Miranda BBC  
This post, quite obviously, is dedicated to [livejournal.com profile] elsmoka and also to [livejournal.com profile] realproof.

[livejournal.com profile] elsmoka has been trying to get me to watch this show for over 4 months now. With posts and screencaps, she's been roping in her entire flist. In any case, I promised to watch it with her and finally, after several months, we checked out the first 3 episodes.




So do I like it? Yes and no. Well actually I love it, but only parts of it, or all of it? I'm not sure this makes sense to anyone.

It was this very odd viewing experience. It is really broad sense of humor and slapstick, which I usually don't like. But I laughed like a maniac anyways (ask[livejournal.com profile] elsmoka). It is so oddly charming. The characters are great. But it's still all a cliche.

It's so weird and so hard to explain.

I have this huge emberassmentsquick which stems from me being very clumsy and often being elsehwere with my mind. It's my ADS. But this makes stuff like this hard to watch for me.

But then there is the romance. That is what I love the most. I love the romance. Gary is the perfect man. Everyone who watches will agree. And it's just...mannerisms. You knwo who sometimes people move in a certain way and it touches you? He has that.

My favorite scene is when they are on the couch together and she turns on some music and it's the Black Eyed Peas "My Humps".


More evidence of the couch scene can be found here.


It's a flambé
They are precious.



What I think is sad, is that my anticipation of it, steming from various screencaps and stuff, made me believe they were actually a couple. Full time. I wish they are going to to that, because it would be nice to see a relationship like that work.



ETA: the dude who plays Gary is also on Merlin. If that can be an incentive to watch ;)

Really? Who does he play?
[identity profile] elli.livejournal.com on March 25th, 2011 11:31 am (UTC)
I keep forgetting the name. Fenred, cenred. something. He is the King who does Morgauses (sp?) bidding.

Oh. That guy :p
[identity profile] elli.livejournal.com on March 25th, 2011 12:08 pm (UTC)
Yes him.... he is way better in Miranda though. GARY!!!
[identity profile] elsmoka.livejournal.com on March 25th, 2011 11:56 am (UTC)
DUDE! I AM LIKE SO INSANELY GIGGLY ABOUT THE FACT THAT ALL YOUR LINKS GO TO MEEEEEEE. LOLOLOLOLOLOL.

OH GOD. The way you worked on the pics. They are so gorgeous with the colouring and the crispness.

I really do hope they get to be a couple someday!!! And I am really embarrassed by some moments. It's awkward to watch. And I am not a huge fan of slapstick either. It just is charming, indeed. :)

GARY!! FUCK YEAH!!!
[identity profile] elli.livejournal.com on March 25th, 2011 12:13 pm (UTC)
Of course they go to you!!! mwaah!!!! You enabler.

I'm gonna make the caps into icons I think. And I might still have the psd and could show you what I did.

I hope they get to be a coiple and still have Miranda be liek she is.. not change you know but them being respectful. That would be my dream. And exactly. It's awkward most of the time.

We will find our own Gary. YES/YES?

[identity profile] elsmoka.livejournal.com on March 25th, 2011 08:53 pm (UTC)
YES!!! LET'S FIND US A GARY!! :D

Yes, they could be an awkward yet cute couple. :D

Cool! It's always so neat to see what you do with photoshop. :D
[identity profile] elli.livejournal.com on March 28th, 2011 01:35 pm (UTC)
This means we actually have to go out!!!! ;)
Remind me to show you he psd later. Tomorrow.
[identity profile] elsmoka.livejournal.com on March 28th, 2011 01:42 pm (UTC)
Will do.

And yes! We need to go out. :D

btw, this was how far my Gary-craycray (http://realproof.livejournal.com/136054.html) went once

Miranda is my go to happy show.

And while it does have moments of second hand embarrassment, its general sense of happiness makes me smile more than anything else.

And yes, we all want Miranda/Gary to hook up and be happy .
[identity profile] elli.livejournal.com on March 25th, 2011 12:33 pm (UTC)
I keep rewatching scenes. I do not often do this. So it does count for a lot.

It's a shame we have to wait for the new season till 2012 :(

I hope they will move that ahead then and not have them play cat and mouse for too long.

:D
[identity profile] realproof.livejournal.com on March 25th, 2011 12:39 pm (UTC)
it's an instant pickmeup!
[identity profile] http://users.livejournal.com/_excentric_/ on March 25th, 2011 12:24 pm (UTC)
I checked and he played Centred in Merlin. I don't remember him at all though...
[identity profile] elli.livejournal.com on March 25th, 2011 12:34 pm (UTC)
I remember him. He was the witches lakey in the last season. He had very long hair.
[identity profile] http://users.livejournal.com/_excentric_/ on March 25th, 2011 01:58 pm (UTC)
ok now I remember
[identity profile] elli.livejournal.com on March 28th, 2011 01:33 pm (UTC)
:D
[identity profile] realproof.livejournal.com on March 25th, 2011 12:38 pm (UTC)
he was the dude Morgause used to get her army.
[identity profile] elli.livejournal.com on March 25th, 2011 12:44 pm (UTC)
Rofl...yes exactly.
[identity profile] book232.livejournal.com on March 25th, 2011 12:36 pm (UTC)
:D :D :D

And the guy who plays Gary is also on Doctor Who (in a very small part), so maybe that helps too.

SUCH FUN!
[identity profile] elli.livejournal.com on March 25th, 2011 12:45 pm (UTC)
Yes= What episode was he in? And which doctor?

It's what I call good comedy.
[identity profile] book232.livejournal.com on March 25th, 2011 12:52 pm (UTC)
Last ep of s3 (with Ten), he's the guy who helps Martha. And later we learn that they're together. :)

It IS good comedy, it's not just what you call good comedy.

I BELIEVE THE CHILDREN ARE OUR FUTURE!
[identity profile] elli.livejournal.com on March 25th, 2011 01:16 pm (UTC)
Ah ok..I haven't seen anything with ,artha at all and only3 eps with Ten in them.

:P

Mwaah!
[identity profile] realproof.livejournal.com on March 25th, 2011 12:46 pm (UTC)
I GOT A MENTION! HUZZAH!


the only thing of mine I suppose you could link would be my shitty gifs (http://realproof.livejournal.com/143066.html#cutid1) :D

also, she's so pretty in that last cap, I liked her makeup in that and the date :)

[identity profile] elli.livejournal.com on March 25th, 2011 01:21 pm (UTC)
Yes you did. And I added your gif post. Because I CAN!!! bwaah! And she has so much better style in season two!
[identity profile] icequeen3101.livejournal.com on March 25th, 2011 04:34 pm (UTC)
CERRI ONLY STARTED TO WATCH THIS BECAUSE OF MEEEEEEEE!!! *lol*

Miranda is soooo good :)
[identity profile] elli.livejournal.com on March 27th, 2011 06:01 pm (UTC)
Heeee lol.
And it is :D
[identity profile] mystisblom.livejournal.com on March 25th, 2011 07:58 pm (UTC)
I love Miranda and I can't wait for the next season to start. I really want my own Gary :)
[identity profile] elli.livejournal.com on March 28th, 2011 01:04 pm (UTC)
I think everyone wants their own Gary.
IT's a shame we have to wait till 2012.
[identity profile] mystisblom.livejournal.com on March 28th, 2011 04:10 pm (UTC)
*sigh*
I always forget that it was 2012 and not this summer.
Today my mother visited me to dye my hair and I showed her some parts of the pilot and now she is pissed that there isn't a German dubbed version *G*
Cris: Chuck - blind![identity profile] duskwillow.livejournal.com on March 26th, 2011 11:19 am (UTC)
I have this huge emberassmentsquick
Yes! So glad someone else is like this. There's so much secondhand embarrassment on this show, I was cringing so much I just couldn't make it past episode 3 even though I liked the characters. :/
[identity profile] elli.livejournal.com on March 28th, 2011 11:28 am (UTC)
Well, I swalled it and when it got to bad, I fastforwarded. I have a very fast triggerfinger ;)

But I can understand that a lot and am really glad I'm not the only one :D
tinny: sga_mckay so screwed[personal profile] tinny on March 28th, 2011 10:43 am (UTC)
I have a friend who looks very much like her, and because of that, I have not dared watch it yet. I'm afraid it would triple the embarassment squick. //(
[identity profile] elli.livejournal.com on March 28th, 2011 01:34 pm (UTC)
Well, that migt be the case :D
