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

I love Hotch's polka-dot red tie! Also, i suspect those aren't actually polka dots on the tie, but some other pattern. Besides it looks much better than his other ties.

And Will totally looks like Harry! See now i wish Robbin Dunne would play Harry and maybe the movies would be actually good for a change.

*flails* Icon!love! ^_^

So, you love the tie? :D But then, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, as is good taste. *shrugs*

Um, I'm not the most fashion-savvy person around- I just called 'em polka dots but I admit, I didn't look close enough to see if there was another pattern. The Tie of Doom just doesn't invite closer study, not from my horrified eyes anyway, lol.

Firstly, thank you for agreeing with me! The resemblance isn't earth-shatteringly strong, but if you squint in the right light...

Secondly, seriously, check out the Druitt/Garret comparison. It freaks me out. (http://borg-princess.livejournal.com/69272.html) Particularly where they're both smiling- I had to double, triple, quadruple check and make sure I didn't accidentally post the same dude twice.

Lastly, hot damn, someone that thinks the movies aren't the greatest thing since sliced bread! *happydances* They're so overrated, it kills me! *stabs self in an effort to escape the horror*

Okay, so, upon further inspection they are polka dots and they look awful in moving shots. Although dark red is definitely his colour. Can't we have Foyet slash that tie up so he could get a better one?
