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've got to delete my old H/Hr fics. *sighs* I had a whole bunch of fics with them and also with Buffy x-overs that I gotta delete now 'coz I can't multi-ship anymore.

The epic novel!fic- it doesn't have summer in its title, perchance? I was reading this encyclopedia-length fic in which Harry and Hermione spend the summer together and end up going to Buckingham Palace, lol, before I got sidetracked and jumped ships.

I have these moments every now and then when he just bugs me with his emo whinyness.

*nodnod* That's precisely what turned me off him. It's always about his angst and him pouting that nobody trusts him when DUH, he hasn't given them any reason to trust him to behave like an adult. I mean, FFS, Dumbledore puts him in a body-bind under a cloak during the battle because he doesn't think Harry can fend for himself! He treats him like a child because the boy can't step up to the plate! And the first thing he does when he's freed is try to take Snape on, ensuring certain death and the fall of the wizarding world to Voldemort, had Snape in actual fact been a Death Eater. Dumbass.

I've always been pretty open about shipping. As long as it's not Sheyla. I admit it, that's the one ship I absolutely cannot stand at all. Other than that, other ships don't bug me. I have my ships, everybody else has theirs, we all having fun and it's cool.

Firstly, yay for the shipping!tolerance, life would be so much easier in fandom if people could just get along and accept each other. *eyeroll* Sheyla, though, I'm irrationally prejudiced against it, I can't bring myself to be fair after the war that raged between their camp and ours.

I mean still, you have a bit of that student/teacher thing going on, but not like some ships...

*snorts* Point taken! *hands up in surrender*
Also, he's fully an adult. Dude, he's 33! Totally doesn't look it!
There's none of this sophistry about being 'of age' and using the more of the time- they married young back in the period of Camelot, like, 15 or 16- or the Time Turner to age Hermione another year to make it more palatable, lol.

Omg, a comm?! *runs off to find it* I can't wait for the new season, in a few weeks, I think- hopefully it'll spark up a whole round of new fic.

Well, I don't think the Ladon/Henry thing was THAT obvious. They play totally different characters- scheming military dude, laid-back easy-going computer genius. *shrugs* Whatever happened to Ladon, anyhow? The Genii decided to become enemies again, as per the post-s3 writing crapitude, so either he flipped or was replaced. Hmph.

Are the webisodes worth tracking down? Were they that different from the final eps on the dvds? *iz curious*
