5 TV Moments You Still Remember (And Probably Won't Forget)

Buffy (Welcome to the Hellmouth) – At The Bronze when Cordy is asked to dance by Vamp-Jesse (the song Ballad for a Dead Friend by Dashboard Prophets starts). But really it’s when Darla and the rest of the vamp crew arrive. That song worked so well, the cutting was just awesome!

 

Firefly (Serenity) – This is two part, first is when River is first revealed in the box, then when she scares the shit out of the crew when she comes out of it. The second part would be Simon explaining how smart River is to the crew, it just portrays in that small scene exactly how Simon feels about her.

 

The Outer Limits (Abduction) – All the narration for this episode. The opening was “When a heart has been turned cold by anger and grief, can patterns of destructive behavior be averted or are they predestined?”

The closing was “In an ever more complex and dangerous world, vigilance and guidance is needed for those most vulnerable to its cruelties... our children.”

 

Dark Angel (Freak Nation) – The second to last scene after the cops chase Max and the others back to Terminal City.  Max’s whole speech was very well done.  “Aren't you tired of living in darkness? Don't you want to feel the sun on your face? To have a place of your own where you can walk down the street without being afraid? They made us, and they trained us to be soldiers, to defend this country. It's time for them to face us and take responsibility, instead of trying to sweep us away like garbage. We were made in America and we're not going anywhere. So they call us freaks; who cares? Today I'm proud to be a freak. And today we're gonna make a stand, right here. Who's with me?” (the made in America is a bit cheesy but, gosh that’s a great speech).

 

Veronica Mars (Not Pictured) – The scene on the roof. Oh. My. GOD! That was such a great scene and I can recite it by heart.


5 TV Theme Songs You Know (and Love) By Heart

Scrubs – “Superman” by Lazlo Bane

Malcolm in the Middle – “Boss of Me” by They Might Be Giants

Veronica Mars – “We Used to be Friends” by The Dandy Warhols

Firefly – “Ballad Of Serenity” performed by Sonny Rhodes Written by Joss Whedon



5 Shows You Just Can't Get Into

Family Guy

5 Channels You Go To First When You Sit Down to Watch TV

42 Spike – they’re always running CSI, so it’s a default for me)

76 Sci-Fi

77 TechTV or G4 now (but really all I get is static now, we lost this channel, but I still naturally go to it)

40 E! – I love the soup and used to really like the fashion suff

55 Disney – I like this channel, sue me


5 TV Characters You Could Do Without

Pretty much ALL new characters on Heroes (except Elle, she’s awesome!)


Kennedy on Buffy – I REALY hated her

 

Riley on Buffy – I couldn’t stand this character!

 

Denny Duquette from Grey’s Anatomy – I HATED this storyline

 

Billie and Christy from Charmed – Blah!


5 Quotes That Still Resonate

“The killer’s dead! We’re off the hook! Up top!” ~ Eric

“He can't do that! It's against the Geneva Detention Convention!” ~ Cory

“Hey, hey, hey, now, you're overreacting. There's only two people that are horribly dead, and that's an acceptable loss.” ~ Eric

~ Boy Meets World – “And then there was Shawn”

“Bottom line is, even if you see 'em coming, you're not ready for the big moments. No one asks for their life to change, not really, but it does... So what are we, helpless? Puppets? No. The big moments are gonna come. You can't help that. It's what you do afterwards that counts. That's when you find out who you are...” ~ Whistler

~ Buffy The Vampire Slayer – “Becoming Part 1”

 

“It hurts sometimes more than we can bear. If we could live without passion, maybe we'd know some kind of peace. But we would be hollow. Empty rooms, shuttered and dark. Without passion, we'd be truly dead.” ~ Angelus

~ Buffy The Vampire Slayer – “Passion”

 

“Tragedy blows through your life like a tornado, uprooting everything, creating chaos. You wait for the dust to settle, and then you choose. You can live in the wreckage and pretend it's still the mansion you remember. Or you can crawl from the rubble and slowly rebuild. Because after disaster strikes, the important thing is that you move on.” ~ Veronica

~ Veronica Mars – “Meet John Smith”

 

“I brought you some supper, but.… if you'd prefer a lecture, I've a few very catchy ones prepared. Sin, and hellfire… one has lepers.” ~ Book

“If you take sexual advantage of her, you're going to burn in a very special level of Hell. A level they reserve for child molesters and people who talk at the theater.” ~ Book

~ Firefly “Serenity” (the first one), “Our Mrs. Reynolds” (the second one)

So this was done while at work, so it’s a bit scatterbrained. I also couldn’t think of a million answers, so I know I’ll reread this a some point and be quite sad that I didn’t think of a much better answer than the one I did. Still at work… It’s never ending…

I can't get into Seinfeld either! Everyone thinks I'm some kind of loser, but it just isn't funny.

and Kennedy was useless!

but LoVe goes on forever!
janine42584: Chuck - Pilot: Chuck [info]janine42584 on January 31st, 2008 04:32 pm (UTC)
Yeah I knew a couple people who knew every episode of Seinfeld by heart, they would quote it all the time. They would crack themselves up, but I never thought it was funny. Just not my cup of tea I guess.

Blah to Kennedy, I just NEVER understood why she became so central. She was a bitch, nothing else. And also I could totally see her becoming bad (like Faith was for awhile), that girl was just too power hungry for my taste.

YAY LoVe! Although Logan was a whiny brat third season (to me anyway), but I just disregard that season.

Love your icon too! Thanks for reading it all the way through, I hope it made some sense. People kept giving me work to do as I was trying to fill it in, so I think it becomes scatterbrained at some points. Darn people trying to make me work at work, couldn't they see I was busy ;)
crystalkei: ainsley potty[info]crystalkei on January 31st, 2008 04:45 pm (UTC)
I had that problem with my two year old. Can you believe she wanted to play legos and color while I was trying to fill it out? ugh, rude.
janine42584: Firefly - War Stories: River [info]janine42584 on January 31st, 2008 04:48 pm (UTC)
The nerve of her! Couldn't she tell you were busy? Kids these days, wanting love and attention. What's wrong with the world today? ;)

Glad to also know someone else is out there with the same sense of humor as me :)
Angel[info]angelcure on January 31st, 2008 04:34 pm (UTC)
OhOh, I forgot to list Angela and Hodgins as a favourite couple! They're awesome!
janine42584: BtVs - Go Fish: Buffy [info]janine42584 on January 31st, 2008 04:36 pm (UTC)
That they are ;) oh and I totally stole some of your answers, I was like "hmmm I like Buffy too!" So you get full credit for like half of my answers :D
Angel: Angel: perfect[info]angelcure on February 2nd, 2008 11:48 pm (UTC)
Hehe, no problem! I'm glad to know you are a buffy fan too, I didn't realise you were!
Wow, I love the quotes you picked, i didn't remember any of the very best ones to write, so I just wrote down the few good ones I remembered.
atlantis2_04[info]atlantis2_04 on January 31st, 2008 10:22 pm (UTC)

janine42584: Heroes - Fight of Flight: Elle[info]janine42584 on January 31st, 2008 10:25 pm (UTC)
Nope no Peter, actually future Peter would fit into one of those categories (future Peter is HOT!)

Love Peter, but that hair first season kinda killed it for me :O
