dangermousieWhy didn't anyone inform me that Ringer co-starred Ioan Gruffudd as Buffy'sSarah Michelle Gellar's OTP?
This is full-blown 1990s heaven, you guys! I used to be so obsessed with Horatio Hornblower minis when I was in college - it was one of my earliest fandoms (ah, anyone remember the crumpeteers? Ahhh, Archie, my love! But I loved Horatio madly too, of course). I even wrote fic...
Between Buffy and HH, I am feeling a good 10+ yrs younger - I want to dig out my DVDs now...
Plus, the whole "she is impersonating her twin sister and is falling for her twin sister's husband, who is shocked to find his harpy of a wife be kind and cool and is falling for 'her' all over again" is so very kdrama.
Also, only thing is better than Buffy is two Buffies :)
Between this and Nick Weschler (Kyle on Roswell, my long-ago obsession show) being in Revenge, it's like nostalgia run!
Have a Bridget/Andrew MV:

(I am happy to go along with the show's desire that I ship Bridget/Andrew, on the conditions that there are no sexytimes until after he knows who she is.)

Date: 2011-10-21 02:47 am (UTC)The show is very schlocky but it knows it and it's very entertaining with it, so I don't mind. No idea if I'd like it half as much if it didn't star SMG and IG though.
The plot actually reminds me of this Bette Davis movie about one good and one evil twin, where the evil twin gets the man good twin loves but then evil twin dies, good twin impersonates, eventually HEA. Heh.
I don't mind sexytimes before but that would certainly be morally baaaaaad on her part (not on his, as he obviously has no idea). A funny thing is in my torts class they used a pretty much identical situation as an example of an old common law doctrine of 'rape by trick' (if a woman sleeps with a man thinking it's her husband but it's actually her husband's twin pretending to be him, it's 'rape by trick' as opposed to 'by force' and was prosecutable as such under common law. Random).

Sexytimes!' then.) before the reveal then I'd only be able to view it as EXTREMELY dubious consent at my most generous, and as Bridget is our protagonist and Bridget/Andrew the show's OTP, it would heavily impact my enjoyment of both.

Date: 2011-10-21 08:03 am (UTC)Ironically enough, the first show I started last month was Ringer. And I couldn't get into it! T__T instead I became addicted to "The Lying Game" (which I lost interest after about 5 episodes) and the incredible "Switched at Birth"! I really need to give Ringer a second shot!
