Buffy, Fool For Love

I have all seven seasons on DVD, and *this* disc had to be the only one that won't play... Anyway, the shot that reappears in the Angel episode Darla, the Fanged Four striding in slo-mo through the burning street in the middle of the Boxer Rebellion.

Angel, Home

Well, there's rampant Wes/Lilah shagging in Ground State, or anything with the Angelpuppet or... ahem. Just one, okay. Angel and Connor's final scene in the shopping mall kills me. Boreanaz and Kartheiser hit it out of the park and then some.

Smallville, Hourglass

The vision of Lex's future, so horrific it kills the old woman who sees it: President Luthor in a field of sunflowers that crumble away to ash when he touches one; blood raining from the sky, the ground covered in bones, and Lex just keeps up that creepy little smile. I'm not even much of a Superman geek but I loved the continuity nod in Lex wearing one black glove.

Firefly, Objects in Space

The opener, with River's surreal walk through the ship, is so beautiful and strange. Now I'm torn between that one and River's speech when she tells Early she's become Serenity.

You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. I'm not on the ship. I'm in the ship. I am the ship.


Queer as Folk UK, episode 1.8

"You're supposed to ask if I love him."
"You can't. You can't even respect him. He loves Vince Tyler and that makes him stupid."
"No, it's nothing like that! It's just... me, though? I can't be the best shag he's ever had, he's Australian! I don't even know if I'm a good kisser, how'd you know if you're a good kisser?"
"You just know."
"It's not like I've ever done... anything."
"You've done nothing, Vince. You go to work, you sit and watch cheap science fiction. What is there that's special about that, what is there to love?"
"...yeah."
"It was good enough for me."

That dialogue may not be exact seeing as it's from memory, having seen the show once in the last five years, but the acting in that scene is amazing.

Fanged Four: Oh yes. William who has just become Spike's jump over the box, and the blood all over his face and Dru in ballerina slippers, and Darla and Angelus silently at war with one another and themselves while the carnage piles up around their feet. Christ yes.

Home: I swear to god I can't watch that scene without crying. Anyone who gives Dave shit about his acting needs to look at the one moment when he raises the knife. He doesn't say a word but there's 18 years of father and love he never got to give in that one look.

SV: I've seen maybe ten episodes but that one I've seen three times. That scene squicks the fuck out of me. So well done.

Yea. God I miss my show.
