'Color me blue, I'm lost in you, don't know why I'm still waiting...'

[Poll #1457732][Poll #1457732]

Last time I drew a comparison between Sanctuary’s John Druitt and our politician Peter Garrett. [Eerie, no?]

Now I bring your attention to Will Zimmerman. As soon as I saw him, I was all over the obvious Daniel Jackson comparison.



Apparently that’s why he ditched the glasses, lol.
But as Netty and I were doing our marathon, she turns to me and goes, ‘Hey, he looks like Harry Potter’ just as I was turning to her to say the same! [Great minds, etc. etc.] REALLY. Lookit.

 


 

I admit, there's little more than 'white male, brown hair, glasses' to this comparison. *shrugs* But still!











The  'Golden Trio'. Lol.










Mentor/student relationship.










Dumbledore and Harry ain't got nothing on Will and Helen's chemistry. :D

Shades of Dumbledore’s relationship with Harry.


After the death of his parents, Dumbledore left Harry with his relatives and kept him away from the world of magic, leaving him ignorant, if not exactly blissful. After his mother's death, Magnus also chose to keep him unaware of the fact that monsters- excuse me, Abnormals exist in our world, leaving him blissfully ignorant, suppressing all his traumatic memories.

Both Dumbledore and Magnus are expert at manipulating the people around them, even if they are benevolent, they're rather ruthless about the way they pull the strings. They've learned all too well how to provoke the reactions they want from those around them, what with being over a century old.




Although Dumbledore looks his age, while Helen is absolutely gorgeous. :D

And this, THIS!


Will: You’ve withheld things from me. You were there, weren’t you?

Helen: She was an extraordinarily brave woman. She died protecting you from that creature.

Will: You could have stopped it, done something.

Magnus: We tried, Will. I swear to you, we tried. It all happened so quickly we barely had time to rescue you

 





Firstly, note the same petulance in both Harry and Will- always blaming other people for the death of their loved ones. So irrational, tsk, tsk. Thankfully, it's just a temporary lapse in Will, while I've given up Harry as a lost cause, the self-centered prat.

Secondly- come on, the self-sacrificing mother, who dies to protect her son from evil monsters?

 



Harry and Will both get to see their mothers- unfortunately for Will, it's just a hallucination trying to lure him to his death, but Harry gets some closure with seeing his mother's spirit as she once again protects him from the Dak Lord. [Useless brat]

Their special destiny.

Of course Harry was always meant to grow into his heritage of 'Boy-Who-Lived', to be groomed to take down the Dark Lord. [Which meant
half-assing a plan, breaking all sorts of rules, getting into trouble, endangering others and waiting for the adults to come sacrifice themselves and rescue the Trio's butts, then whinging about how it wasn't his fault because nobody treated him like an adult. *headdeskfloorwall*]


Magnus: I’ve known this was your destiny since you first came to my attention.

Will: Yeah, since you knocked me down in an alley.


Magnus:
Since you were eight years old, actually...when you told the world a monster killed your mother.



And finally? Later on in the marathon, Will actually puts on a British accent! 
‘Isn’t rather odd sort of your stock in trade?'
That totally made us giggle even harder, it was like a special shout-out to us, lol.


 

You all need to appreciate how awesome Netty is. Seriously, best friend in RL, and the fact that she’s family is a bonus.

[Druitt appears onscreen, all menacing and mysterious-like]

Netty: Who’s that? The science tech guy?
Me: Uh…no. What do you think when they talk about prostitutes being killed?
Netty: *confuzzled*
Me: Historical context, dead hookers, come on…
Netty: Oh, oh, Marguerite and Roxton, with the two guys that were killing together… Jack the Ripper!

Lol. The woman drops TLW references into conversation. My love for her, it is infinite. :D

Vidspam.
Three minutes in, Will does a brief impression of Helen's British accent. But it's well worth watching the whole thing- if you're a fan, it'll remind you of some of the best moments of hilarity. If you're not, well, off with you, become addicted already! :P

*snickers* Dude. I don't like Harry Potter. I frakking hate his guts. But it's funny that people confuse that with hating the series- mother caught me watching the first movie and was all confuzzled, 'I thought you couldn't stand it?' For the record, I hate the CHARACTER. *stabs his whiny, useless self* But I love Snape. *coughs* As the last few entries probably show, it's not a secret I have a massive crush on him, lol. And Hermione's damn awesome. I wish it was the Hermione Granger series, instead of focusing on a useless, meagerly-talented, lobotomized prat without an ounce of sense to his credit. Oh, yes, playing QUIDDITCH and wining the HOUSE CUP is WAY more important than DEFEATING THE DARK LORD.

/rant. *guilty eyes* I get carried away...

there are more important things to discuss like Hotch's ties!

*squishes you* TOTALLY way important! I'm glad you have your priorities straight! Lol.

Mmm, the plain red one is really cool- I love that he coordinated it with Emily's top in the ep with the paint-sniffing, train-hopping UNSUB. And the stripy blue is so classy.

Not that it's all about the ties. Seeing him in his bullet-proof jacket, mmm. And omg, remember the rolled up sleeves and bared forearms in Minimal Loss. RAWRRR. >:P

I'll admit, it took me three seasons to finally notice the tie- but I think that's less because of the fangirling and more because I pay more attention to the women's wardrobe- they get the cool outfits, whereas the men have less variety and it's more boring. You know how they say women dress for other women, lol, we all judge each other all the time. *eyeroll*

*snickers* Dude. I don't like Harry Potter. I frakking hate his guts.

ROFL I meant the whole book series/movies as well! LOL

*mental note to be clearer next time*

Although I do appreciate the fact that JK Rowling is actually a talented writer, unlike someone who shall remain nameless who introduced the world to the worst fucking series ever! /end rant

*squishes you* TOTALLY way important! I'm glad you have your priorities straight!

He's toooootally my main priority!

I love that he coordinated it with Emily's top in the ep with the paint-sniffing, train-hopping UNSUB.

Just further proof that they're in love, IMO!

nd omg, remember the rolled up sleeves and bared forearms in Minimal Loss. RAWRRR. >:P

I remember. Quite well. *thud*

I actually don't pay much attention to any of their wardrobes, except maybe Garcia because often times she looks FIERCE. And then sometimes I'll have a little chuckle at Reid, the pathetic little baby. Mother unfortunately didn't teach him how to coordinate! lol
