ozfroggirlDAY 21: Favorite ship
Following on from yesterday, in one of the hardest decisions so far, Spike and Lynda from Press Gang would have to be my favourite ship. While these two may seem like just another David and Maddie Moonlighting clone I actually prefer their relationship to the one it was based on. Maybe it's the fact that they are teenagers (and didn't have to deal with complex issues such as pregnancy and marriage) but something about these two made their relationship seem rawer and almost more pure than most. I love that nothing was ever easy for them and I love how epic their relationship turned out to be over a tiny forty-odd half hour episodes. The scene (actually the whole episode) where Spike first tells Lynda that he loves her just kills me every time I watch it (as does every subsequent admission - each one more heartbreaking than the last). Spike's absolute devotion to Lynda, no matter how many times she hurts him or knocks him down, is just gorgeous on his end. Constantly being there for her and trying to bring out her humanity and help her be a better person is so utterly romantic it makes my heart melt. I"m not ashamed to admit that Spike Thomson was always going to be my future husband. I also adore the way the final episode played out, and in particular that final scene. The whole Spike not wanting to kiss Lynda because he's afraid that he'll wake up and then kissing her anyway. Just perfect. ♥
