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

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

That Elder Wand thing shits me. I mean, the only way its power can be transferred is for the master to be killed- except Harry need only DISARM Draco to become the new Master, wtf? LAME AS. How utterly convenient. So we get the simpering, whimpering waste of oxygen but lose Snape, the true hero of the series?! In what world is that FAIR? DAMN YOU, JKR. He doesn't even get to bow out with dignity- now, I'm not saying I'd be happy seeing him dead, but at least if he got his moment in the spotlight, but noooo. I think JKR hates how popular he became and chose the most insulting, degrading way to ditch him. Ugh.

Back on topic, though. Another way Dumbledore's the biggest bastard ever? Not only does he force Snape to kill him, which I can barely, just barely understand if not forgive, but he doesn't leave any evidence behind to clear Snape's name, he doesn't enlist a Secret Keeper or nothing, no hidden messages or such that I'm aware of- he hangs him out to dry. Best case scenario, Snape survives the damn war, after giving up two decades of his life to suffer and endure torture and misery, and then ends up in Azkaban for 'murdering' Dumbledore. You can tell how much he cares about Snape, huh? Even bloody DRACO is more important to him than ensuring that Snape would be safe if he survived. God, that asshole.

Speaking of which. Harry is a dumbass. I'm sorry, hon, I know you like him, but he flings spell after spell at Snape, all of which are deflected, and he's all, 'Fight back, you coward!' Uh, brainless one, if he's fending off your pitiful attacks like nothing, don't you think he could've killed you at any point without your oh-so-kind granting of permission?



See how easily Snape stands there and nullifies his curses? He's the most powerful wizard around, he could've dispatched Harry with no more effort than swatting a fly and yet HARRY is the frakking savior of the world, ARGH.

ETA: I just came across another darker interpretation of what happened- in that Dumbledore wanted mastery of the wand to pass to Harry and he got Snape to kill him so that Harry would have no hesitation in killing Snape later on to obtain mastery. Dark, but possible. It would be just like him. And it would explain why he didn't bother leaving any evidence or pensieve accounts to support Snape, because he didn't expect him to live, as either Harry or Voldemort would've killed him.
