Wherein I fangirl
Feb. 1st, 2007 03:55 pmOh Battlestar I am so your bitch. In a sense of being a shippery weathervane, and in loving everything you throw at me with the exception of quadrangle of doom and Fat!Lee and Gaius Jesus Baltar.
Why?
I bring you spoilery pics from some upcoming ep (3.17) and they are just so shiny.
Awwww, Kara. Looking very like in the mini. I love you.


Kara and Lee. You know, these pictures make me glee. Why? Because they look here like they did when they were BFFs with some UST, before the stupid love quadrangle and what not. It makes me think of the awesome of K/L of season 1 and even S2. Maybe they are back to that interaction? In which case, I will buy it gladly.


Ohhh, this is giving my such '33' flashbacks. *shivers* (You know, I really miss it when they knew how to write Lee and what to do with him. Hope springs eternal.)

Kara and some weird woman. Her Mom?

Kara and Leoben. WTF!!!!! *screams in delicious shock*


In other news, spent some time browsing manga in Borders. Yum. Did you know that the manga on which Devil Beside You is based has been licensed? They had volumes of it there (called Devils do Exist). I flipped through it and very cute. I can see why they picked Mike He as the lead because the manga hero is yummy. (Though once again, proving that manga hairstyles work only in manga).
I have also flipped through Tramps Like Us (the manga on which Kimi Wa Petto, which I so need to finish stat, is based). You know what is so weird? The casting people are scary as the drawings of Sumire and Momo look a lot like MatsuJun and Kyoko. Eeeek! Though the way the author draws the mouths (very lush) makes it look almost Korean-manhwa style.
Speaking of Korean manhwa, I flipped through the first volume of Goong (yeah, I read scanlations earlier but it's different seeing it in print). It's delightful (and I can see why they cast Joo Ji Hoon as manga!Shin=uber!hot) but I prefer the drama. It's more nuanced somehow, more complicated (like Mars drama v. Mars manga). This made me think about Snow Drop and the discussion
vierran45 and I had about the casting for this, if it ever got turned into drama. JJH would make a totally perfect lead in that one (though I might be biased because heeee, want to see him as a nude model). OK, this is really stream of consciousness.
I also flipped through the third volume of Absolute Boyfriend, which I of course love. Read it before and all, but so funny and off the wall and hot. I think it should totally be made into a twdrama (it has a twdrama cracky vibe) and Mike He should play Night (because hello! Inhumanly gorgeous android) and Joe Cheng should play Souji, the nerdy-yet-hot next door neighbor who is in love with the heroine. And Ariel Lin should play the lead. Because that way they both have psycho chemistry with her and Mike He could have another angsty ending and there will be Mike He/Ariel Lin make-out scenes and the whole thought of this is just filling me with glee. Not that it will ever happen, but whatever.
In other news, I've been rewatching Hanadan's ep 4 and eee! I love Yuki and Makino being all girly, dissecting what happened with Rui. And I love Soujiro being all hot and speaking about love and I am totally embarassed but giggling about Domyouji in the cafeteria scene and do you think the reason he feels so guilty about the man jumping off etc, isn't just because it's a guy he knew, but because it's his own actions (of some sort) caused the company calamity so he feels it's his fault the guy died etc etc. Because if that's the case (see flashback where his Mom blames him), a lot fell into place and I can see why he'd feel so guilty and push Makino away etc etc.
I have also watched a bit of Smiling Pasta (the very beginning, as I watched the first eps so long ago) and yup, still delightful. And finished ep 9 of Loveholic, and as predicted, there is more dooooom. KW and YJ have this amazing day out and go to the old school and reminesce and there is kissing and the way it cuts away, it's pretty clear they made love on the roof and they are all giddy about being together and so tender and she says she doesn;t mind the hardship. But the Prosecutor fiance finally finds out the truth about the murder and calls KW saying he wants to meet him. Why am I having the feeling KW will have to push YJ away again to protect her? Aaaaangst. I am dreading it a bit.
