regenesis, heroes

Theory That Struck Me Today:

Caroline Morrison on "ReGenesis" is what Weir on SGA would be like if Weir was totally awesome.

Another Thing About Heroes::

Man, I know all the troublesome stuff about, you know, being totally evil and stuff, but nonetheless, I am in love with the relationship between Claire and her daddy. Because, seriously, I have a button a million miles wide. fox1013 and I were talking earlier about daddy issues; while much of fandom seems to have the "I've been a bad, bad little kid. Spank me!", we both have more of the "DADDY'S LITTLE GIRL WAAAAAAAAAH" thing going on.

There are lots of relationships that hit this button for me, but the classic is Jack and Sydney Bristow from Alias, which is my one true gen relationship FOREVER. Lilith and David on ReGenesis actually made me cry last night, in episode 1x08. Buffy and Giles, on the times when I'm not sexualizing them at all, can fulfill the same thing for me, despite the non-related-ness. Oh, and BSG: Kara and Adama are my favorite relationship on the show, even when I'm conflicted about everything else.

(Actually, a lot of the things that make me cry fit here. S2 Buffy and Giles, yep. Jack and Sydney, yep. My first year away at college, I came home and watched the freaking Land Before Time with my family and cried when Sarah the three-horn was reunited with her daddy. I don't even know!)

(And in comics! Babs and Jim Gordon! Roy and Lian! *sniffle*)

Caroline Morrison on "ReGenesis" is what Weir on SGA would be like if Weir was totally awesome. When I was in Germany this summer and we were taking apart the season opener, that's exactly how my friends pimped ReGenesis to me :-) We were bitching about Weir, and then they began raving about Caroline and made me watch both seasons... (yes, they really twisted my arm :-)

In other words, YES!!!!! totally!!!

I mean, the scene with miranda's mom...That's how I'd love to see Weir act...and they actually stand by their morally dubious decisions...and live with them! I love that show!!!

SERIOUSLY. Like, I enjoy her for herself, too, but I can't stop imagining what it'd be like if Weir got written that well -- because it's totally what she was designed like and never succeeded in.

Hee! I was just going to comment that this was exactly what you told me on the phone yesterday!

*g* it really seems to be the thing to realize...i commented last week in iamsab's lj after she said the same thing :D

b/c, seriously, she even looks like weir!!!

b/c pearl_o is so right: she's great on her own, but rading weir against is just...depressing!!!

Heh. Um, great minds think alike?

[cathexys.livejournal.com]

Oh, I am TOTALLY Daddy's little girl. It's why I ::heart:: Veronica and Keith SO MUCH OMG!

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Oh my GOD, Veronica-Keith is the other incredibly obvious one I totally blanked out about mentioning! SO MUCH LOVE. That is by far my favorite relationship on the show, and the scene where they find out he's really her dad? WAAAAAAAAH.

Buffy and Giles, on the times when I'm not sexualizing them at all, can fulfill the same thing for me, despite the non-related-ness.

::happy sniffle::

Oh, yes. My favorite paternal!Giles/Buffy scene has always been, will always be the scene where they're sitting in the car in Becoming II--I'm pretty sure that's the right ep--where, after Buffy tells him she slept with Angel, Giles says that he's always respected her, and always will.

I'm feeling the need for a tissue myself, now. And a need to rewatch those early seasons as well.

Innocence, I think. And yeah, that is totally one of the best B-G moments ever. I'm also so fond of her punching him and crying in Passion that she can't do it without him. *sigh*
