'Reality check- I’m your supervising agent, I’m not your decoy...'

[marguerite_krux]

Guys! God, that three day weekend was torture, I hate being away from LJ, it's my home, damn it, and I missed you all so much. *glomps everyone*

Btw? If you're feeling ignored lately, it's not you, it's me. I'm smack bang in the middle of exam period hell, plus we're getting ready to move out of rental limbo into the first home we've owned in my nearly-21 years of life. Hectic would be an understatement. But be prepared to be spammed with my love once it's settled down, 'k?

---

So, I only caught like, ten minutes of Sanctuary, but OMG! *spazzes out* Amanda! Brunette! British accent! GUH! I am totally excited.

* Will kinda reminds me of Daniel Jackson. The whole 'discredited genius that nobody takes seriously' thing? Yeah? Also, the way he brushed off Helen Magnus, was reminiscent of Daniel with Catherine Langford, and actually, with his other self in Continuum. Kind of an ass, impatient, abrupt...I really want to smack characters over the head when they do this. I'd be totally like, 'Hell yeah, bring on the wackiness, make my life more exciting, woo-hoo!' And he's just bailing on her, going back to his boring job, his boring existence... I would never play hard-to-get the way these characters always do, gargh.

* Don't hate me for this, but Ashley? Made me think of Buffy. Now, before anyone blows up at me for not looking past the blonde ass-kicking machine similarities, I've only seen her vroom-ing around on her motorcycle, I haven't even heard her speak yet. It's just I know she's supposed to  be witty and fierce and a really tough capable chick. Also she's blond. And I just read this really cool fic, Going Home Through a Starry Mirror, in which Buffy ends up in Stargate!verse as a nine year old amnesiac who's adopted by Carter, so I'm working on the whole 'daughter of a character played by Amanda Tapping' theme. I was pretty dubious about the concept of that fic, but it's really engrossing and I'd recommend it, 'tis a good read.

*Also? KAVAN SMITH! Why did nobody tell me he was in this? I have such a huge crush on this guy, my heart still goes all fluttery when I remember meeting him! *bounces*


Isn't he just utterly gorgeous?! *flails* He was so utterly sweet and charming and I honestly thought I might combust on the spot because I could barely contain all my happy and glee. *wriggles*

Much love and eternal gratitude to muzzy_olorea for directing me to the pretties. *squishes* I googled in vain, and would’ve never come across this shrine to Robin Tunney and Simon Baker without assistance, so *mwah* ^_^

After endless squee, I collected a few of my favorites for a mini Robin!picspam. [luxuria_oceanus, my fellow gawker of beautiful women, you should appreciate this on that advanced, sophisticated mental level we operate on...*g*] It's...probably not work-friendly. I don't know, it's fairly tame but I probably would make sure your boss isn't lurking behind you anywhere.

 

Um…so it took me a moment to realize she was probably pointing at the trophy. *coughs* My gaze followed her finger to a totally different destination… :P

I’m so used to seeing her as the sensible, practical Lisbon that my eyes about dropped out of my head to see the sexy, sultry side of her. *fans self* My brain's pretty much mush right now. Don't expect anything intelligent out of me for a while. [Do you ever?]

---

Vidspam:

OMG! I never realized this before but- are Lisbon and Jane actually HOLDING HANDS when they make a break for the car as it’s raining?!

-

I’ve always loved this scene because of its levity and whimsy and how hopeful it is. And shippy.

So, Jane’s just pretty much reinforced that he’s still determined to hunt down and kill Red John- vengeance! retribution! screw the law! damn her bourgeois conventional nature, he’s out for blood, rarrr!- but a second later...



Jane: Shall we?



...they’re skipping down the stairs, all smiles and giddy like little kids in the rain.

But are they holding hands? Damn you, blurry cap! I’m not convinced. PLEASE CONVINCE ME.

Amanda is GORGEOUS as a Brunette! Drop. DEAD. GORGEOUS. I tell you true. Just saw her a couple months ago at a con in my area. :D

Don't worry. Will really loosens up after the first 2 eps. The first 2 eps are based primarily on the webisodes and they were taking Will in a totally different direction than the series did. Having seen the entire first season, I'm more than comfortable as perciving Will as a profoundly damaged and very bitter man whose soul was quite literally saved by his inclusion into Magnus' world. He's underused on the whole for much of the first season, but given him a chance and I think you'll find him fairly likable. (You'll also find that, by episode 4, he's ditched the glasses because the producers for sick of people comparing him to Daniel. He's really not much like Daniel at all.)

I can see where Ashley might strike you as being Buffy-esque, although I think you'll find that she really isn't. She's a loose canon, I'll grant, but she's WAY more responsible and serious about the job she does than Buffy was at her best (even if Ashley IS highly irreverent). Ashley understands that the stakes are life-and-death. And, unlike Buffy, Ashley never goes through a "but i don't WANNA do this job!!!" phase. Ashley LIKES what she does, She's a considerably darker and more intense personality. but she has a playful side in spite of it all (i've probably quoted this for you before)

Ashley: *is on her way out the door*
Henry: "I thought your mom grounded you?"
Ashley: "She did. I'm just... going to out to get... some feminine products."
Henry: *smirks* "Feminine like a crate of uzies?"
Ashley: "Dude. You want me to get us some new toys or not?"

and, later, after an arms dealer has described all the illegal modifications to an assault-riffle

Ashley: *laughs* "Sylvio, stop it! You're turning me on..."

or, when Will's trying to wrap his head around the things that go on at the Sanctuary

Ashley: "Oh, or, hey! Mom, remember the summer I turned 18?" *looks at Will* "We cleaned otu this ENTIRE den of werewolves--"
Will: "Okay, now you're just playing with me."
Ashley: *stares* "Uh... you got the tour, right?"

She's a lot of fun and, whilst profoundly messed up, not nearly as much of a self-destructive mess as Buffy was.

And I'll stop justifying my fav fandom now *hug*

I have loved Robin Tunney ever since she did Empire Records and she shaved her head on screen. She was awesome and the role was too small.....damn Liv Tyler and her film debut.

Anyhoo, you are giving me more and more reasons to check out The Mentalist.

*glomps back!!!!!!!!!*

[sunny-serenity.livejournal.com]

Some old skool RT for ya...




And some newer stuff...

[woodchoc-magnum.livejournal.com]

Is it weird that I totally remember her from Empire Records and The Craft? She was my favourite character in Empire Records. Head shaven emoness FTW!

[mere-dil.livejournal.com]

omg.. am I the only one that is fearful from digging in the past of a fav. shoe/actors
'coz sometimes I think my whole opinion would change based on what I saw.. (though
sometimes I take the risk) but actors like simon and robin I know I'll never have to dig about them deeper..lol

** it's funny how we notice things for the first time when we watch reruns.. but don't tell me
u didn't see them holding hands in that scene.. COME ON!!!! it's the point of it all *giggles*

yeah dear THEY ARE HOLDING HANDS (just to make sure you're convinced hahaha)

[laurandbillever.livejournal.com]

*hugs* you LJ misses you back, you know? ^_^

moving to a new place sounds sooo good!! And when it is your own home is even better!! You have to describe your room and so on as soon as possible!! ^_^

And... wait a minute, is that Amanda from Sanctuary the same Amanda a friend of mine is crazy about? What is the full name of that actress? Because she definitely looks familiar...

those pics are... wow!!!

[luxuria-oceanus.livejournal.com]

O.O

See, this is where NOT being a guy is a good thing, or else I'd have a boner to worry about.

And OH MY GOSH, is that teddy bear pretty much BLINDFOLDED?!

Holy shit on a stick, the kink! THE KINK! And, ha ha! You're not the only one who thought she was pointing somewhere else ('cause who'd want to look at the trophy when... look, something shiny!)

O.O AND YOU MET KAVAN SMITH! *.* Cuteness does not begin to cover it. It simply DOES not. (And you do have a pretty smile, :-P! ANNIE! You're Annie, I'm Ani, we be Ani-ie! LOL)

Awwww, you is shyppy! I think they look like they are holding hands, so yay for ship!

And dude, I missed you too! *glomps*

She's gorgeous, I have such a huge girlcrush on her, it's at times like this when it hits me how they tone down her looks for the show, like how they dress her in clothes that don't showcase her figure (and what's with her never wearing skirts? She has great legs). Though I have this theory about the never wearing skirts, about how maybe she has a scar on one her legs because she was in the car when he mother died, and that why she won't show her legs. But it's only a theory.

On J/L, they're totally holding hands in that scene, I've watched it in slow motion and you can see how the're grabbing eachother's hands and the moment when they let go. The first time I saw it I was so thrilled, OMG a pairing who actually touched and held hands and played in the rain.

[muzzy-olorea.livejournal.com]

:D

*squishes you back*

You have no idea how happy I was to have this post waiting for me on my return from holiday!

I love Robin Tunney. She's the reason for me deciding to check out The Mentalist in the first place.

I think they definitely are holding hands. When I watched the scene I thought they were and flailed and I've seen other people say they are too. Whilst I love the fact they are I feel it's a little bit out of canon? I don't know, it's quite a personal thing holding someone's hand even for a moment of fun like that? Maybe I'm just over-analysing. :)

Thanks for the mention

Hi there this is theICEBear.

I wanted to thank you for pimping my fic Going Home Through a Starry Mirror :)

I am glad you liked it. I wrote it mostly after watching the first Cassandra episodes of Stargate SG-1 and deciding that I wanted to do something weird like spend a year of my life writing a Buffy/Stargate crossover.

Anyway, I wanted to say thanks and give you a virtual hug of thanks.
