Day 06 - The best kiss?
Well, I pretty much covered this in the TV meme, but let me talk about it again (and then add another one just for symmetry)
1. Jeff/Annie - Community (season 1 finale)
Beautifully shot, beautifully executed, and basically it was everything that a TV kiss should be. I think what made it super special though was that 1) I wasn't expecting something that huge to happen, and 2) the conversation they have just before it makes it clear that this isn't just about hormones, it's about what feels right for the both of them (even though their conversation was about other love interests, you could feel them starting to understand that they always gravitate towards each other because they feel like their actual selves around each other). Anyway, I love that kiss.
2. Betty/Armando - Yo Soy Betty, la Fea
Okay, I love pretty much all of their kisses, but this one comes after such a long time of Betty torturing Armando's soul, and Betty has been deeply tormented by the fact that she loves this awful man that she shouldn't love and doesn't want to love, and Armando is basically lashing out at her here for way more than just business reasons and his demeanor is just egging her on into carrying out her revenge, but then, but then he appeals to her with his heart. He tells her that his life is in her hands, and if she's ever loved him at all, then does she really want to see him suffer? And oh does it get her. And she doesn't even realize that he's talking about his ENTIRE life and not just the business, because his heart was in her hands too, and he was tired of suffering (of course, she doesn't know this, because she still thinks that he's only seducing her for business reasons). It's a very, very screwed up love, and not one that I would want for myself, but oh man did they share some freakishly hot kisses. I could basically watch these two makeout all day long. And they do the realistic making out, too. The kisses are messy, intense, and kind of seedy, just like their romance.
Oh, and just for organizational reasons, here's yesterday's meme post (I had posted it along with a personal entry, so here it is in a purely fandom entry):
Day 05 - The pairing with the least chemistry?
Hmm, at first this was going to be a tossup between Shawn/Juliet from Psych, Echo/Paul from Dollhouse, and Andy/Erin from The Office, but after writing a paragraph on how much I despise Paul/Echo, I'll go with them. All of these couples make me feel nothing but boredom, but Echo/Paul also succeed in making me nauseous, because EW EW EW PAUL IS SUCH A CREEP EW. I still can't believe that the show made that happen, ugh. And now he LIVES INSIDE OF HER HEAD. Oh, how romantic. *barf* Now, I loved Paul with Mellie, even though he got a little weird with her too once he figured out she was a doll, but the show still managed to salvage them in season 2 and oh were they beautiful! Paul and Echo, on the other hand, were just plain gross. And I rarely say that about a ship because, even if I don't like it, I can usually see why others do and would never dare to judge the ship in such a way, BUT UGH UGH UGH, I hated Paul/Echo. A lot. But hey, at least the shippers acknowledge that that ship was totally screwed up and that's why they shipped them. Paul and Echo were just too screwed up for me (and their lack of chemistry was astounding). Plus, I was big on the doll/handler bond that Echo had with Boyd, so I was super bitter when they switched Boyd out of there for the sake of progressing the Paul/Echo "romance." And knowing what I know now about Boyd still doesn't change that.
