Blaise all the time.

[hackthis_archive]

I didn't sleep. I'm very [insert adjective of choice here].

Is anyone else watching Rome? You guys see the slash, right? Titus/Lucius all the way, because Ray Stevenson is the man!

Is everyone else watching Prison Break? Can I just tell you upfront that I know the show has more holes than swiss cheese? I know it's not nearly as good as Oz, but Oz never made me this anxious. Okay, it did sometimes, but the unease I feel is going to give me a coronary. The fact that I've cast WM as Blaise has me entirely too invested, and as such any harm that befalls him makes me impossibly stressed.

Truthfully, a lot of it is extraordinarily boring, you know.

You've got company. I turned it off halfway through last night, but vowed that I'd watch a bit everyweek just to get my WM fix, 'cause damn.

I'm going to reread certain sections of Trade just for the new mental image. If I disappear for a long period of time, you'll know my fate. :)

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

I watch it, but I find myself cringing actively, and it's made me all twitchy. I know what you mean about Trade, but what struck me when I re-read it, was that I'd never really given Blaise a strong description, just tidbits here and there, so technically it all still works! :D

[mellafe.livejournal.com]

Dude, thanks to Potterdom I see slash EVERYWHERE!

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

LOL.

[thepouncer.livejournal.com]

I'm watching Rome. And yeah, gotta love the soldier slash. I've yet to be really engaged by the larger political drama, but when the plebians take the screen I really care. It's refreshing to see a show that's so determined to be non-Christian (because it has to be! No Christ in Caesar's time!).

Prison Break - I tried the premiere, but couldn't get into it. I was adding up all the shows I'll watch this season and I don't have time for another one anyway, so it's probably for the best.

My sentiments exactly with regards to Rome. I find the ruling classes dreadfully boring, except for Atia, but the soldiers are just -- they're two little boys, it's so amusing.

[musesfool.livejournal.com]

Yeah, the Titus/Lucius couldn't be more obvious and still remain subtext. I also like the Caesar/Mark Antony vibes, though the politics doesn't really interest me at all.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

The politics are terribly boring, but I quite like Ciaran Hinds as Caesar.

[musesfool.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I don't think I've ever seen him be bad in anything.

[silk-knickers.livejournal.com]

I agree that Prison Break has a few big plot holes, but I'm loving it anyway. I love that they set up all those plot threads to make it look like Michael's cell mate was going to be very important in the escape, and then casually threw away the three episodes worth of character development and backstory when said cellmate made the correct (for him) decision. I like plot-twists that I would never have seen coming.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

It's got it's good point and it's bad points. And then there's Michael...

[antheia.livejournal.com]

I haven't been watching Rome, but my best mate has. She's been having hysterics over it, in the same way she and I did when we saw King Arthur. Not surprising that there're slashy soldiers, is it?

Prison Break is amusing me immensely; nearly all the reviews I've seen say the same thing you have: plot holes so large, you could drive a truck through 'em, but the show is gripping (largely 'cos of WM) anyway. *shrug* I just know that I'm enjoying the hell out of it.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Prison Break is all about WM, the rest of it is totally irrelevant. What bias? Pfft.

[antheia.livejournal.com]

There's a rest? *ponders*

[cosmic.livejournal.com]

WM is possibly one of the prettiest beings in existence, ever, so, yeah, watching Prison Break. For him and for DP and for the hope of finding out why the brothers love one another so much. But I keep being *amused* by the show and I'm pretty sure that's wrong and I have screwed up values, but oh well.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

I think that if I didn't look at WM and think Blaise! that I wouldn find it as amusing as I should. I mean the holes are enormous, and some of the characters are just horrific, but my brain says Blaise! and I just flip out.

[quincykat.livejournal.com]

I'm watching Prison Break. Wentworth Miller is gorgeous, and he's perfect as Blaise.

Speaking of Blaise, I went and left a comment in that girl's journal. She has since locked the post.

[svilleficrecs.livejournal.com]

Yes, omg yes, and yes.

And HBO just might be ballsy enough to give us a little slash.... like, for real. considering how they've got one of their leads an unrepentant murder and rapist... but it fits for his time and culture. Why not a little guy/guy action.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

If HBO gives up the slash, I -- I. I have no idea how to finish that sentence, but suffice to say I will be very happy.

[prairiedaun.livejournal.com]

Roooooome!

I want to pimp rome_fic to you, if only to encourage you to write. Because that would be awesome.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

*dies*

Evol, evol woman!

*has a little looksee*

[doxxed-up.livejournal.com]

Argh, no, Prison Break is due here on october. But i like your comments though :D

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

:D

[redfirecracker.livejournal.com]

I wish I could watch Rome, but I foolishly opted for the Showtime package when I signed up for cable.

But Prison Break? Girl, I am SO THERE.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

I am all about the HBO. I did have Showtime briefly, but then I realised I never watched it and got read of it posthaste. As for Prison Break, he's so very pretty, no?

[redfirecracker.livejournal.com]

So, so, SO damnably pretty. And, HANDS!!! Gorgeous hands. I want to lick his fingers.

Uh, excuse me while I go drool somewhere in private. ;)

[zoniduck.livejournal.com]

::directs your attention::

Mmmmmmmm, Wentworth. (http://www.livejournal.com/users/lil1pinay/548134.html)

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhh.....

[zoniduck.livejournal.com]

Indeed.

[tir.livejournal.com]

Titus/Lucius all the way

Oh, yes. And I'm enjoying Prison Break so far, but they do seem to be doing their best to ramp up the anxiety.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

So, it's not just me that's feeling a bit anxious then? I mean I know there's too much investment, since I keep thinking "Blaise!", but it's good to know that I'm not the only one.

[tir.livejournal.com]

No, no, it's not just you. They're doing a pretty good job of ramping up the tension with some very nice little touches, like the huge watching faces on the video billboards in the square where the lawyer girl (Veronica?) and the woman with the info who just got killed (Leticia?) first met.

I completely missed the pilot and only caught the third (was it the third?) episode that was aired this week. My, my isn't Michael the prettiest little thing in prison? I'm quite sure when he figures out a way to get out of prison in five years, he'll publish a book detailing how exactly he didn't get sexually violated in the first few weeks of his prison stay by his friendly and welcoming prison mates.

Wentworth Miller as Blaise. That's certainly an interesting casting. My eyes are crummy because I never even noticed the man was part black. Oy, I feel stupid. Thank ye to those who compile biographies or I would never ever have known.
