Oh, Thursday, how I love you. Especially this Thursday, since I'm not working tomorrow, which makes today Friday! Hooray!

Anyway.

We all mourned, fought, fundraised against the cancellation, we all wept last night, and we did it because we loved the show. So why not use the Top 5 list to express that love? Today's list, I give you Top 5 ( Read more... )

Not in order and not easy for me to do - these aren't my favorite moments, or my favorite things, or anything other than snapshots that pop into my head when I first thought of the series. I can't even do your top five properly without breaking but this is the first five things that I thought of. Well six because I thought of them at the same time, thankskindly. And they are all from Angel because right now I'm mourning that too hard to think of Buffy, even though there ARE so many moments in Buffy...God. Don't make me cry at work, Min! *HUGS YOU ( ... )

No crying! Celebrating and dancing a la Wes and Angel in "She"! *tosses celebratory confetti*

This is a wake, not a funeral. And wakes demand that you get drunk and weepy, but happy memory weepy. And mostly drunk. Remember that.

1. Connor dropping from the portal.
I think I "rewound" the DVD and watched that single moment probably a dozen times before I finished watching the episode. God. How gorgeous and feral and perfect he was. boniblithe was talking about how very much he looks both like Julie and David this morning, and it's true - he could very much be their son, and that's lovely.

*holds you tight*

Doesn't he? He was the perfect casting choice, both physically and also - he is SUCH a good actor, he really is ( ... )

It's okay. All day is fine. I keep remember other things that I love, like how Angelus goes and puts on pants before he collapes in the rain at the beginning of "Surprise" - you've just got your evil back and you stop to put on PANTS?!? - and the kiss at the end of Becoming Part 2 and.

Oh. S2 of Buffy is wonderful. Innocence was my favorite episode for many many months, before I finally saw "Are You Now".

And the quintessential Spike moment - the "You're not friends" speech in Lover's Walk. Ouch. So gorgeous.

So many ! And suddenly totally random again - what I think are my saddest moments of both shows - because really, the fact that they affect me so emotionally just shows how powerful this show IS

1. Connor's speech in the church in Peace Out - so heartbreaking, I cry every time I hear it.

2. Anya's speech about Joyce during The Body - just beginning to understand death, god.

3. Doyle's death in Hero - I could NOT believe he was really gone. This was Buffyverse - he would come BACK, right? He had to come back.

4. Buffy in The Gift, when she's talking to Dawn at the end. And everybody's face as they gather around her body.

And a tie for the last place:

Anya being left at the altar and everybody turning away from Wesley when he's in the hospital.

Willow sitting on the couch in the Hyperion at the end of S5/S2 as Angel walks through the door saying, "Can I say it? I get to say it! There's no place like ... " I teared up just typing that.

Giles talking to Buffy about never having lost someone he loved before, at Jenny's grave.

Willow putting stones on Tara's headstone.

And I have to stop because I'm weeping again. God. I can't believe it's done. *clings to you*
