Valentine's Day Countdown: All You Need is LoVe


I have another TV couple, that much like Pacey and Joey, I discovered only recently but can't get enough of. The two actors have amazing chemistry and their coming together on the show was a surprise. But once it happened, that was it. Perfection. Unfortunately, the show was canceled prematurely and we never got to see a satisfactory resolution but as anyone who watched the show knows in there heart, these two were the end game. Nothing else would do. There are 2 scenes I want to feature in this installment simply because I just can't choose between them. 

#2 Logan and Veronica kiss for the first time and Logan tells Veronica that he thought they would be epic from Veronica Mars.

The show starts with Veronica as a pariah and Logan and her are mortal enemies. Over the course of the first season and with the suicide of Logan's  mother they get drawn closer and closer together, until…

…let's watch shall we?...I'll wait till you get back.


I know right! That is one of the best first kisses ever.  I just love how absolutely dazed Logan looks. And you can tell that she felt that kiss all the way down to her toes. Those two have the kind of intensity that will never get old, no matter how long their together.  Their physical compatibility matched only by their ability to match wits. They could keep up with each other and were perfect sparring partners.

But as is the course of all TV couples, the sailing is never smooth and they break up (they break up a few times, but that never sticks). Until one night at a prom party a clearly unhappy and inebriated Logan sits down next to Veronica and tells her a few things.

Veronica: So what are you like now?
Logan: You know, tortured... ever since I got my heart broken.
Veronica: Hannah really did a number on you, huh?
Logan: Come on, you know I'm not talking about Hannah. I thought our story was epic, you know, you and me.
Veronica: Epic how?
Logan: Spanning years and continents. Lives ruined, bloodshed. EPIC. But summer's almost here, and we won't see each other at all. And then you leave town... and then it's over.
Veronica: Logan...
Logan: I'm sorry about last summer. You know, if I could do it over...
Veronica: Come on. Ruined lives? Bloodshed? You really think a relationship should be that hard?
Logan: No one writes songs about the ones that come easy.


I just don’t know how she did not let him kiss her. You could see that she wanted nothing more in every bit of body language.  These two really are an epic love.  I wish more than anything that we could have seen them get back together, overcome those obstacles (many of their own making) and just let themselves be happy, damn the consequences. Alas, that is not to be, unless they are ever able to get a movie made that is.
