Dear Generation Kill,

You are the best thing fucking EVER. Hands down. Seriously. Nate. Ray. Pope. Garza. Walt. Brad. Doc. Rudy. You are the bomb shit. Unfortunately I am not allowed to watch you with other people anymore because I keep shrieking 'Fuckin' A!' and discussing Captain America's castration in glorious detail. Apparently this is disconcerting.

Dear Simon Clellan Jones,

I know some people aren't feeling the episodes you directed ('A Burning Dog' and 'Stay Frosty') but I say FUCK THAT NOISE. I thought 'Burning Dog' was my favorite episode thus far, but 'Stay Frosty' just blew that shit out of the water.

Oh my fucking god, Brad keeps Chef Boyardee as presents for his boys! And Ray eats like a slob! And Brad and Nate bond over real toilets, because Nate knows him that well! And Ray was about to fucking crush Alpha for shooting at Brad! And Brad wanted to be a pilot when he was little! Did you see the look on Nate's face when Brad was running around shirtless? I thought he was going to stroke out! And Nate telling Gunny to put it down! Why has nobody busted Captain America's grape yet? And the talking during the credits with the guys totally talking about how they love each other and fuck society's dictates! Oh MY FUCKING GOD! I will cry real tears when this series is over. This shit needs to go on forever. Um, the series, not the war. Mission Accomplished my ass.

Dear Generation Kill Freaks,

I know you've all read Evan's book, but I cannot recommend Nate's book (One Bullet Away) highly enough. I have GK on my writing table, waiting to be read, but I'm reading Nate's first off of silviakundera's advice that it would give me a better background of where everyone's coming from, and seriously? It's like I just got the key to a fucking cryptogram. I have learned in a whole new language. In the first 80 pages of Nate's book I've figured out more about GK than I ever would by reading GK alone. Also? I know the real Nate Fick is a conservative Republican, but I would totally hit that shit based on this book.

What am I supposed to do now that swimming is over? Oh noes! Where the fuck is the rowing? Why are they doing me like this? Wow. How hot is Guo JingJing?

I have this in my possession. Damn you!

Dude, Brad was like a little boy! It was the cutest thing! And you could see even Alexander was like, okay, this is kind of stupid, but I'm having fun. And I love how Ray was all 'what the fuck did you do to my man, Reporter?!' I can totally see the Ray/Brad, yes, I just prefer the Nate/Brad. Well, mostly I just prefer Nate. NATE FOR KING (in my bed)!

Also, um, my Michael/Ryan story rocks. I could be all modest, but fuck that. I did some tweaks today and by the time I was done I just kept thinking DAMN! I have to write them again.

Okay, this makes me incredibly happy, but still. TEASE. Wah.

I have Nate's book too. *twitches* And I just read the Sookie Stackhouse book where Eric loses his memory and cuddles a lot with Sookie after being discovered alone on the side of the road..with little on.

Guo Jing Jing is dubbed as the 'Princess of Diving' in China. She is smokin' with the right clothing. The pigtail while she is diving does not do her enough justice. The Chinese media continously hounds her about her personal life.

One day I'll have all of GK in my little hands, presently youtube is assisting, kind of.

Your icon is hypnotic. Wow.

[melodylemming.livejournal.com]

I've kind of been moping since the swimming ended. I keep trying to figure out whether there are other televised swim meets, but so far no luck. On the other hand, my family was probably going t kill me if I made them watch another night of swimming.

And Guo Jing Jing is super hot.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

HAHAHAHAHA! We are bereft without swimming!

I, too, read Bullet first and god did I love it. By the end, I cried because I couldn't let them all go - and this is only going to be worse when the series ends next week. I am going to be such a mess.

As for this episode: it was like sex. And omg we so needed the visual of Brad on his knees, half naked, looking up with that *grin* and I think Nate knows exactly what I'm talking about here.

Also? I know the real Nate Fick is a conservative Republican, but I would totally hit that shit based on this book.

Me too. And it's kind of fun how it's so easy to be read as secretly gay what with his love for the ancient warriors of Greece and his rooming with VJ and his adoration for Jim. The composite creature of Nate Fick that GK book and series and Bullet create is just pure and utter love.

I think Simon Jones is a Brad/Nate shipper. First he leaves them alone by the hummer after the nightly debrief, and then they bond over the latrine and then Brad gives the kids beefaroni so he can wander off to give Nate *his* surprise. And then there's the bit with the plane, where we only see Nate for two seconds, but he's just staring and Brad and in Brad's head he's totally flying around hummming 'He loves meeeeeeeeeee! He loves meeeeeeeeeee!'

I am totally cracked, aren't I?

Only in the best way :D

There is always Athletics...

The reason why they have swimming the first two weeks and then Athletics is to keep the fangirls happy with various kind of hotness.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

That makes a lot of sense. Hook them early. like heroin.

I agree "Stay Frosty" has completely claimed the favorite ep spot for me. And it's pretty much all due to Nate. He has been so fucking ON in these last two eps I can't stand it!

And holy shit, that exchange between Polk, Scribe and Chaffin (I think) during the credits was BRILLIANT. I will hate life when this show is over.

I think I'll purchase Nate's book now. Thanks for the info.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Nate was on FIYAH! I swear if I had a Nate Fick flag I would've tied it around my neck and flown like an airplane. Just like Brad.

[silviakundera.livejournal.com]

"Burning Dog" has been my favorite by far as well. It truly did a excellent job of capturing the feel of what you read about in both books. It felt true. People who dislike these last two are, well, okay. I don't even know what to say to them. Clearly, we speak a different cinematic language.

Nate and GK book are just so... so fucking sad, but, like, okay. this sounds crazy, yes, but they're both sad, uplifting, and beautiful in the way that Angel was to me. The whole, 'what matters is the struggle, the journey, the love & comeranderie, and it doesn't matter if you fail or succeed or if you can be redeemed for what you have done' thing. If everyone is broken, is anyone?

And oh, Nate. Nate, Nate, Nate. He loved them too much to kill them. Just, god. He had so many ideals and dreams, and it all melted away into 1 concrete thing. It's like he both found and lost himself in those few years in the service.

You wrote this entry a really long time ago, but I'm just getting into Generation Kill, so it's new to me! I have to say, after having watched the whole series now, that Stay Frosty is my favorite episode, and not just because we get Alexander half-naked and showing off his impressive wingspan. (Actually, when I saw that, I couldn't help thinking, 'My god, he must smell so bad.') I loved Brad and Ray trying to help Walt deal with shooting that civilian. Then there's Nate finally standing up to Casey Kasem. Of course, his last straw wasn't all the shit he was talking about Nate, but when he put Nate's men in danger. ♥ I really, really love this show, oh my god.
