Tomorrow all our troubles will be miles away

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY!!

I. I celebrated last night. It was fun. I got all dressed up and had a nice dinner, we watched i> Meet me in Saint-Louis (which is THE Christmas movie for me, I've loved it for as long as I can remember).

And I got PRESENTS :D A new bag, and the dvd's of Sherlock (wasn't expecting that, but a great surprise!), and FIREFLY! I can't tell you how happy I am :D Now I'll get to listen to the dvd commentaries like the geek that I am :DD

And while we're kind of on the subject: Meme! (Do you know that a year ago, I'd only seen Dr. Horrible? 2010 will go down in my personal history as "the Whedon year")

II. Day three: Your favourite song used in an episode

Goodbye to you by Michelle Branch, as seen in the final montage in Tabula Rasa (6x08). Youtube disappoints me by not having a clip of this.

Anyway, BtVS has a lot of songs, most of them crappy, and I remember none of them. Except for this one, because while it is indeed cheesy, it works. We've just seen a pretty hilarious episode. And now we are seeing some of the most heartbreaking moments of the show: Giles is leaving and Tara is moving out. It's one of m favourite parts ever on this show. And it just made me cry, okay. A LOT. And a lot of that is down to the choice of song. (and Allyson Hannigan's face. Who can look at her crying and not start? HONESTLY)

And this scene also has the prettiest Spike/Buffy kiss ever. Just as a sidenote ;).


III.ETA: And in an effort to represent ALL Whedon shows IN ONE POST (except Dollhouse, cause I haven't actually seen that yet): I've just finished Shell on Angel. And can I just say that for a show that I don't like that much, it sure manages to make me cry a LOT .
A Hole in the World was SO SAD omg. And this one less so, but I still cried. Dammit. (Not to mention You're Welcome a while back. That one may have been even worse.)

Yay for Sherlock and Firefly! And oh god, A Hole in the World, Shells, and You're Welcome make me sob. I love Cordy so much, and Fred is possibly my favorite character in the Buffyverse. (Giles is a close second.) She might be my favorite character in ANYTHING if it weren't for several Harry Potter characters. So A Hole in the World and Shells? Ripped my heart out.

Cordy is one of my favourite characters in anything, ever, as well, so You're Welcome was so hard for me. But I'm glad they gave her a proper send-off, at least. And Fred's death scene has to be on of the saddest ever. She said "Why can't I stay"! That's like "I don't want to go", only 10 TIMES WORSE D:
