Okay guys, I had to ask this question: what's everyone's favorite scenes from W@W? Just the sort of mindless question I come up with that I'd like to know how you guys feel...so. To begin...

One of my favorite scenes would have to be that scene with Roshaun, Dairine, and Roshaun's parents. I just thought it was very sweet, and enjoyable to read...and sort of hinted of Dairine/Roshaun. (So you all know, I don't care about ships. I don't support any certain ones, so...back to my thoughts...) You see Roshaun seeming a bit awkward, unlike the polished character he is during WH. I guess when you meet someone's parents, you see them in a different light. Another reason why I liked it: it was 11:00 on Thursday night. I was MAD. It just made me laugh and helped make my day better...

Well...I support some Smile And I do support D/R, so...yeah, that was one of my favorite scenes too. Just the image a Roshaun going "Mottthhheerrrr..." had me in stitches. I also was a bit struck by the part where Ronan and Kit are kind of eyeballing Dari and Ro and they both are like "ha, they'll never understand!" *sniff* It's just so...Dari and Ro!

Also-- the "Timeheart" scene. Ah, the angst (and the hope...hehe, spiffy prophetic mobiles).

I think my favorite scene would have to be Nita and Sker'ret doing battle with the mercenaries at the Crossings, up through Carmela showing up with her curling iron.

Another scene I liked a lot (well, not so much liked as was strongly affected by) was Nita visiting Tom only to find he'd forgotten about wizardry. That was really heart-wrenching.

Mercredi, you took the words out of my mouth!
The Crossings- Oh, Carmela, just... Ooh! *Bouncebouncebounce* I've said it enough other places so I won't clog it up here. But... tcha. And how completely selfless Nita was in almost giving up her life to defend the Crossings.
And Nita visiting Tom. It speaks for itself. It hits her home hard enough (ooh, excessive alliteration) to really inspire her.
The only thing I'd add to that would be the Dairine and Roshaun's Meet-The-Parents. With the whole dressing fiasco to Roshaun's father's questions about their relationship? Heart Smiley Evil Laugh
Who am I kidding? The whole book was great!

I loved the scene where Kit was trying to talk to Nita about Ronan. That line about Nita looking at Ronan like "you-annoy-me-but-I-can't-take-my-eyes-off-you" put wind into the sails of my ship!!

I personally loved the scene where Dairine and Roshaun went to the Mobiles' world.

Ok. Here's some originals for you, I am going to repeat everyone but anyway... my favs:
1) Roshaun and Dair vs. Parents
*dies laughing, silly smirk and grin on face, bursts out in laughter @ Motthhheeerrr!*
2) Carmela convincing the tawalfs with the chocolates. I had to actually stop and point the part out to my friend, and I even went as far as making her read it.
3)"I'm lying on an effing star wars bedspread. Will I ever be able to look myself in the eye again?"
*chokes with laughter, is rolling about on the floor*
jeez I loved the whole book!

I particularly liked Carl in the last chapter: "'Imagine not doing anything but work for the TV station.' He shuddered. 'It was a nightmare.'" Wink I was also awfully fond of Carmela showing up at the Crossings and the scene with Tom and Nita in the middle. *sniff* But I also really liked Ronan and the Spear- and I really loved the twychild. They were so cheerful!

Blue Laugh HA HA HAAA!!!
I was Carmela for Halloween! God, I should've taken pictures! I had a curling iron with multicolored yarn wrapped all around it and red hair streaks and insanely brightly-colored clothing... ha ha, it rocked! Cool

Wow, Alethia, I wish I lived near you so I could see that! Sometime I want to go as Dairine or Roshaun...that would be so much fun. I would probably be Roshaun, actually, because I like to cross-dress anyways, so...yeah.

I was thinking about doing that, because I'd just take my Palm Pilot and wear a large sparkly pendant thing... but ya need a Roshaun as well. Maybe next year, ey? Wink

I second the comment about S. and N. defending the Crossings, and Carmela negotiating with the tawalfs, especially the New York accent of her Speech. Now I have to go out and find out where to get that particular brand of chocolate (is a fan of dark chocolate). Mmmmm...

BTW, I had to go all the way to LONDON to find a copy of W@W. Forbidden Planet is a GREAT store, but that doesn't say a lot about our local Borders, which still doesn't have any in yet.

Oh my god....

FINAL SCENE FINAL SCENE FINAL SCENE.

Yes.

Ponch fighting the wolf-darkness on the moon.
Mobiles!
All K/N stuff since, in a drastic reversal, I'm madly shipping them.
Basically everything everybody has already said...oh God, Tom when he'd forgotten his wizardry...I think I was gasping in shock when I first read that. What a horrible feeling.

*sigh* I loved this book so much...there are so many good scenes...but the way it ended was just...amazing (too many ellipses!).

chocolate black market! yeeeeeeaaah!
hahahahaha!
.

I like the whole part on Wellakh because it's just so tense.
It's also kind fo funny when Carmella just can't belive that Nita knew this "way too hot" guy and never told her.

I thought that the end was the best. Especially with Kit so depressed. It was the only time I've ever cried because of reading a book besides when Nita's mom died (I'm a bit.... obsessed with the books).

Next was the "We'll rot together" scene with Dairine and Roshaun. And finally, the scene with Nita at the koi pond. So many memories. *reflects back on Nita tossing a penny into the pond*


Ronan's my role model. He's cool, smart, and has a pen that can destroy whatever he wants it to. If only life were that easy.

Hmm. I think I have to many favorite scenes.

-When they first meet Memeki
-Carmela negotiating with the Tawalfs
-Anythingwith Dairine and Roshaun (Am I turning into a shipper? So Very Confused)
-Anything with Ronan and "The Toothpick"
-And of course, the ending. ( Ha ha I cried too, The Red Death)

So, I guess its easier to say I loved it all!

Carmela and the CHOCOLATE!!!!!!!!!
'Carmela took hold of the outer black paper wrapper between finger and thumb ...and ever so gently started to pull on the paper, as if to unwrap it.
"No

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!! Blackmailing aliens for chocolate, if only my sister was so easy to convince! Oh well.

But the Nita and Kit scene, where Kit finally brings up, 'The Kiss' comes a very, very close second. Oh, and the 'emphatic' hug at the end.

Okay, okay I admit it. I DO want an N/K thing happening...... or at least it's a million times better then N/R. *throws up*

My favourite scenes:
"We're on errantry, and boy do we ever greet you!"
Ronan and the pen-Spear!
"effing star-wars bedspread" BTW, has anyone noticed that Dari's had that since DW, and took it on holiday with her?
"Callahan's Unfavourable Instigation"
"the manual for the TV!"


Bright star that was, dark star that falls, in your downward arc we greet you. Do your poor worst!

well carmela and the chocolate has been taked to bits already but stilll YEAH!!!! dark chocolate, not so much, me not like dark chocolate, but then im a guy, and ive been told several tmes dark chocolate is a girl thing anyways.... *sigh* too confusing. im not clear on the whole "shipping/shipper" thngy but I got the gist of it now. Haveing read DD's spoilers for AWoM I think Nita's going to come to her senses about Kit and possibly see something there,
Personal favorite woukld be the Pseudo timeheart scene... i have read it more times then i have read the book, but only cause I think maybe Betty Callahan could come back btw is it Betsy or Betty for Mrs.Callahan, cause PM uses both
