I put together media compilations, taking 60 one-minute clips and putting them together to fit a theme. Last year I made the Hour of Love for Valentine's day and I am working on Hour of Love II. What are your favorite love stories that you want to see in this year's compilation?
Mad About You was a pretty realistic portrayal of marriage.
Ooh I haven't seen. Any scenes to point me towards?
I have quite a few throughout my years of watching TV shows, but my overall favourite would have to be Naomi and Emily from Skins, season 3 - 7.
They're undeniably one of the greatest relationship stories coming out of Skins. Even if you were to separate all the Naomily-related scenes from everything else in the series, it'd still make a fantastic romance movie/miniseries, one that's well-developed, taking us through flowery heart-warming days to gloomy and heart-breaking ones. It starts out as a cheesy and maybe even cliché 'gay girl have crush on straight girl' plot, but I think what made this one work from the get-go is that the series established that these 2 already had some 'awkward history' before the point where they see them first. Obviously the inevitable happens, but the subtle intricacy I think most viewers might not have noticed with Naomi and Emily is how both girls used each other as bridges to 'get away' from their complicated home lives. With Emily being seen as nothing more than her sister's shadow by her family who doesn't accept her for who she is, and Naomi whose mother comes and goes as she pleases and seemingly doesn't care about what Naomi wants, both girls were able to find themselves with each other.
Both Naomi and Emily's character development were done within the bounds of their relationship, and it is quite impressive when you see how much they changed throughout the series. A great relationship doesn't come without relationship drama though, so by the end of their story they'd gone through tender, heartbreaking, gut-wrenching, sweet, emotional and even sadder moments. Everything was executed perfectly; from their lustrous and tender lake scene, to the dark and gloomy tone of Emily's monologue on the edge of that rooftop, to Naomi's touching confession of love at the end of their school days, to the very poignant hospital scene where one girl is devastated about possibly having to see the love of her life for the final time, while the other feels the same about breaking her heart again.
Stede and Edward in Our Flag Means Death. That romance came on unexpectedly and drastically elevated the show. And it turns out there is a whole bunch of historical precedent for pirates, Blackbeard specifically, to have been involved in gay relationships.
Absolutely cannot wait for season 2.
This is amazing. I can't wait to watch these scenes. Thank you for writing this up!
Ian Gallagher and Mickey Milkovich from Shameless.
They are by far my favorite TV romance. Mickeys transformation throughout the show is all time stuff. Noel Fishers acting in the serious bits are phenomenal as well.
My default answer is always whater from Firefly :) So I have to say Mal and Inara.
And my least favorite is effing Meredith and effing Derek. Jeeeses christ. Which is weird, since the whole of Greys anatomy is about that relationship. Argh!
Diane and Sam in Cheers.
Sawyer and Juliet in Lost.
Glenn and Maggie in The Walking Dead.
Won't be popular, but I love when Sheldon Cooper flies to NJ and is proposing to her when she opens the door.
> I can't wait to watch these scenes
yea if you're planning to watch the series just know it's 6 fucking season long (plus 1 epilogue season). and there are a lot of stories that rage from great to absolutely fucking terrible. lol.
I have a lot more favourite romance stories too. Trigonometry is another great one. It's about a polygamous couple.
GLENN AND MAGGIE***

Chuck and Sarah from "Chuck"
Jaime and Cersei Lannister
criticize all you want, but this relationship had the most going on. Stakes, obstacles, phases, passion.
That show doesn't get mentioned enough. One of my favorite sci-fi shows of all time.
Nathan and Nora in Upload
Fitzsimmons from Agents of shield. Literally the universe could not keep them apart.
Nathan/Haley - OTH
I'd say D'Argo and Chiana from Farscape (mainly because someone's already said John and Aeryn).
So during a standard body-swap episode they do the obvious thing everyone would do in a body of the opposite gender, and decide they quite like each other. They have a relationship (mostly based on sex) which doesn't get a lot of attention, until Chiana decides to sleep with D'Argo's son (for unknown reasons).
Takes them probably over a season to start getting back together (I can't even recall when it happened), but in the end Chiana is pretty distraught at D'Argo's death.
Just seemed like a good "background" relationship to me.

Still gets me.😭
Oh my god they destroyed everything
The finale is one incredibly emotional moment after the other
Looking (HBO)
This is what I came here to say.
I cryed a lot while watching all 5 seasons of Chuck. Mostly Season 3 and 5 are heartbreaking in many ways. So many montages are made from this show.
Then of course HIMYM, which made love accessible for many ,,teenagers". Grey and Shephard in Grey's Anatomy. Of course Castle was a great detective show with really good romance plot. Love Life, which really reminds me 90s movies. Of course ,,The Affair". The Newsroom (Will and MacKanzie). Sex and the City as all time classic.
Recently - ,,Feel Good" has a unique vibe. Homeland has some love-stories in it. Don't forget on Normal People with Paul Mescal. But I found the relationship in it too much toxic and unbelievable, so after few episodes it kinda lost me. Oh, and Pachinko was really great!
Oliver and Felicity….
Ragnar and Athelstan from Vikings
Tim and Dawn from the UK Office
Regarding Firefly, I also really liked Kaylee and Simon. I think Jewel Staite said had the show continued, she would’ve loved to see the pair get married and have a baby.
Not exactly steep competition considering the typical criteria is “hero meets other hot celebrity of opposite gender”.
Laura Roslin and Bill Adama in BSG reboot and/or Alan Shore and Denny Crane in Boston Legal.
If you have a different answer it’s only possible because you’ve never seen BSG/Boston Legal or you are a child.
Shameless doesn't get enough credit. It explores just about the whole spectrum of mental illness in a pretty realistic way and deals with class consciousness well too

Walter White and his own ego on Breaking Bad
Ian and Mickey from Shameless
The quality bounced around from episode to episode, but it was frighteningly creative.
It really showcases what can be done with practical effects vs digital.
Honestly, the thing that really sells me with that show is the incredible chemistry between the main cast. I can look past low budget sci-fi easily when there is a crew of characters that really fucking run with what they're working with. And everybody in that show is giving 110%. The body switching episode remains in my top 5 favorite sci-fi moments of all time for that very reason.
Dean Winchester (and to a lesser extent, Sam) and "Baby", the 1967 Chevrolet Impala featured throughout the show.
Alisha & Simon - Misfits
Thomas & Alana - The 4400
Max and Liz on Roswell. Their love is everything.
And I will never not see the actress that played That Bitch Tess as anything but That Bitch Tess.
Booth and Bones. They compliment eachother.
Incest, Murder
Lets just pretend that final season dosen't exist
Detectorists — Terry & Sheila are so in love and supportive throughout. They are older and have pasts, but endlessly support and admire each other.
on the eve of a big event:
RUSSELL Where will you be?
TERRY Sheila and I have a prior engagement.
LANCE What? Where are you going?
TERRY Lindy hop.
LOUISE Can’t you forgo the lindy hop?
TERRY Sheila’s been looking forward to the lindy hop.
LANCE So dance more important than detecting?
TERRY No. But Sheila is.
(Edit: they have pasts, not pasta)
Parker and Hardison in Leverage
The one told today in E3 of The Last Of Us was beautiful.

This is the scene I used in last year's! Then in the Hour of Friendship, I used the scene when Turk gets back from his honeymoon and they chase each other around the hospital.
Amazing, thank you!
You'll be amazed what you fit in one minute.

"I did it for me. I liked it."
I have zero time to watch it before February 10th, but maybe at some point lol.
That's adorable.
This show is the best. They quietly support each other throughout the three perfect seasons.
