Yes, the walk into the forest is on of the most heartwrenching of literary scenes.

EXACTLY! It's what turned my like of Doctor Who into LOVE for Doctor Who. The Day after I saw Doomsday I was so sad. It was as though I was mourning a real person. I think it says something about the quality of the show that it gave me such an intense response. And it kept me watching through Season 3 (which was painful for me the first time through - I appreciate it more with rewatchings) because I wanted to know what happened to Rose.

To me, that's a sign of great emotional stories - when they effect me so much that I just can't get past it. It's beautiful work.

I've always liked things that make me feel. Even if they are sad. It's what takes a show (or book) from being complete entertainment to real emotion - it builds a connection. That is the mark of brilliant work. It's one of the reasons I like Nicholas Sparks and authors like that as well.
PS- Something is up with LJ notification emails. I never got one for this at all. I only noticed your response because I happened to come on when another friends message arrived FIVE hours after she posted it. Grrr.

well, I was lucky because they always were broadcasted by the same channel(it's also the same one that introduced me to DW more than 3 years ago), only time changed but it was still suitable for me to watch so I watched it as much as they were shown and never got bored of re-runs*g* I don't think official DVDs of Charmed were ever produced here, only ones by pirates *gg* I watched it always on TV because I hadn't unlimited Internet to download at the time so it was always maddening to wait until every new season was translated, especially if there was a cliffhanger in the end of previous season, imagine how it was that I had to wait more than a year between season 3 and 4, it was the most aweful cliff in Charmed ever(well, and practically the only one *g*)and they broadcasted seasons 1-3 twice of thrice before season 4 aired, teases*grr*

I'm so sorry you had to wait so long.
Yeah, I remember that, I didn't like the ending of season 7 at all, it's much better in end of season 8)) Totally. The Season 7 ending was a bit of a cop out. I'm so glad they were able to overcome that and come up with a great final season and a satisfying finale.
I KNEW IT *g* Mine, too) She was just SO likable. It's hard not to adore her.
i remember that I watched Charmed really not because of pairings but because of dinamics between sisters, I really loved their connection and relationship, Power of Three indeed=) Yes, that's part of why I ( ... )

And I, too, was ultimately sucked into the DW fandom by the Doomsday ending, so it's still near & dear to my heart, but after getting hooked on the Eight audios - well, there are some incredible moments on them too.
And Harry Potter? I guess my age is showing here - watching teenagers snog each other honestly doesn't do much for me. My fave moment would be finding out the truth about Snape. I really, really hope they do it justice in the last movie.
Thanks for posting this, it was fun to think about!

It wasn't the snogging so much as the fulfillment of that moment for Harry. After all his angst in the 5th book and after seeing his awareness of Ginny growing throughout the 6th I was so thrilled to see him get that great happy moment, especially considering how things changed for him after all that. I agree with you about Snape. I'm really hoping they do a lot justice in the last movie since the 7th book is my absolute favourite. Especially the last 100 pages. So much happens in such a short amount of time. And when I first read the book, I immediately went back to the beginning of the battle to read the ending again. That's how much I liked it (And on almost no sleep too, LOL)
This was a fun meme! Feel free to ask for your own top 5 list at this thread. So far this is the only question I've ( ... )
