SO RANDOM. And these are not necessarily my favorites for some of these couples. Perhaps I should also do another picspam of "kisses of the non-epic variety which are also excellent quality"? ANOTHER DAY.
Major spoilers for: Everwood, Hana Yori Dango, Slayers, Evangelion, Doctor Who.
"Don't say anything yet.
I want to go first, and since I brought the ferris wheel, I figured you'd let me."
"Okay. Um. Four years ago, you came to my little town, and you changed my life.
I never thought that one person could do that to another, but you did.
And from the moment that I met you, and each moment after that,
somehow everything that happened to me kept coming back to you.
...I don't know if the ferris wheel reminds you of anything...?"
"Are you kidding me? How could I forget our first Thawfest?
It's where you first told me your nickname was Grover."
"I can't believe you remember that."
"I remember everything about us, Amy."
"See, that's the thing. Every time I try to forget the feelings that I have for you,
they keep coming back, and now they're back. And I don't want to push them down anymore...
I don't want to run away from this. Because I never want to lose you again.
I just want to be with you. Next to you. Wherever you are."
"Amy..."
"And I'm sorry that it took me so long to figure it out, I really am!
Because I hate all of the time that we lost, and I know it's my fault.
And I just really hope that you can forgive me."
"Amy."
"Because I love you, Ephram.
I love you."
"Is it my turn yet?
...good. Because I love you, too.
I knew it then. I know it now. I'll know it always.
You're it, Amy. You're my one."
"I am...?"
"You always have been."
"You wanna go for a ride?"
"In a second."
AHHHHHH. I was so bitter after the cancellation because I thought a ninth-hour reunion between these two would end up feeling forced when I really understood Amy's reasoning behind them staying apart for a little while.
Except while rushed, this was as perfect as it was possible to be. The whole finale is one of my favorite series finales ever, but I love that they pulled these two off.
And I love how while she's pouring her heart out, Ephram just keeps looking over her head wondering wtf she brought the ferris wheel for, since it is totally unnecessary as she would have had him at hello.
And the rest of the DVDs need to come out already, plz. These caps are horrible.
"I did terrible things to Asuka. I killed Kaworu-kun. I don't have a shred of kindness in me.
I'm unfair and weak, that's all. If all I can do is hurt others, I'd rather not do anything at all!"
"I'm not going to feel sorry for you! If you're just scared of getting hurt, then just die here without doing anything at all!"
"If you don't do anything here, I won't forgive you! I will never forgive you for the rest of my life!
You may not always make the right choices in the present.
You can realize your mistakes later and then regret them.
It was always a cycle of that for me..."
"Listen, Shinji-kun. Pilot Eva once again. Pilot Eva and find your answers to your questions:
Why did you come here? Why are you here now?
And when you've figured it out...
Be sure to come back to me."
"It's a promise.
Go, now."
OH FUCKED-UP OEDIPAL RELATIONSHIP, WHY SO EPIC HERE?
It cannot be said that I ship them, but this moment is totally my favorite scene in the original series. The one moment where two characters get to really communicate and say everything that's been boiling under the surface. I love that she passes on her cross to Shinji as the next survivor. Everything about this is perfect.
EXTRA: BTS KISSING THAT NEVER ENDS YES IT GOES ON AND ON MY FRIENNNNNDS
What I really love about the Confidential bit is that I wouldn't be AT ALL surprised if someone there was like, "Okay guys, be sure to catch it from as many angles as possible so the fangirls can have their LJ icons!"
Anyway. Really, The Parting of the Ways should be on this picspam, but I just did that in one of my most recent posts, so this one made the cut instead. I used to ship Ten/Rose like crazy, and then didn't, except then sometimes I still love them anyway in my heart even as my head no longer finds them enjoyable! IT IS VERY STRANGE.
And in my head the entire Ten2.0 thing is ridiculously idiotic, but my heart is still like, TEN AND ROSE AND KISSING AT PRETTY BAD WOLF BAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WITH ROSE'S HAIR BLOWING IN THE WIND AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!! And so here we are!
...being shallow is fun!
EXTRA BTS GOODNESS:
AGAIN IT WAS A TIGHT RACE BETWEEN THIS AND S1, EXCEPT...uh I don't have S1 on DVD, for one.
BUT THIS IS ALSO AMAZING. Actually my favorite part is how right before he grabs her, they grin at each other...in the exact same way they grinned at each other in the Returns finale before they started dancing together.
EXTRA MEMORY-WIPE AFTERMATH:
"GIVE IT BAAAACK!"
"Give what back?!"
"MY INNOCENCE!!!"
I capped this off YouTube, the quality is atrocious. D:
How could Slayers ever top this finale? YOU DO NOT GET MORE PERFECT THAN THIS. It was nearly all downhill from here. :(
After all, well isn't this just a momentary thing?
It's not like it's permanent or any heavy thing...
We'll get along after so long...
This is so not my favorite for them overall (the "moving on" scene = BESTEST EVER) but it wins on the epic scale due to the most perfect song choice ever and the spinny camera. Oh, VM. We had some good times, and the week this episode aired was one of the very best.
Everyone had to contribute their own dialogue to match the facial expressions! Do you remember how the entire internet flipped out looking for the song and nobody knew what it was for a day or two? How everyone had to have like three icons of this scene uploaded at once IMMEDIATELY? I remember watching this on loop for DAYS.
"I'll love you until the End of the World."
"You said that back then, too.
You held me tight back then and said...
'I'm always thinking about you.'"
"Wait!
Thank you.
You really were my prince."
"I don't want to leave you here."
"You have to."
"Clark! ...I don't know if I'm ever going to see you again."
COCKBLOCKED BY LEX LOLOLOLOL.
This will always be my favorite. Dubious lighting and all.
"I shouldn't be here."
"This is exactly where you should be."
"I love you."
"I love you too."
"I will not be the cause of any more deaths because my judgement was faulty...
I will not permit anyone else to sacrifice their life for mine."
"What do you mean...'anyone else'?"
ULTIMATE OTP OF ALL TIME. It was aaaalmost a competition between this one and the Dog With Two Bones "I am so much better dead!" kiss, except not really, because on the *~EPIC~* scale this one always wins.
Them finally saying I love you without Aeryn getting concussed immediately afterwards! The music! How perfectly Aeryn's misgivings set up their issues for the rest of the season!
BUT MOST OF ALL IT IS THAT LITTLE STRANGLED LAUGH JOHN MAKES WHEN SHE SAYS THEY WILL NOT ACT ON IT. And I really love how these two can play a conversation for so long with just constant attempted kissing through the entire talk.

Great picspam! ♥

Date: 2010-01-19 12:34 pm (UTC)Hee! Agreed. This is actually the first time I've pulled out my VM DVDs in over two years. I feel like this might finally be the year where I find enough time has passed since the dark times that S1 and I can be friends again. [/lame]
Also, your icon is gorgeous. ♥

Date: 2010-01-19 02:03 pm (UTC)Amy/Ephram for sure aren't my beloved from all pairings I have but I like them very much, they're meant to be from the very beginning.. which is exactly what keeps them away from my top list because they're a little tooo obvious for me but.. still, really lovely ones. ;)

Date: 2010-01-17 10:39 pm (UTC)I totally agree with pretty much all of these (though I've never seen Veronica Mars). The scenes from Evangelion, Everwood, and Slayers NEXT are some of my personal favorite scenes ever.
I was wondering if I could friend you? We seem to have a lot in common and we seem to have similar tastes in awesome TV scenes. Whaddya say? ^^

Date: 2010-01-17 10:49 pm (UTC)And John/Aeryn! I have to say I love the Bad Timing kiss because in so many ways I think it's the perfect ending to the show, but yes, just on pure 'shippiness and OMG!LUST, the SoD kiss is second to none. (I actually find the whole DwTB almost-kiss to be depressing, and I never really think of it as 'shippy, even.)

Date: 2010-01-19 12:45 pm (UTC)I have weird love for the DwTB kiss despite how depressing it is; I feel like only those two could pull off the bit where he keeps trying to kiss her and she keeps trying to dodge as well as they do. Bad Timing is also lovely, I agree that it's a perfect ending.

Date: 2010-01-18 03:20 am (UTC)You are so pushing me to pull out my Veronica Mars and Farscape dvds. And of course Everwood if the last season ever finally comes out. Sadly, I'm so annoyed with SV that I can't bear to pull that one out just now. But I do love that whole scene and kiss.
