I'm exactly the same. I've watched SBM all the way through once. I did watch Christian hugging his pillow/Lucy hug a few times the night it aired for some masochistic reason, though.

On the other hand, I've watched telling pregnancy and 'I can't say it back' more times than is probably healthy. The acting is just so good.

'I can't say it back' ep is actually one of my favourites these days. It's hideous to watch, but the writing is fantastic and you totally understand why both Syed and Christian do the awful things that they do to each other, and you just feel so desperately sorry for both of them and can't really blame them.

Oh, what an uplifting start to the thread. Maybe next time I start a thread I could be discussing Christian and Syed dying or something.

Good luck with your placement, Cookie!

Ok, managed to save this somehow!
Congrats on new part everyone and congrats on OP momentarything

Not at all, that's the beauty of this place

I have to say, the Vic ILY didn't even come close to making my list, although I like it, and I confessed yesterday that Mutual ILY doesn't really do anything for me like it seems to do for others

Different scenes affect people in different ways and can be memorable for all sorts of reasons... it makes all these DIC lists very interesting!
Lol. That makes me feel a little better about not liking it!
I love how everyone has those different opinions though - both Vic ILY/handhold and Mutual ILY both made my top 8! I love seeing the reasons people have for loving different scenes!

I love MQ fight/fridge talk to slightly unhealthy can-quote-every word levels, it'll probably go down as my favourite ever scene. I think it's like MT said - you've got everything that makes Chryed them in one scene. The chemistry, the hotness, the humour, the love - they're both falling (or fallen) even then and neither of them are hiding it very well. Mind you, Christian's not even trying, bless him.
What's really weird is that I agree with every word there.. Maybe it's because I'd already seen the proposal and knew what happened between them in the end that it didn't have the same effect on me?

Yay, new thread. Congrats on the OP, mt!

100% agree with you on 'can't say it back' episode. Your heart just breaks for both of them - completely understand why Syed does what he does, but it doesn't make it hurt any less.

The same writer wrote both that one and the next one (Amira's departure), right? Wonder where it all went so wrong... I suppose there wasn't a lot any writer could do if they're told 'give us screechy hysterics and lots of them!'. I always think they were so focused on doing the kind of big, messy reveal that Santer had become known for that no one realised it wasn't right for those characters until it was too late.

Hmm, loving all this nostalgia. I assume that was vf's aim?

New part congrats mt

And in reply, I really love "I can't say it back" as well. It was another one that I considered putting in there. Maybe it's the way Christian holds Syed's face, and the way he says "what about what you said you wanted..to be with the one you love?" Yes, it's sad, but I love that it has the power to bring out that emotion in me.

Hello Part 190 and congrats to Steph! That split sneaked up while I was replying to a pm. What a great OP - I totally agree about 'I can't say it back' - one of the best scenes of joint angst EVER, and I am totally unable to pick between them, so much pain for them both.

Wow, we are on the final countdown of the last 10 to Part 200. Exciting times. I wonder if we can make 200 by the time the engagement is announced, I doubt it somehow.

I'm off to the end of the last thread to read the DIC's from you and from Chicklette, so will be gone a while - goodnight in advance to those who may leave while I'm off reading.

Thanks to starfish for the congrats too x

BIB1: No I don't think it's bad. I think I might have one or two scenes like that on my list as well If things look too down on the island and I'm looking at nothing to drink or eat, they might just help me find the courage to finish myself off

BIB2: Noo, don't! As Chicklette said; scenes affect us all differently, and it is just the differences that makes these DICs ( ) and this thread interesting! I don't know which will be my absolute favourite yet, I have a few, and they would be faves for different reasons, but probably you'll be all reading about them...
BIB: Haha! that made me laugh!!! Exactly... everyone needs depressive time!

And me hiding didn't last long! The pull of the thread is too great! :sleep: lol.

Yep, it was the same writer. This is also the guy who wrote therapy and 'I love him more, and in ways you couldn't possibly imagine', so he's clearly a fantastic writer for them, and pre-reveal ep wasn't just a fluke. IIRC, the reveal had a lot cut from it, but I don't think it could've been great anyway. That style of reveal was never going to suit the Chryed story. It doesn't really explain a few of the dodgy lines, but I guess it was just so unsuited to them that the writer was at a bit of a loss.

Ha! I love it too. A nice reminder of why I love them so much.

New thread... woohoo! Congratulations on OP mt

I love how DIC is opening up all of the brilliant discussion, it's nice to reminisce about all of the old clips

I've just randomly been reading WW about Ben coming out and there's obviously been a bit of Chryed discussion. It seems as though a fair few do think that Chryed haven't been developed very far beyond being 'just a gay couple' so I think if BK does stick to his word and give them storylines that aren't defined solely by their sexuality then they may gain some more 'fans'
Sorry... bit of a pointless ramble

My mum came home yesterday and she'd been having dinner with some colleagues and she said someone was there called Syed and he was sat next to someone called Christian... :sleep:

Oh hello new thread!! Well done everyone, and congrats to mt for opening post

Well, I'm afraid the battle with my washing-up is still undecided ...The moment I walked away from my laptop, inspiration started to flow,.. so back to the writing board it was...

So with the washing-up only done half , but a chapter 3 now nearly finished , it is time for me to bid you all goodnight!
Shamelessly (well,...) plugging my chapter 2 again , for those who missed it on the previous part :sleep:
So much I need to say to you - chapter 2

It's back to work for me tomorrow, so see you when I come home. Take care everyone, and speak soon. :yawn:

ttfn
