Xander losing his eye and Darla staking herself were big shockers for me.

I agree with Xander losing an eye and Dawn showing up.

I think the end of Heart of Gold was a major shocker for me.
Inara: "I'm leaving"
me: nooooooooo!?!?!

One of the biggest shocks for me and mhy bestest buddy was at the end of the WB-run of Buffy, when Giles is calmly speaking with whatshisname, I think Ben? The guy who is actually Glroficus, too, and Giles explains the differences between people like Buffy and people like them, then calmly reaches down and, if i recall correctly, suffocates him...

THAT threw me off into a tizzy...

Ooooh, got to delurk to join in this thread :)

Most shocking moment definitely has to be "Kaylee's Dead" for me - I started watching with the DVDs so I was devastated to think that this cute, funny character was dead.

In "Smashed" when Buffy and Spike had sex for the first time. I just thought she was going to beat the crap out of him. Then she jumped on him and they literally screwed the house to the ground.

That got me too for a couple of seconds. Then I remembered that she was on the front of the box and I was thinking "What the f...?"

Also Mal knocking out Jayne so suddenly at the end of Ariel. I thought the episode was over and was expecting them to make us wait a couple of episodes for the inevitable confrontation.

When Angel gets the phone call that Cordy died and he says, "No, she's right here--" and turns around and she's gone.

The one that I found most shocking, and I can't believe nobody else has mentioned here yet, is the death of Tara at the end of BtVS S6. Unfortuantely, I was spoiled by a friend (who I'll only forgive because she's now a Browncoat too ), and thus knew it was going to happen, but not when or how.

It was truly Joss at his most evil, with Tara and Willow all kissed and made up and with Amber included in the credits for the first time, then suddenly *BANG* and she's gone, not ever coming back.

Kaylee: "No call to be snappy, Jayne."
Jayne: "Are *you* about to jump onto a moving train?!"

As soon as I saw Amber in the credits in that episode, knowing it was the third from last one, I just instantly knew that she was toast.

Of course, Angel turning out to be a vampire was a big surprise. At least it would have been if a friend who was watching the show with me, having seen it before, not let that secret slip during that very episode. Needless to say, she was heavily mocked when the big revelation came.

"Wow, I'm so surprised. I did not see that coming."

Favourite one in Firefly was the guy being kicked into the engine. In Buffy, Jenny Calendar gets killed ("Did they just ..."). In Angel, probably Cordy's end. Just so sad and while not totally unexpected, the emotions stirred by her return meant her demise was felt even more.
