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
---
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

Date: 2009-09-15 08:44 am (UTC)I voted for the "I don't-give-a-damn-about-his-ties-he's-hot" one, but that's not entirely true. If if were up to me, I'd probably say that stripy blue, plain red and blue spotty are my favourites, going on the pictures exhibited above. However, I will also say that it is very rare that I actually notice what tie he's wearing (although I usually always notice if he's wearing a navy blue suit/blue shirt combination, because the man looks FINE in blue), because I'm usually *ahem* fangirling. So therein lies the problem.
Re your personal stuff... I'm not sure exactly what happened with Marina (coming in late to the party here), but if it's what I'm thinking it is (best friends breaking up?), then I've been through the same thing in my life, with my friend Jessica, who was my absolute best friend through high school. We had soooo much in common, we liked the same music, same TV shows, same movies, had the same group of friends, everything and then one day she made a new friend and that was kind of the end for us. And it was pretty painful (there was a whole text messaging war between me and the new friend but that's not important), and it took me a looooong time to get over it, but surprisingly enough we reconnected through the wonder of Facebook and our friendship is (dare I say it?) back on track. And it was a baaad break-up (technically, they are break-ups, aren't they?). So I feel your pain and have a *huggle*. :)
Re your dad... hooooly shit. How the hell do you live in that household? Are you counting the days until you leave or...? That is awful. Have another *huggles*, okay? *huggles*

Date: 2009-09-16 01:33 am (UTC)/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*

Date: 2009-09-16 11:56 am (UTC)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

Date: 2009-09-16 01:34 am (UTC)Though a shrink would probably say I'm using her as an emotional crutch. Maybe I am. Maybe I'm clinging to that as my great tragedy in life so I can handicap myself and absolve myself of the need to deal with things or get over it. *shrugs* Self-sabotage was always my forte.
My father. *sighs* I don't know. He's not a deadbeat dad, he's totally dedicated to making sure our lives are comfortable and we have what we need, I think 'coz he grew up poor, that's kind of a fixation for him and he needs to be all controlling so that things are perfect and he doesn't have to worry about ending up on the streets or anything. I get that he stresses because of that. But- seriously, yesterday, I get home after posting this and after the regular inane chitchat ['how was your day?'/'all right'/'good'/'yeah'], the first real conversation we have is when he tells me off for- NOT TYING THE PLASTIC BAGS TIGHT ENOUGH. *headdesk* I don't know. There's just no pleasing him, it's so damn frustrating!
But thankies for teh huggles, they help! *squishes* And seriously, thanks for caring and listening to me. It helps writing this stuff out, and it's doubly helpful with your comments.
Re: your friend. Ouch. I haven't been in quite that position- like I said, Marina was a maternal figure, not a traditional 'friend' as such- but I know that it hurts to lose regular friends, so I can't imagine what it was like to lose a best friend of so many years. Having someone that matched your interests and goals in so many areas and then for that to be over...[yikes, text war? Way to add salt to the wound, grr, life] I am glad that you did reconnect with her and fix your friendship, because it sounds like she's well worth having in your life. Good luck with maintaining that friendship- I'm not going to google because I'll spend all day on it otherwise, but there's a quote about how friendship isn't supposed to be easy, but the rewards are worth the effort put into strengthening and keeping them going.

Date: 2009-09-16 12:05 pm (UTC)Re your dad - YEEEEEESH. Can't tell you how glad I am that my father is semi normal (but very critical of my driving skills). How long until you can move out? Maybe you'll find that you and your father will get along better once you're out on your own, or something like that... I'm a bad advice giver, apologies for that!
And seriously, thanks for caring and listening to me. It helps writing this stuff out, and it's doubly helpful with your comments.
Anytime, that's why we're all here. *squishes you back*
Re my friend... yes, it was a very rough time, and one of the one or two major times in my life where I've actually felt really depressed. And the main sticking point with the whole end of the friendship was that it was so suddenly - it wasn't building over time. On the Saturday we were friends, on the Sunday it was over. And it was very, very, very painful.
And yes, my first and only text war... *sigh* It was pretty... um... callous actually, her friend was sending me texts all day pretending to be my friend, and then when I admitted how much I disliked my friend's friend (are you following? ROFL), that's when she revealed who it was... It was quite possibly the most horrifying moment of my life, but at the same time I couldn't understand why my friend had been sucked in by someone so horrible.
And I guess, I don't know, karma's a bitch, because my friend had the most horrible couple of years while we weren't friends... And I didn't so, thanks karma! LOL Or maybe I shouldn't say that because we're friends again?
