I have a few thoughts about this trailer, and I'm going to tell them to you! But I'm putting them under a spoiler cut because I know some

The villain is Titus Welliver.

After watching the trailer and everyone seeming fairly alright with each other (side from Titus there)...I know for a fact that it will all end in tears.

[cookielaura]

Ooh, thanks for the name. I thought I knew him from something big, but looking at his IMDB list I've hardly seen anything he's been in. Bit parts in episodes of Shark and Prison Break that I might have watched, and then War in one episode of Supernatural - which is probably what I recognise him from. But still, I thought I'd seen more of him than that.

Yes, I'm expecting some sort of epic upset to happen pretty soon. Stress! At least we might get some nice Peter-comforting-Neal moments!

Yep, that's Titus!! I love him (and love to love/hate his characters) so I'm very glad to see him turn up.

I laughed at your internal debate about counting napkins... that's fantastic. :D

[cookielaura]

He does look deliciously evil! what have you seen him in?

LOL...I don't want El to be left out!! ♥

(five million years later, I'm replying...)

LOST was when I first saw Titus. He was mysterious and evil in a delightful kind of way and I immediately liked him. He was in possibly only one episode of Supernatural, but he was memorable (for me) in that. He's got a presence that I just really like. I know he was in a decent number of episodes of Good Wife. He seems like an intelligent guy, he's very well-spoken about the characters he plays and he's got a good sense of humor about fandom-related stuff, which I appreciate. And he does an amazing Christopher Walken impersonation. :D

*sigh*
We just started with season 2 in Germany a few weeks ago. Yesterday I saw the first episode with Sarah. I'm so behind! And I am missing El as well, please tell me she will be back soon? Where is she?

Mozzie is awesome though and makes up for it.

But aw, poor Neal!

[cookielaura]

Mozzie makes up for everything :D

Ooh what did you think of Sara?

Yeah El doesn't have masses to do in the first half of season 2 as far as I can remember. She has some cool parts in Burke's Seven and Power Play but they're about episodes 10 and 14/15 I think. I think she's still in most episodes though!

And yeah, Neeeal ♥

[dieastra]

I know Willie Garson back from "Stargate", so it was nice when he turned up. He's always fun to watch

[cookielaura]

Yeah, the Sara/Sarah thing annoys me though you are of course off the hook seeing as you've just met her ;) And when people spell El as Elle. Nooooo it's El!! And Neal not Neil

[sinfulslasher]

TITUS!!! \o/ I love the guy, he's awesome, and his villians are always wonderfully understated and calm, which makes them even scarier. *g*

Looks like they're really going with the Sam/James was set up and is really, honestly, totally innocent (instead of what fandom seems to prefer, that there's more going on with the guy). Hmm, I'll wait and see how this plays out.

I love Peter side-eyeing Sam/James. It's totally like "Neal's mine now, back off!" *hearts* And while I'd prefer big ol' hugging between Neal and Peter, I do love the one we do get to see for one reason: NEAL'S FACE! LOOK AT HIS FACE!!! *smishes him*

BTW, of course Sam/James is at the Burkes for dinner. I mean, Neal wants his lovers to meet the in-laws. *shifty*

[sinfulslasher]

Since I don't believe in interventions, I went ahead and counted the napkins. *g* You're welcome. ;P

To illustrate, allow me to post a screencap showing everyone's wine glass (except Sam's) and El's napkin. El! :D \o/

As for the seating arrangement, Neal and Peter can exchange deep, meaningful looks of lurve while Neal and El can play footsie under the table. Gaby approves. *g*

I'm guessing El's in the kitchen getting a skillet to whack some sense into Sam with...

[sinfulslasher]

Oh, and not that I'm obsessed or anything (I'm just being...thorough...in my research...*cough*) but when I went to look at the part of the trailer that tells us who the baddie is (a Senator, no less!), I realized something...

Is that Peter's arm in a sling?!?!?! D: D: D:

`

[embroiderama]

Ooooh, arm in a sling! ♥ Also, Senator Pratt? LOL

[embroiderama]

I was so excited when I saw this yesterday. Titus Welliver! Such an awesome bad guy! \0/ It sucks that we still have more than two months to wait but hey, a lot of that is the holidays so it should go by quickly, right? :) I do think that Neal is going to end up with his heart broken by all of this, one way or another. And I so hope we see some wee!Neal in those flashbacks!

[cookielaura]

Yeah, I'm sure it will fly by! And January and February are always depressing months so it will be awesome to have WC to cheer us up!

They had better have cast the most adorable kid ever as wee!Neal or I will be unable to suspend my disbelief! :D
