You guys are seriously like the sweetest bunch of hopeless romantics!! I love it. Too bad my cynicism gets in the way of that and I look past the innocence of true love. So I gravitate more towards an individual's journey rather than a couple falling in love. Always a sucker for a good redemption story line. But look at all this good romance stuff I am missing. Since we were chatting about Angel in the summer viewing thread thought I would post some vids because it is a favorite of mine (I am a true Whedonite through and through). Angel was all about redemption and making a difference in this world. That journey was never easy, and certainly were some dark times in the journey. In the end Angel would always go down fighting. For those who haven't watched all of the series yet...please do not watch or read further because I don't want to spoil it. The best overall character story arc in Angel had to be Wesley Wyndam Pryce. Talk about a tremendous amount of growth. They took poor Wesley to come really dark places that had tremendous impact. Any Whedon show you know characters you love will die, randomly and harshly. I don't know if I cried harder for any episode in any series than I did Season 5 ep 15 "A Hole In The World" Even though I still think a Season 6 would have been EPIC...The series still ended in glorious fashion, one of the best series finales ever.

Well late to the party... many of my faves have already been posted so I'll do one that hasn't Saving Grace .. For those of you that haven't see it, the story is about Grace Hanadarko (Holly Hunter), a smoking, heavy drinking, and promiscuous Oklahoma City detective. Grace meets up with her "last-chance" angel, when after a night of drinking she runs down and kills a pedestrian with her Porsche. In desperation she calls out for God's help, and a scruffy, tobacco-spitting man who calls himself Earl (Leon Rippy) appears. It's a great redemption series, and Grace fights it all the way. There are a bunch of subtle references that are glaring for a boy like me that grew up in Oklahoma. The three detectives she works with all came from three bitter rival colleges (Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, and Texas) The series is filled with passion and great character development. It also has themes connecting it with the Oklahoma City Bombing..... It's addictive, fun, and has a point. Here's the theme song for the series by Everlast Here's my favorite snapshot vid of the series ... warning!! don't watch it if you don't want to watch the series.. cause you'll be hooked crimmyj, tks for the Angel post, I agree Wesley's growth was huge..... Ruby, hope the vid is not too much skin...let me know. lol

tara You picked some of my favorites again! What a surprise! I just watched 13 Going on 30 about a week ago! Titanic! So beautiful yet so tragic. No matter how many times I see it I still cry! Chandler and Joey! One of the best bromances ever! crimmyj It's ok if you're not a hopeless romantic, Tara and I have got that covered for everyone! You can post about your other favorite shows, favorite tv or movie friendships/bromances so it doesn't have to be couples! One of my favorites is Dean and Sam I just haven't gotten around to it yet. I'm still collecting on some of my favorite couples which I have a ton of. When it comes to couples that I love I have no self control with the gifs! Just ask tara and shoe20 Especially over one couple in particular!! I've got to narrow it down to oh about 30 or so gifs! Just kidding! You guys know who I'm talking about! Great post on Angel!
