I just watched Rome for the first time over the weekend on DVD. Now I'm watching week to week as the show airs. I can't even express my love for that show. I-I-- *shakes head*
And Friday Night Lights! I think now there are seven people watching this show now! Coach Taylor is my boyfriend. gaaaah. And Saracen, the quarterback, is love.
Ah god, Coach Taylor's hair alone gives me quivers! And my god, he is so friggin' cute with his wife and kid - such a dream hubby.
Riggens??? Ohmygod, someone needs to slash that boy with somebody, pleasssssseeee. Saracen, makes me wants to cuddle him and can make me want to cry nearly every show (lol love his buddy and his band!).
Rome - greatest show evah. James P (Antony) standing in the courtyard getting his oiled dirt scrapped off was the death moment for me. And the dialog! Every week, Atia comes up with the absolute best lines. And the sexy duo... ahhh, ummmm, *speechless*. Have you seen Pullo with Cleopatra yet? Talk about climbing a tree!
Okay, must go bug my sis AGAIN - oh and Kevin McKid and Ray Stevenson on the commentaries make the DVD worth the buy alone.
*double take* I didn't realize they did commentary! I've been working my way through the special features but have jumped ahead to Stevenson's commentary episode! Pullo ahhhh ♥♥♥ I don't know whether I can handle McKidd's commentary. His voice eats my brain.
Atia's lines are deadly. I sprayed my drink the first time watching her "I piss on Glabuis!" screech.
Somebody informed me halfway through the boxset that Pullo meets Cleopatra and my brain stopped working. lol. I just couldn't fathom it. And yet my wildest fears didn't come close to the absolute madness of that whole sequence. *cries laughing*
*moans* But I had to stop watching for a few hours after that scene.
Riggens has angst for Street coming out of his ears and someone on my flist was looking for porn with him as well. I'll keep you updated on that.
Oh yes, esp. in the beginning, major jonesing between Riggens and Street (when Riggens and Lila have sex, you so know it was both of them having sex with Street in their own heads)
My fav part of that epi too was while Pullo is standing there and performing his duty nobly (heehee), poor Vorenus is out at the fire LISTENING! and moaning, lol. Ha!
Hi - totally unrelated to this post. I just finished reading your "Swimming Upstream" fic and I wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed it.
I think you've done a really exceptional job with this - it's a very emotionally true description of the progression and maturation of a real, loving relationship. A relationship which is so much more than just romance and passion (which are fleeting) but also respect, companionship and understanding.
I love the dialogue between characters - none of the overly-blown emotional hyperbole that is so common in fanfic, but just real people saying real things - and most of the important stuff actually being "said" through actions and body language.
Oh thank you! That bunny was so strong that the chapters literally flew which is (sadly) too rare for me. And all prompted by Viggo's appearance at the Golden Globes last year!
So thank you again and glad to hear it's still being enjoyed!
