iariaI just spent far too much time watching Meredith/Cristina scenes on You Tube. It reminded me just how much I love them and made me want to catch up on the show. I really don’t know why they weren’t a bigger ship in the fandom because they are so amazing.
* This scene from 3x17 still makes me teary-eyed when I watch it. It was perfect. “Thank you for not dying.” Oh, Cristina.
* A scene from 1x03 at the start of their friendship here
* This classic moment from 2x01 - she's her person!
* Meredith defending Cristina to the others in 3x10 here. "You're my sister. You're my family. You're all I've got"
* Future elderly Meredith and Cristina from 5x01 here This scene always makes me smile. This is always going to be my canon for their far future.
* This video is all the Derek/Meredith scenes in 5x07 except really it's all about how Meredith and Cristina "come as a set". I loved the girls laughing at him at the end.
* The beginning of this clip from 5x08 has my favourite Derek/Cristina scene ever. After Sadie forces Cristina out of Meredith's bed she joins Derek in the kitchen and complains about it. "Welcome to my world" LMAO. I love how this show puts Meredith/Cristina on the exact same footing as Meredith/Derek. Why are they not more popular?!
Their entire relationship is a series of wonderful friendship moments. I'm just going to stop now even though there are so many others I could mention. I ♥ Meredith/Cristina so much.
I watched some Sailor Moon clips as well including this scene from the end of the R movie which amused me. Ami’s memory is about how Usagi drags her into having fun and Makoto’s is about how Usagi wasn’t afraid of her when they first met. Meanwhile both Rei and Minako’s memories are about Usagi admiring them. LOL.
I also watched the dub version of that scene which I hadn't seen before and it was... really bad. Just - wow.
I watched the first four episodes of Noir and am mainly neutral about it. I found myself drifting constantly during the third episode (which was actually the second episode because there was a mess up in the links). I did find the fourth episode more interesting. I really wanted to like this series – two female assassins looking for the truth, a conspiracy, apparently very femslashy – but I’m not getting into it as quickly as I thought I would. I don’t dislike it but I’m not very engaged nor do I love either of the girls at this point. High School of the Dead had a number of issues, and the fan service makes me roll my eyes reflectively whenever I think about it, but I was involved and interested from the very first episode. I'll give it a couple of more episodes.
I love the Fashion It So tumblr (here) It makes me so nostalgic. Sometimes I come across episodes that I either missed or have completely forgotten about like...
Star Trek: TNG 4x23 ‘The Host’
In it Beverly falls in love with a negotiator only to discover when he’s injured that he’s a Trill. I liked the episode well enough and it left me wanting to read some Beverly/Odan futurefic but there were two things about it that really bothered me.
1) Riker volunteers his body to host Odan until his new one can arrive. Okay, that was really nice of him. But then Beverly has sex with Odan... while he’s in Riker’s body! WTF, show?! That is just so wrong even if he doesn’t remember it. If he’d given permission then okay but we saw no evidence of that and it really skeeved me out.
2) Beverly rejects Odan and a relationship with him pretty much as soon as she sees that his new body is female. Sigh. This would have bothered me a little less if she hadn’t just slept with him in her friend's body and if we hadn’t just spent the previous twenty minutes watching her come to the conclusion that she loved Odan regardless of his body. Way to completely back track on that, show!
