infinitejestDay 20 - Favorite kiss
To figure this one out, I first reflected: Which kisses do I actually remember from various television shows?
The answer is: not many. Well. I remember plenty of kisses from True Blood but, to be fair, I've watched that recently and there are so very many of them. I also remember many of the kisses from Pushing Daisies, probably due in no little part to the involved conceit and them all taking place through plastic film.
I dredged up a few that I feel are important on a not-very-involved level, like the culmination of Scully and Mulder's relationship or how sweet and beautifully understated the Roslin/Adama kiss was after so much waiting.
But there were only two that really struck me with a thrill to think of even now, and it is these that must be my favorites. One of those is the Spike/Buffy kiss of S6... er, the one in the house that fell down. This is potentially not a popular opinion, and the whole season was problematic on a number of levels. Also, I don't have the wrist-resilience to really get into a proper discussion about it, so let's leave that one alone.
Therefore, my favorite kiss would be:
Logan and Veronica's first kiss from Veronica Mars S1!
I probably re-watched this scene an embarassing number of times, and I'm not sure I ever got over making a happy squeak and possibly Kermit-flailing. Perfect mix of highschool drama, going to bat for someone to show them you care, and sudden revelation of emotions in a confusing mix - excellently intoxicating! Plus, eee, the snarkiest couple ever!
Very good show, and I find it unfortunate I had to watch the relationship devolve. A couple of times. At least the first time they found each other again; I quit watching in S3 after she bugged his vehicle, so I have no idea what finally wound up happening between them.
Quixote insists he has no answer for this question.
P.S. Ack, I almost forgot the Nine/Rose kiss...! However, my feelings on that one are complicated by wishing she'd had a better one with Ten and twisting in complete irritation over how RTD set that whole situation up. So, not an unvarnished favorite right now.
