Arrow fave moment

ok, everyone's posting messages about favorite characters and favorite characters and stuff, so i've got one...what is your all time favorite moment in an FOL episode?

i think mine would have to be when they get into the paint fight, or when they get into the pillow fight studying for finals. lol.

I think mine would be when Jo says good-bye to Blair and Natalie when she leaves for California. That whole scene is great.

Well, I haven't seen all the episodes, and I have yet to see the famous "paint fight" scene, so... Out of the ones I HAVE seen, the moment that sticks out in my mind is in "Where's Poppa" when Blair's dad gets inditeted and it's really bothering Blair and everyone but Jo is trying to help her. Then when Blair and Jo are alone Jo really helps Blair out That moment just sticks out in my mind

Jo: Things are not going well here...I think I'm gonna have to hit somebody.

Natalie: I didn't ask you to stick up for me, Jo.

Jo: I think I'm gonna have to hit you.

My favorite moment would have to be when Blair has the car accident and she takes the
hospital food tray and sees the scare on her forehead and she looks up at Jo with tears in
her eyes and she realizes she is not a flawless beauty anymore.
I love that episode.

So far, of the ones I have seen, I have three favorites, all of which happen to be the Jo/Blair scenes.

1)At the college graduation, when Blair uses Jo's speech, even though she wasn't supposed too.

2) When Blair was in the accident and Jo was the only one who stayed after hours to be with her and make sure she was OK. Then Blair and Jo have a moment and I thought that was soo sweet. Brought tears to my eyes...... ::sniff, sniff::

3) The wedding when Jo asks Blair to be her maid of honor.

I think that all these moments demonstrate the true friendship they had, and I love those scenes!!

Some honorable mentions are:
*Nat skydiving
*Tootie and the pendant (heirloom)
*When Blair went w/ Mrs. G to find Jo when she was going to marry Eddie.

~NMK


------------------
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
~JO: There were things I always wanted to say to my father........now that I'm older I know better words!
*I am aware this is not exact, but I will watch the episode again and modify it at a latter time, like tonight*

ks, I think you and I are on the same wavelength, because that is one of my favorite moments too. I also liked the Christmas episode when Jo stays back with Mrs. G., because she can't afford a ticket to Miami, and Blair surprises her by staying home with them. Their touching moments of friendship when not in front of the other girls were just as memorable as their cat fights.
