Awww. This is so poignant, but perfect.

Thank you :)

Awww, I love the idea of Jack leaving her, albeit business-related-but- nontheless-birthday-gifts every year. It makes it that much more sad when he realizes he completely forgot. Poor Liz, you just want to give her a big hug =(

The PMS tournament idea was totally cracking me up. Oh my god, that is SO something Jack would say on the show xD

Yeah, me too. We've gotten two of Jack's birthdays but none of Liz's, but I guess we finally have one coming up this year! I hope there are flashbacks *g*

THank you!

Oh god this made me really sad! But it was beautiful even though I feel really bummed out for Liz. I love the last birthday present which just makes it all the more worst. (But come to think about it, the show never did birthday presents-scenes between them.)

I can deal with no romance but I can't deal with them not being BFFs. Dammit Jack, you better do a million good things for her this coming season.

Thanks; it made me sad, too. And, I know! This past season she got him a card, but that's the only kind of birthday-present stuff we've seen. I'd bet that in "reality" they don't really do it - but in my dream world...

Yeah, seriously. Let's hope.

Oh, God, this hurts my heart so hard. :( Poignant and awful. (But, you know, awful in a good way.)

THEY BETTER BE TOTAL BESTIES FOR THE ENTIRETY OF SEASON FIVE. THIS JACK/LIZ-LITE BUSINESS HAS GONE ON LONG ENOUGH.

Thanks!

I AGREE. It bums me out a ton.

Damn, that was sad. But beautiful. I'm so fragile when it comes to these two. And I agree with the previous comments - show needs more Jack/Liz. Bring it, S5.

frey_at_last September 19 2010, 01:46:24 UTC

Thank you! Me, too.

I feel ready for S5. But I hope it charms me right off the bat. Come on, Tina!
