You could instead succeed in making an icon from the above cap that manages to maintain the light/shadow balance without wrecking it? Seriously, I have been staring at the cap in full (http://img714.imageshack.us/img714/6143/vlcsnap2010032815h19m36.png) for ages. (I THOUGHT ABOUT THIS BUT DON'T CARE. IT NEEDS TO HAPPEN.)
OH, GOOD. I'd be lying if I said I didn't ship them from the moment SniperMan showed up. (In my head it works like this: Tim the Sniper has a Grecian mentorial crush on Raylan which may or may not have a Afgan war precursor; Raylan's views on sexuality were broadened in post-divorce Miami. NOT THAT I'VE GIVEN IT THOUGHT.)
That moment near the end of ep 2 where Raylan's all, you got a story for him? and SniperMan is all, yeah, if he moves, he dies, and Raylan gives him THIS LOOK, the third of its kind in the episode. I may have blushed. Maybe. (Wow, that's, uh...specific? lol.)
THE LOOKS. And I love Sniper Boy's not-at-all-subtle evasion of Raylan's question (re: whether he'd ever been unable to pull the trigger) at the end of the male-bonding-in-stakeout scenario. (I AM SO NOT WRITING THIS. Except, I am.)
Joke about booze? This I do not remember. Unlike Raylan's FACE when Gutterson (aka SniperMan) says the thing about ex-wives shacking up with new lovers. (I KNOW. I do fully intend to finish this but hey, when did that last happen? 2008!)
The perp offers them beers and he's all, sure, I'd go for that. (That's his name? Jeez.) Hahaha, the way he pauses outside the car, and SniperMan is already seated inside, apparently oblivious? LOVED THAT.
OH, THAT. That was adorable. Though I couldn't quite figure out if he was actually joking to begin with, or if Raylan gave him a Reprimanding Look* and he pretended he'd been joking. (Ha. Yes. Tim Gutterson. If it helps, I initially thought his name was Gunnerson which would've been worse.) Ahaha, YES. This show, man. I may have to rewatch those episodes AGAIN. /scary obsessed
*) This is because I cannot read Timothy Olyphant's face. 90% of the time I haven't the faintest clue what emotion he's trying to convey. Probably less to do with his acting skills than with my face-blindness.
This is almost like that time we fell in love with Raines. Oh boy. RAINES.
Hahaha, speaking of, I got SO EXCITED when Matt Craven turned out to be Olyphant's boss in the first episode and I thought he'd be a regular like in Raines and then he wasn't and I WAS SO GUTTED.
ME TOO SO MUCH THIS. & Yeah this show? Done by the same guy who did Raines. This is something you probably know already, but I only found out a few days ago because I am never on top of things.
I need to pay more attention to what people post, apparently? OH GOSH THAT IS SO GREAT.
Also! D'Onofrio and Erbe are leaving L&O:CI, which leaves JEFF GOLDBLUM and his new partner SAFFRON BURROWS. See, I am MASSIVELY gutted about losing Erbe, but, uh, Burrows? Yeah, I'm so there.
WAIT WHAT JEFF GOLDBLUM IS ON CRIMINAL INTENT? (This is what I get for only watching that when it happens to be on television when I happen to be at my rents'.)
I think this is less your face blindness and more the fact that his face only really does impassive/fucking angry rarr. On occasion he smiles and things get confusing!
See, this was my thought, but then: everyone loves him sfm so I assumed the problem lay with me. (Beginning to suspect that fandom only loves him because he's pretty? OH FANDOM. SO SHALLOW.) (Pot, kettle! I still don't know what was going on in that scene in Deadwood during which Olyphant was shirtless because: Olyphant was shirtless, YOUR PLOT IS INVALID.)
His walk is supremely ridiculous, I agree. While we're on the subject:
EW: What’s the secret to your walk?
Olyphant: I don’t think it’s the same walk as any previous walk. I think he moves differently than characters in the past. I could be wrong.
EW: So then what’s the secret to Raylan’s walk? I actually spent some time thinking about it, and you don’t move your arms when you walk.
Olyphant: I do on this show though.
EW: I don’t think you do.
Olyphant: Take a look at it. I think on this show, it’s a little bit looser.
EW: Well, I was thinking that maybe you keep your arms still because Raylan would never want his hand too far away from the gun in his hip holster… Or am I just thinking way too much?
Olyphant: I think you’re thinking too much… [Laughs] I have nothing more to say on this subject.
EW: Is it a sensitive subject?
Olyphant: No, it’s not. I think people talking about the way I walk sounds great. Me talking about the way I walk sounds moronic.
[EW: Watch the final scene in tonight's episode, and tell us if he moves his arms.]
I'm only interested in Seth Bullock to the extent that he's interesting to Sol Star. Whom I love, a lot. And who for some reason beyond my understanding is friends with that sanctimonious bastard and seems to like him a lot despite the fact that HE'S NEVER NICE TO SOL. Goddamn, it's like Robin Hood all over again.
Yeah, Seth is pretty egocentric, but he kind of knows it too? Idk, the character improved for me over the course of time. I LOVE SOL STARR. But I am also in love with Trixie, and Trixie/Sol was my ship. And others that you have not reached yet but are great.
TRIXIE. ♥ I like Trixie/Sol but I would have liked it more if it hadn't come on the tail of four episodes of Sol making Iaminlovewithyouface at Seth. (How interesting is the timing there, by the by: Sol's interest in Trixie isn't shown until SETH LEAVES.)
1x07. Or 1x08? Possibly 1x09 - I watched a load of them latelatelate last night. (Sol's face when he watches Seth leave = enough pining and love and worry to last a lifetime.)
Idk, idk! Roddy Woomble (oh, unfortunate name) is the (ex?) lead singer of a Scottish band named Idlewild (which is rubbish). I caught this, or something else - in any case, THIS GUY, being folksy and marvellous on the BBC one fine evening. THIS SONG. Your sadness tastes like whiskey / and my body breathes the same.
I advise you to skip anything Idlewild. No, really. It's like, the Scottish equivalent of American college rock. That is to say: pretty awful. lady_weatherby used to go on and on about them and the only good thing to have come out of that is: Roddy Woomble's solo stuff is PRETTY MARV.
(Have you heard Fyfe Dangerfield's solo album? I haven't yet, but I am pretty convinced I'll love it.)
(you spoke in quickly written verses / hidden in your Gaelic name MY HEART.)
Yeah, she had an abortion when she was a teen and then there was some business about the Pope. Not important. What is more important is: IT WAS THIS ASSHOLE.
