Okay. That was honestly the most fantastic episode I have ever experienced of anything in my entire existence.

First off:

The insane and utter cuteness that it SyVa, stuffy or otherwise.

(Note A: Tess and I totally called the stuffy part.)

The insane and utter cuteness of Neiss.

The bowling thing. Of course, what sucked was that our local radio station use "going bowling" as a euphemism for "having sex" so my mother DIED. So Weiss is all, hey, Nadia, wanna go bowling? And my mom 's like, OH MY GOD, HE'S ASKING IN FRONT OF THEM?! And Nadia's like, yeah, let's go bowling!

(it was hysterical, really.)

Daddy. I adore Daddy.

The J/I vibes! All over the place. And Irina so isn't dead. She's not. Nope.

(Nadia and Weiss are still bowling. But whatever.)

"Laura- All my love forever a day, Jack."

And Marshall being all, wow, Mr. Bristow... I never saw that side of you before!

(And Daddy being all, okay, the Irina thing? Has to stop.)

(Because she's not dead.)

So, Syd and Vaughn walk up together, under an umbrella, and it was cute.

Was anything about them not cute?

(Beside those badly photo-shopped photos. I mean, dude. Hedes were pastede on YEY.)

The whole proposal. Oh my fucking god.

Like, you don't understand.

I remember that. Remember, guys? Three days starting tonight in Santa Barbara. The Biltmore. Presidential suite. A personal chef. But Syd wanted to go to the zoo. She got ice cream and cotton candy and shared it with Vaughn and giggled madly and she was just so much the cutest little girl in the world that Vaughn couldn't wait, and instead of popping the question in the room he paid a million dollars for, with the perfect speech he had planned, he just popped the question, right there, and her face lit up even more as she accepted.

(Karen and David got it.)

And shower sex. And kissing in the bathroom. And Syd shouldn't wear pearls in the shower.

And when they curled up like little baby cats?

And the wedding rings?

AND THE DATE AT THE END.

Nica and I decided the continuity people decided they couldn't spoil us with too many past references- the books and the Santa Barbara was enough. Sending them to Trattoria di Nardi would've been too much. Paris was good, though.

Seriously. That was the best episode ever.

ROFL! I turned and said to my mother: "Isn't the shower bad for those pearls?"

[sunshine-queen.livejournal.com]

I was all, GOM SHOWER SEX.

And then I was like, I don't think she's supposed to be wearing those pearls in the shower.

And Mom was like, I was just thinking that.

And we both paused.

And then shrugged.

WORD. I got chills during the Santa Barbara scene, and then I got all sniffly and love love LOVE.

How hot was Vaughn "doing his homework"? Or was that just me? *G*

They went to PARIS for DINNER. *dies*

[sunshine-queen.livejournal.com]

Dude. It was so hot. Watching that man assemble a gun? Maybe I'm just super violent, but whoa. WHOA.

The only complaint I had about Paris was that Vaughn's favorite restaurant in the world was in Rome! Why not Rome, Vaughn?

(But Vaughn? In Paris? Goood.)

SO hot. Priest!Vaughn and now this? My cup runneth over with things I didn't even know would be hot until I saw Vaughn doing them. Thank you for educating me, Michael Vartan.

How's this: they were already past Rome at that time and Paris was on the way. Also, their failed first date was in France. If they're going to start fixing their past, that would be the first place to start.

Plus, he can woo her with the hotness that is him speaking French. I'm picturing this hole-in-the-wall cafe in the Marais with candles and a snooty waiter and polished wood walls. And Vaughn. Speaking French.

This episode just gets better and better.

Vartan is a gifted educator. I have two words for you: Blue oxford.

I totally made the Nice/Paris connection. And I'm seeing this. Vaughn, speaking sweetness in french. And lots of candles, 'cause they make everyone all glowy. And polished wood walls to reflect the light. And wine. Mm. And french food. And french Vaughn.

*melts* Write this, Kerlin!

[kerlin.livejournal.com]

Mmmm. Mmmmmmmmmmm. I swear, I almost wore a hole in my DVD with that scene, and he might even make me *like* Les 400 Coups.

Ye-es. Candles dripping wax onto a burgundy tablecloth. White wine and feeding each other creme brulee for dessert.

I wish I wrote porn. This fic needs to end in porn.

[sunshine-queen.livejournal.com]

Don't I know it. Watch. Track back. Pause. Sigh. Watch. Track back.

Heavy scents and far-away music and long, longing stares.

Sometimes artfully crafted love is better than porn.

[kerlin.livejournal.com]

Siiiiiigh.

Yes, we'll see what my tomorrow afternoon looks like, and if I can be more productive on outlining Rose. I won't let myself write more fic until I've worked through the next bit of it.

Dude. That was the best episode ever.

[non-horation.livejournal.com]

Yeah, the pearls cracked me up, too. And the way Syd kept licking his face. :P

Also, Nadia and Weiss obviously went bowling in the Subplot Sub-basement. Which means that we might see them again five eps from now, if we're lucky. :P

You're gonna hate me...

[xenaamber.livejournal.com]

Because I didn't watch. Because there was tennis. And I am sorry. (The tennis was good though.) *tear* I gather I picked a bad week to miss?

Re: You're gonna hate me...

[sunshine-queen.livejournal.com]

You picked, like, the stupidest week EVER to miss.
