ok but no joke i’ve gone to work, gym and dinner but this has been running a loop in my head and i don’t know why, i’ve seen more 🔥 kisses but this one’s giving me all the butterflies #WI
We have seen better kisses, but I guess we were looking forward to this one. Episodes 7 and 8 successfully made us know and understand exactly what they were feeling all the time… and it was quite painful. So the kiss was cathartic.
The cry-yelling really is what did it for me. That and the fact that it was a very natural kiss sequence. Are directors finally turning away from frozen fish eye kisses? (please oh please)
It wasn’t the greatest drama kiss but it had the benefit of looking very real. No wide-eyed stare followed by eyelids falling shut like trapdoors. I appreciated that instead of AJ looking woebegone-yet-perfect with a single glycerin tear, her face and eyes were red as they should be from cry-yelling.
the trapdoor metaphor had me barking out a laugh..in a very quiet office 😆 but yes thank you for putting into words as to what helped make that scene memorable!!

excellently said – I genuinely felt like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders when she started cry-yelling at him!

They cut the scene pretty fast. I hope episode 9 will continue it.
