...Best Damn Tapper! *Most Smartest*

So, I don't watch Sanctuary regularly but back in September I posted about Amanda Tapping saying that in the second half of season three there was going to be an amazing female guest star on the show for several episodes who goes toe to toe with Magnus, and that in reading the scenes Tapping thought that there was some romantic or at least sexual tension between the characters that she thought would be wonderful to explore.

I've just seen the second-half of the two-parter and it was glorious.  I totally understand what Tapping was talking about now that I've seen Pax Romana.

It was so wonderful getting to see two intelligent, forceful, confident, mature women interacting with each other as equals, and it was even better seeing the genuine respect for each other that grew between them through their interactions throughout the episode.  As they grew to trust each other, and especially by the end of the episode, I could definitely see the romantic potential/sexual chemistry between Helen and Ranna that Tappings was talking about.

In conclusion, Hollywood needs to let mature actresses be on screen together in meaningful ways more often, and while I still don't love Sanctuary as a whole, I'll be watching all of the Ranna Seneschal episodes, that's for sure!

I will admit, I had my doubts about this movie with all the wank going on about the casting and whatnot, but after seeing this:



I want to go to there.

I CANNOT FUCKING WAIT FOR THIS MOVIE TO COME OUT!

That little boy is badass!  I mean, shiiiiiiiit!  I would love to offer something more insightful, but whenever I think about this trailer I just start squeeing and stand up and pretend I'm bending things in my room, because I want to live in this trailer.

In other news, I'm so happy to have this sexy beast on my television screen every week again!  Oh, Polly Walker, I didn't realize how much I'd missed you being awesome, and scheming and sexy until you came back to me.

I'm reading the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series now, and I'm really enjoying the books.  They're fun, fast reads, and I love Greek Mythology so it's a blast reading about all of the Gods/Goddesses, the Titans and all of the mythological creatures.  It just disturbs me that in the books the kids are like 12/13 years old, but in the movie they look like this!



Cause Annabeth Chase (above) is kickass in the books, and because I saw pictures of Alexandra Daddario before I started reading the books, I picture her in my mind as Annabeth ... and consequently I want Annabeth femslash.  However,  i r groced out because any fanfic out there now would be about the books and I don't want to be reading stories with kissing about 12 year olds.

Therefore, I need the movie to come out nao so that people will start writing movie fic, where the actors are delightfully legal (and characters who are around 16-17 years old), so that I can ship Annabeth/Clarisse and Annabeth/Thalia without grossing myself out.
