I don't know if you watch
the New Girl or not. It has its horrifically awkward moments. For me, the fact
that all the characters are ridiculous and awkward together is what makes it
work. And it really does work; I have been known to laugh so hard while watching
this show that there is a danger of choking to death. When we watch it during
dinner (thank you ‘on demand’), it's a bit of a safety hazard. But, in addition
to being hilarious and awkward and ridiculous, I also like the characters. And
like everyone else, I have been shipping Nick & Jess since episode one.
Because it's just so perfect and obvious. We know it, hell, even they know it.
It was inevitable. I had even seen enough spoiler reports to know that
something was coming up soon. But I did not expect the kiss that happened last
night. Holy, wow. You know when the grandpa in the Princess Bride reads the end
of the story – “Since the invention of the kiss there have been five kisses that
were rated the most passionate, the most pure. This one left them all behind.
The End.”, and then the kiss, which
while very nice, is a bit of a letdown? (I mean, I love that movie and even
that part, but that kiss isn't anything to write home about) Well, I think this
Nick and Jess kiss is the one that may have wiped them all off the map. Of
course, being the TV-phile that I am, I had to give some real thought to what
they were wiping off the map. So, without further ado, leaving out Nick &
Jess, here are my top 5 omfg they kissed TV kisses:
5. Castle & Beckett (Castle) - I know that these two were more
when will they as opposed to will they or won't they, but that didn't make last
season's finale any less awesome. Because it's Castle and Beckett. And that was
one steamy scene when Beckett showed up back at Castle's after their fight and
the trauma and her turning in her gun and badge...
4. Buffy & Spike (Buffy the Vampire Slayer) - I don't know how
this happened, but it's Joss, so we'll just go with it. Sure, this was a part
of depressing season six Buffy coming back from a pleasant afterlife to a
relatively hell-like existence and hating everyone and everything a little bit,
but no one more than herself… But, that kiss at the end of Once More with
Feeling, some serious chemistry folks.
3. Pacey & Joey (Dawson’s Creek) - He bought her a wall. And then
he drove to pick her up because some stupid college boy broke her heart. And when
he pulled the car over and we held our breaths and when he said we are not
talking about Dawson, cause seriously, Dawson who? There is a reason we took to
calling it The Creek in college, and then he just kissed her, it was kind of
perfect. Because he bought her a wall.
2. Sydney & Vaughn (Alias) - Not unlike Castle & Beckett, and
probably even more so, this was a matter of when, not if. We all knew it was
coming, cause who didn't want to jump Vaughn the very first time he showed up,
and Sydney Bristow was the coolest most badass spy ever. Not chick spy, not
lady spy, just spy. Yeah, I said it, deal
with it. And because she was that awesome,
only someone as hot and awesome as Vaughn was worthy of her (and even he
faltered a little when he had that evil wife).
But before the evil wife, they took down the bad guys and finally got
their moment.
1. Logan & Veronica (Veronica Mars) - Like Veronica & Logan,
who had spent all previous episodes despising each other, except in flashbacks,
we were not expecting this. But as soon as it happened, we pretty much never
wanted it to stop.
So, I don't know if Nick
& Jess really wiped these 5 away, but just to be on the list is impressive.
This list is full of hour long dramas, which had time to build up the tension
and in some cases add some serious life and death stress. Plus, Buffy, Veronica,
& Syd are among my all-time favorite characters, in TV, film, literature,
etc. And the gentlemen on this list, well, let's just say most of them make my
sexiest TV men of all-time list. (Pacey cannot be on the list because he
belongs to Kacey, and there are rules).
So, anyhow, Nick &
Jess, well done.
Books read: 2 (Dear
Veronica Roth, please write your 3rd book and get it published immediately,
Insurgent was amazing)
Coming soon: Sarah writes a response to this that laments the
complete lack of Ross & Rachel on this list, with a small complaint about
the lack of Kurt and Blaine.
