Aaaahh! I was in class until 10pm and just watched the tape!

I laughed, I cried, and...Well,in Latin they say "veni"*G* - Oh My Joss!

Smoochies AND a Saliva Bridge?!?
Woo AND Hoo, Baby!

I'm going to try and restrain myself from downloading the clip. Seeing as though i've spoiled myself for nearly the entire episode its my punishment. I'll just have to wait till it airs over here in a couple months. But i just want to say that i am Joss' love slave for life now that he's given us this .

wasn't it four times? first the kiss on the forehead... then one, two and three... i must have watched it over and over for an hour b4 i slept at 130am... and this morning, watched it again for another 30 mins. b4 deciding to get up for work...

it was the most memorable event in the W/T history! the kiss finally happened and we are all happy kittens! the first time i saw it on the wallpaper, i couldn't move for several minutes and gasped "OMG, they kissed!" and still couldn't believe it until now!

i can hardly wait to see the kissy pic here on the board. (i mean up there on the message board poster.)

thank you Joss, Aly and Amber for that wonderful, precious and sweet memorable moment between Willow and Tara!

WE MUST ALL REJOICE AND BE GLAD! PAR-TAY TIME PEOPLE! pax

Gary thank you! SO many people thanking you at this moment.

I watched my video over and over before I went to bed. I amazed myself at how many times I could watch it and watch and watch it. Still the same effect.

Edited to add, and just how special was this kiss. Let me count the ways,

1. It was 3 kisses not one

The kiss, oh sorry, kisses was perfect, I can only imagine what it would've felt like to not be spoiled and then seeing the kiss on the forehead, saying to yourself...awww, that's so sweet...and then BOOM, three kisses on the lips, it would've been a total shock.

it WAS a total shocker! spoilerfree and i had no idea. saw the kiss on the forehead and thought, ok, we got a wee kiss anyway, then BOOM BOOM BOOM!

and did anyone else notice willow got the only kissage this episode (i think). from xander too. his forehead peck being the same as tara's... too cute.

I am stunned.

I am amazed.

I am numb.

I am totally blown away.

Such an intolerably sweet and beautiful moment in the very heart of the shadows, as the whole world begins to come apart. How can a soul feel such rapture and such anguish at once?

Perhaps, to summarize, a reversal of the traditional lines of the burial service of the Book of Common Prayer? "In the very midst of death we are in life."

I can say no more.

the other night in chat, we formed a "tape tree" to get copies of this ep to people who weren't able to see it when it aired. we will be burning the ep onto CDs that can be viewed on the computer.

*thanks God for VCRS and rewind*

I watched that kiss like...over and over. It was just soo sweet and I wasn't expecting it. The whole episode is just amazing! I had class from 4 to 10 and so I got home around 10:30 and the first thing I did was watch Buffy, and afterwards I was still so jazzed that they kissed that I had trouble sleeping. I was just laying there going "Wow!"

Totally awesome. The season keeps getting better and better.

i am so glad that i taped last nights episode!!! i've watched the willow/tara scene like... i lost count. i can't believe it finally happened!!!
on another note.. i had a heated discussion today with on of my friends about last night's episode. she thought the kiss was totally uncalled for and disgusting. i personal thought it was beautiful and it couldn't have been more of a right time. tara was so caring and sensitive and supportive. tara was so strong last night, it just shows how much good she is bring to the show. and when willow said tara's name, i melted. it was such a beautiful scene. not to mention, they KISSED!! i totally agree with all the other kittens about how this will hopefully lead to some tummy-rubbing action.
i think willow and tara are the perfect couple and i wish that someday i will have a relationship like theirs with my own willow or tara, i know you're out there somewhere!! (speaking on the behalf of someone who is still in the closet )
n-e ways...joss, you are so brilliant and aly and amber, VERY well acted. that's all i have to say.

Not quite sure where to put this, but....

The shooting script is up at the "Buffy Shooting Script Site". Everything is pretty much the same.
Except for Tara kisses Willow on the cheek and I think there is only one kiss instead of three. So it worked out for us for a change!
One thing I didn't notice was when Xander was washing off his hand after he punched
the wall, Willow mouthed "I Love You" to Tara.

So sweet!

And how many times can a person edit a post

i know my impression may not be as accurate as yours - cause you guys actually saw the scene and i only saw a part of it in my pc =*( - but what was more perfect for me was the need i saw at willow's face. i remember quite well a few months ago when my granny died - and i was very close to her - that all i wanted was to rest my head or kiss the lips of the one i love,to try to make it go away so i could think again. unfortunatelly i was not so lucky and the one i needed was in brussels while i was here.

Hey there Bothered, I could not tell from your name that you were a woman, heh heh. I always address someone in the formal way , until they tell me to do otherwise. So, did you manage to download the clip?

I am dutch btw, but my grannie was German, and I have an aunt who lives in Rensburg with her family. I have seen all the S4 eps (and the previous seasons) + Family from S5. But I read all the spoilers here, so I know pretty much all of what will happen, at least where Willow and Tara are concerned.

By wayward I meant, that maybe you were from the States and simply living in Germany.

Don't you get the BBC or some non-german speaking channel? I have not been to Germany for years now, we used to go every year when I was a kid. Oh I had better stop now. I *will* email you I think.

And now for our Internet Idiot of the Day Award...

Last night I saw someone post on the USEnet the claim that Willow and Tara didn't "really" kiss because their lips didn't actually meet. They kinda missed and ended up kissing other parts of their faces, and so it doesn't really count.

Do these people really believe the massive amounts of denial-BS they're throwing out, or has it simply become a game to see how many people they can tick off?

Fortunately, one of the people replying to his idiot was our very own Xita! I thought she did a good job,too.

you know, i don't even care about w/t detractors any more. people can say they have no chemistry, they aren't sexy, they aren't romantic, they didn't really kiss. i could care less, because especially after this ep, it's just so obvious that such people are DELUSIONAL!!!

anyone who wasn't watching the ep with their eyes closed saw how amazing that kiss was, how their lips most definately touched. people who say otherwise just sound stupid. people who say that w/t are lame or unbelievable no longer sound like they're articulating a valid opposing viewpoint, they just sound like idiots.

so that's why i no longer care about the w/t haters. they just make themselves look dumb.

Roxton posted 03-01-2001 21:10 EST (US)
These people are strange. I mean how could anyone watching The Body make the argument that Willow and Tara didn't kiss. They must be in some kind of permanent denial.
eekiboo posted 03-01-2001 21:32 EST (US)
i am still in cloud 9... i've kept playing it over and over..

when Tara holds Willow, she first holds and rubs W's arms, then shoulders, then neck, then half-ear and half-cheek and lingers her hands on W's face...

the kiss on the forehead means: i respect you Willow, i understand your pain, i'm allowing you to grieve so let it all out!

the kiss on the lips denotes: i love you! i love you! i love you! (well, duh!?)

Willow calms down as Tara says: We can do this and We can be strong... thus Willow responds by saying the "i love you" whisper as if to say "thank you for being here during this difficult time, i love you too..." pax

xita posted 03-04-2001 12:36 EST (US)
Ok, back to the kiss and back to the saliva (sorry April and Ruth).

I see 2 spit incidents. One small one after the second Kiss, from Willow top lip to Tara mouth, hence Tara's spit.

Second one of course is the string going from Willowmouth to Tarabottomlip. I thin this one belongs to Willow. Of course it's all probably well mixed by now so it's likely both theirs

Dr.G posted 03-04-2001 12:49 EST (US)
Okay Xita, I disagree with you again today. Hmmm, I hope this won't become a pattern.

It is my belief the spit is Tara's. See most saliva accumulates in the bottom of the mouth. It is Newton's famous law of gravity after all: spit sinks to the bottom.
Willow has her upper lip inside Tara's mouth here, sucking on Tara's *lower* lip, and when she removes her lips, she takes with her some Tara spit.
To be absolutely sure and scientifically grounded, we should do some more research to determine from whom a spit string would eminate, if one is kissed like that. And to be statistically significant Willow and Tara should kiss at least a thousand times or so. I volunteer to review the data.

This I am willing to do in the name of science. It is not a sacrifice really. I studied for this after all.

LOL, I think Dr.G will be overwhelemed with Data, we will all pitch in.

And.. Dr. reasercher G, you have forgotten about the consistency of spit. It's a little stickier than most liquidy substances, so gravity doesn't much come into play here.

Roxton posted 03-04-2001 13:10 EST (US)
Xita's right Garfield, we don't want you to be overwhelemed with Data. Besides don't we need a second sampling to confirm the original data.

[This message has been edited by Roxton (edited March 04, 2001).]

Dr.G posted 03-04-2001 13:15 EST (US)
Excuse me Xita, but I beg to differ. When one is somewhat excited, one excretes more saliva. It is called drooling. Drool is much more liquid than spit. It is my assumption that when one is kissing ones gorgeous co-star 400 times, one might get excited and therefore increase the saliva production. It is an autonomous reaction. Absolutely normal. Nothing wrong with it.

And Roxton, I already said, they need to kiss at least 600 more times, so we can be *absolutely* sure about this. But please people, leave this up to me. I can handle the data. Trust me, I am a professional.

What you all seem to have overlooked here is the NEED to take the sample data from live subjects. Taped data is not accurate enough given the graininess of the film. We will have to inspect lips and tongues and amount of spital produced by each person. I say with get them do re-do all 400+ kisses infront of a select panel. Now DrG I am willing to allow you to lead the panel, just don't get greedy. Research is also part of my job.

Yes, the official Blur site says it's German. Thanks so much to FroggyFrog and Wonko for the translation! The things that stick in my brain and nag at me, honestly...

that's why i love this board... LOL!

talking abt spit-exchange between W/T is our top priority so the longer they kiss (1,000 x 10 to the 10th degree) the better chance we can get the answer to the Q of which spit came from which lips.

we don't only need a scientific team (of drooling kitties,) we also need the SWAT team to surround the area of the smoochies lab to make sure no one interrupts! heh.heh.

cheers and peaceful kisses to y'all!

Wow eekiboo, (1,000 x 10 to the 10th degree kisses). Not only would we need a SWAT team, we would need a couple of dozen teams of medics for the kitties. We're talking serious sensory overload here.

Me? Unethical? What? When? Never *ever* would I. Tsssk.
Roxton, I told you to back off, didn't I? My senses can take it! How kind of you to worry. And yes, Paula, of course we need to not only tape these 1000 kisses, we need to watch it live and in person as well. That is a given.

Wow, I go away and I come home to a kiss like that, I couldn't have asked for more. And just as important was the I love you that Willow mouthed to Tara. Next time I want an I love you followed by a kiss, then I will be truly happy.

Glad to be back amongst you all, now back to girlfriend duty I go.

Alright, I just finished reading all the posts regarding the "Great Spit Debate" and decided to add my 2 cents. Now, after reviewing the data (Gods, if watching W&T kiss over and over again is considered research, then I wanna switch majors! ), I have concluded that they swapped saliva in the first couple of kisses as they locked lips. But, since Willow ended up basically sucking on Tara's lower lip, when they parted her lips kinda dragged a string of that mingled saliva with her. So, the results I came up with are kind of a combo of different arguments from other people. Of course, more research must be done to confirm this, though. *cough cough* Yes, much more research which I'm sure everybody would glady help participate in.

Thank god!

(And I'm a newbie, which you probably could tell...)

However, to get a little ranty, and apologies if this is being discussed already (which it probably is):

I've read that there are some little articles or mentions of "outraged parents--lebsian activity on TV!" Willow and Tara are not a sudden new couple. They've been an *official* couple since NMR--and they're just NOW bitching about it simply because, like people in love are known to do now and then, they KISSED? Our world is so ****ed up.

But, off my soapbox, it was a brilliant scene. Aly hasn't been that fantastic since NMR...no, she was better then she was in NMR. It was such a wonderful scene...I cry all throughout the episode, but when it sort of hits Willow that they have to be strong for Dawn too, I just break down. But Tara comforts her [rose]

hey annie, welcome to the kitten board!

now that you're a registered, posting kitty, i encourage you to head over to the Introduction Thread where you can introduce yourself and learn more about us!

this is a pretty chill, informal board, but we do have one or two posting rules in place just to make sure things stay friendly. when you have a sec, be sure to take a quick look at the board’s FAQ to acquaint yourself with them, as well as to learn about things like smilies editing your posts, how to link things, etc.

again, welcome to the kitty! have fun!

Garfield what can I say, I'm obsessed with this project.

The way I see it the project requires someone with the ability to stay cool, calm and collected in the face of overwhelming passion, completely objective in the face of intoxicating beauty and has the stamina to face hour after hour of endless Smoochies. The reality is that no living person can possibly face such a daunting task and succeed without the support of their fellow kitties.

eekiboo posted 03-05-2001 17:57 EST (US)
Roxton, we have to hire someone with that objective POV to watch W/T kiss for atleast 10 x 10 to the 10th degree! i betcha if they're making their observations, they would definitely drool and faint the first second Willow and Tara's lips touch! heh.heh. then we'd have to hire another, then another, then another.... until we ran out of lab coats to get us through the research... heh.heh.

the Great W/T Spit Exchange rules! we shld make a thesis abt this... or am i overreacting a way too bitty bit? heh.heh. cheers and peace!

Roxton posted 03-05-2001 18:11 EST (US)
Which is why this mission should only be undertaken by a team of courageous and dedicated kitties.

I made alittle GIF of the kiss... It takes a million bagillion minutes to load but just open the link, do something else on the net, and go back and it should be all loaded.

Jojo, that's great. I love the close up on the lips. I have never seen that in an animated gif. YEAH KISS!
judy posted 03-08-2001 12:21 EST (US)
WOO HOO! THEY KISSED!

OK, this was a sad attempt to bolster my posts and rid myself of "Cool Monster Fighter." But it was for a good cause.

Dave V posted 03-08-2001 12:39 EST (US)
Nice work Jojo. I agree with Xita, the close up is a nice touch. How did you do that?

(Btw, I'm glad my wife and I have a DSL connection - hooray for speedy downloads!)

Hello.
Just read something interesting at the Fanforum newsboard.
TVGuide Online interviewed Joss Whedon, who stated that, in fact, the WB were very reluctant to show the kiss, and asked him to delete it! JW had meeting with them and basically told them "It stays or I walk!". They then supposedly "reviewed" the final cut and decided to air it.

Hmmmmm......guess the WB isn't quite so enlightened as we'd like to think.
