I beg to differ--there are some profoundly happy moments in Joss' shows. And in response I offer this list, which came to me in the middle of the night:
Happy Moments in the Whedonverse
- Tara and Willow so happy dancing that they float off the floor (in Family, I believe). Sure we all know (now) their miserable fate, but it's a transcendentally beautiful moment.
- As is Tara and Willow singing in OMWF (though, admittedly, Tara is under a spell)
- Zoe and Wash in bed discussing Zoe's death. Adorableness.
- Inara and Mal enjoying a cup of 'engine wine' at the end of Shindig.
- The whole crew of Serenity eating dinner together like a happy (if slightly dysfunctional) family at the end of Safe.
- Anya all adorable pre-wedding (though we know how that turned out...)
- Fred. In general, but especially when she got all excited about tacos. She was such a spark of happy in the dark show.
- Spike's sacrifice at the end of Buffy season 7. He's ready to go and seems happy (kind of) to give up his life (so he thinks). And it's just so fitting it's almost happy.
- Can I count the 'We are as gods' fantasy? Please? It makes me happy every time.
