Guys, I think I have a new OTP! No, seriously - I watched all 16 episodes of S5 of Grey's Anatomy - twice now - and I'm so obsessed with Owen/Cristina and Owen Hunt himself! He's such a solid, complex, strong character, I just love everything about him. And he's so sexy!
Owen/Cristina never fails to amaze me, their scenes are so loaded with emotions and chemistry and there is such amazing dynamic between these two, I'll never get tired of watching them.
So, here's a little picspam - WARNING: it's highly spoilery so don't look if you haven't seen S5 yet but you're planning to - trust me, you do not want to be spoiled, seeing these scenes for the first time will give you chills :D
Sigh. I wish more of you watched Grey's, I desperately need to fangirl over Owen/Cristina (and Mark/Lexie as well!) with somebody.
Okay, here we go:
5x01-5x02
These two caps above, wasn't it the best character introduction ever?! He was so calm and confident and AWESOME and you could so see how impressed Cristina was. Hee, this scene brings a smile to my face every time I see it.
Chief: With a pen? You trached this guy with an ink pen?
Owen: ...So? *leaves*
Cristina (to herself): Pen trach? *pause* Hot.
And then it got even better!
Cristina: Uh, wow, you're not numbed. *He starts staplegunning his leg*
Owen: So? (...) Can't get an angle on these. Could you?
Cristina: *amused* Okay.
Owen: Thank you.
Cristina: Don't mention it.
Ahhh! It was so hilarious and so sexy and the smirking and staring! <3
Okay and that's when it got REALLY sexy:
Owen: You know, you'd be good in the field. Now you've got this battle scar, you'd fit right in.
Cristina: *laughs* All right.
Owen: I'm serious. You should ditch this place and go for the adventure.
(...)
Cristina: *pulls away from Owen after the kiss* I-I-I don't even know you.
Owen: So? *smiles*
The shameless flirting and the kiss, so damn hot! What I loved about their scenes is how they were both intrigued by each other from the very beginning, how well they worked together and their attraction, it's so strong! All those glances and smiles (I mean, when did you see Cristina like that before?), their chemistry is insane. Also, it's a challenge - she's been ipressed by him and he isn't scared of her, they're equals. They can both learn something from each other. Finally, she's different around him - I cannot explain it. More gentle, more eager to listen, more carefree.
5x09
Owen: I don't know why I came here.
Cristina: Do you wanna come in?
Owen: No. No I don't think that would be appropriate.
Cristina: Do you want to go someplace else?
Owen: No.
*she sits next to him and he looks at her*
Owen: I think you're beautiful.
Oh my God, MY HEART. He's plain amazing. He's got huge issues and it's clear how hard it's for him to live a normal life again and how he wants her (it probably scares him a little, too) - and how hard he tries to be good to her but doesn't always know how. And this scene, the way he stared at her and then simply said it - it was so straight and so honest, my heart stopped for a moment.
5x10
Cristina: Where are we going?
Owen: Don't worry, you'll like it.
Cristina: Uhh...
Owen: Wait. Just wait, wait...
*the air blows and she laughs and giggles*
Owen: It's ok, it's good, right? Right? It's the vent. It clears your head.. you feel better, right?
Cristina: Yes, yeah.
Owen: It's out of time, out of space. Anything can happen on the vent. Anything.
Cristina: Like what?
Owen: Just wait.
*he looks at her, it blows again and she laughs and then they start kissing*
AJGFKSADFGAKJHD!!!! Best scene on Grey's ever! He wanted to make her feel better so he took her to his place and she was so happy there, she forgot about everything and was so carefree and relaxed and he stood there with her, looking at her, smiling. He already knows her so well. Man, such amazing scene! It was delicate, adorable and super hot (the kissss, I died) and they are kind of perfect for each other, you know? She lets her guards down around him and allows him to see her real self, I think she's a better person when she's with him. AHHH.
5x12
Owen: Dr. Yang would you mind checking in some of my post ops? ER is swamped with traumas. - Also would you like to go on a date with me?
Cristina: *shocked* I'm sorry?
Owen: Uh, a date? You said not to play hot and cold with you so uhm... pick you up around 8? - Oh and make sure Mr.Kenner in room 2-2-1-2 gets that enema. He's been holding on to it for days. *leaves*
Cristina: *still stunned* Okay.
Izzie: Cause that wasn't weird *laughs*
Hahahaha so freaking hilarious! At the end of this scene I looked exactly like Izzie, with a huge grin on my face :D It was so adorable, he was nervous so he said it quickly and straight (agaaain, hee) and then immediately tried to change the subject to something he is confident with, medicine :D And she was so shocked, pleasantly shocked! Aw, cute.
5x14
It's probably my favorite Owen/Cristina episode, mostly because it shows them from two completely different sides - at first they're all secretive, happy and flirty, stealing glances and touching each other lightly and you can't help but grin when you see them like this and then suddenly he has a panick attack and tries to shut her down but she doesn't let him and takes care of him without asking questions because she knows he needs it. The 2nd scene is so heavy with emotions and brilliantly acted and the 3rd one melts my heart, it's so mature, gentle and overall wonderful - she was there for him without any hesitation, she didn't leave him, didn't get scared, simply let him sleep peacefully. Oh God, these two are way too amazing together.
5x15
Owen: I call her, all right? I call my mother once a week. I haven't told her I'm back, she thinks I'm calling from... *pause* I keep the conversations short because I can't bear for her to know that the son she sent off to war is gone. He's gone. And if I just got in my car and drove six miles to see her she'd be so...sad. And she'd look at me the same way that Beth does now, like I'm not there. The only time I don't feel like a ghost is when you look at me because you look at me and you see me. You see me. This is me. This is me. Please, Cristina, see me. See me.
This scene - and Kevin McKidd's performance - was mindblowingly wonderful. It gave me shivers. I have no words to describe how good it was, just - his monologue, it broke my heart. Owen is amazing.
5x16
Owen: You're missing my point. I want to be around 40 years from now.
Don't even get me started on this one, it makes me all worm and fuzzy inside :D
