike & Giles]: 'Spike: [chained to Giles' bath] "Passions is on! Timmy's down the bloody well, and if you make me miss it, I'll..." Giles: You'll do what? Lick me to death?"
A New Man: "You know what gets me? This is what gets me. Twenty years I've been fighting demons. Maggie Walsh and her nancy ninja boys come in; six months later, the demons are pissing themselves with fear. They never even noticed me."
"I liked that shirt!"
Chosen:"The Earth is *definitely* doomed."
The Prom: "For God's sake, man, she's eighteen. And you have the emotional maturity of a blueberry scone. Just have at it, would you, and stop fluttering about."
The Witch: "This is madness! What can you have been thinking? You are the Slayer! Lives depend upon you! I make allowances for your youth, but I expect a certain amount of responsibility, and instead of which you enslave yourself to this, this... cult? (switch to shot of Buffy wearing a cheerleading uniform) ... You have a sacred birthright, Buffy. You were chosen to destroy vampires, not to ... wave pompoms at people."
Favorite Era (Season): My favorite Season for Giles is definatly Season 4. We get a much larger look into his life. We see him as a Watcher, and a person and no longer the sunnydale high librarian. I think it's a great season for Giles.
Defining Moments: WAY too many to list. Let's just say anytime Giles comes to the rescue. Which is alot. =D

Giles is awesome. I love the father-daughter relationship he has with Buffy. "I'm so proud of you, you've come so far, you're everything a watcher... I could have hoped for." Defining Moments:Passion--Following the rose trail to Jenny Helpless--When he defied The Council. Band Candy--Ripper!! Checkpoint--Standing up the The Council, again. The Gift--Killing Ben Afterlife--Scolding Willow Two to Go--"I'd like to test that theory" Grave--Laughing with Buffy over the crap that happened over the last year Lies My Parents Told Me--When he distracted Buffy to allow Robin to kill Spike Chosen--Staying to fight by Buffy's side Thank you Rebecca for typing all that so I didn’t have to. lol.

doppelgangland episode when willow looks to giles for a sensible explanation as to why buff and xand are clinging to her so deperately, but giles pounces her for a hug too! great moment in regards to willows and giles relationship, especially as it highlights giles admiration for willow. I've always thought they've had a great relationship - willow treating giles like a role model (most of the time) - both having the upmost respect for eachother, both unsung heros together putting the time, effort, and intelligence in making a great support tag team for buff. Giles seems to see willows specialness from the first season, hence why he always expects the best out of her. As he also expects from buffy too.
That leads me on to someone's comments earlier about being annoyed with giles anger or lack of faith towards buffs decisions now and again. You're right, it is annoying, but that example argues one of THE most significant reasons for why we love the show so much. Hence why I'm glad the characters challenge eachother like this, and why so many times I get angry with xander when he's so harsh to buff (especially in early seasons), yet i wouldn't actually want him any other way. It's the imperfections/ flaws of even great people portrayed beautifully, plunging our emotions right into the show. You always hear about the show being praised for being about real people. Moments like giles/ buffy disagreements gives it that realism. How often do we argue with friends/family we respect and adore but sometimes we're so agitated by some of their actions/ comments/ whatever.
...end of ramble

Okay, I figured I'd post this video here as well. It's a little tribute to Giles I made last night. SPOILERS FOR ISSUE 39.

Great vid, VS. I like how you voomed in on Faith's boob at 1:10. My only problem was the end. That's a disturbing scene to end on. Maybe you could have put in some pics of Buffy? I know it's a Giles vid, but I think it would've worked better with more of her reaction added in.

I know it's a Giles vid, but I think it would've worked better with more of her reaction added in. The boob zoom was meant to zoom in on Giles walking away with the scythe, but it wouldn't do as I pleased. Meh. It only barely caught the edge of his shoulder. And I got pictures of Buffy's reaction to use, but I was having issues with the sound, and had to cut it short. Plus, I really like the idea of just ending on Giles' as he was; We want him to get up, but it's obvious he's just going to remain still...

Oh my. I am not up to this point in the comics yet but had to watch the vid as obviously something awful happened given the tone of the posts and as I now knew that I thought I may as well see what it was. I have been so good at avoiding spoilers too but this one was just right there

Wrote this just now... Needed to reflect. xD Spoilers, for sure. Long Live Rupert Giles.
People will definitely think this is lame. Nerdy. And just plain stupid of me... I don't care. I feel the rightful need to do this. A couple days ago, the beloved character of Rupert 'Ripper' Giles was killed. Giles died trying to protect those he loved dearest, trying to do the right thing. The hard thing. I always respected and admired his ability to do those things others couldn't. It was his greatest asset, and also his downfall. I was introduced to Giles at age six. I've grown up knowing him for just about nine years now. He was always someone I had a liking for; I just couldn't help it. And it's safe to say I never appreciated him when he was still around; Something the guy definitely deserved from me. Giles was the father figure for many... And it's hard not to think the same thing. I've lost someone dear to me, and it's always proper to mourn, right? A friend is gone. A father figure. A man who occasionally wears--wore-- a wizard outfit. (Haha.)
