squee, flail, breathe. repeat.
I am suffering from Doctor Who and Prison Break squee-flail-breathe-repeat syndrome, but I suspect I'm not about to stop torturing myself any time soon, because where's the fun in that?
This clip shows the last few minutes of Turn Left. I have watched it so many times I've lost count, and every single time I get goosebumps and that weird tight feeling in my throat. I have been waiting since #401 for The Doctor to realise she was coming back, and now he does and God, how much do I love Russell T Davies right about now? He breathed life into a show that I'd once adored and he made me love it again and I'm going to miss him very much when he moves on next year.
Two words. Bad Wolf. Oh, my God, when that music starts up? Eeeieieieieih. Rose Tyler is coming back and the Doctor finally knows it and I am dead. I sat and watched this episode and I almost had to keep pinching myself so I'd believe I was actually seeing Rose Tyler on my television screen again. And in four days' time, I'll be watching her again, only this time she'll be with the Doctor. On the same television screen. *hyperventilates*
And then there's the new Prison Break promo, which has me in its thrall by being so awesome *and* is annoying me greatly by being so short and choppy. I'm posting this here because a certain spoilerphobe friend of mine is too much of a wuss to have to wade through speculative comments on her own LJ. *snorts* I've also borrowed some screencaps made by the very talented Rainbow from Excommunicated.
Teaser promo on Daily Motion be here.
So, let's look at this promo, hmmm?
First we have the footage we've already seen of Michael (gray suit) at the party, turning around to watch Whistler as he walks across the room.
Then we have Mahone (black t-shirt, sunglasses, no bucket hat!) giving some yellow police tape some attitude as he pushes it aside.
Then we have two men standing talking under a pier (oooh, wrldpossiblity? This must be where they were filming at that famous pier, yes?) who look very much like Michael (shaved head, folded arms, freakishly long legs) and Mahone (bucket hat!). Could it be that Mahone didn't really sail off happily into the sunset with Whistler and Gretchen to help the Company? LOL.
Then we have some random Panamanian guards.
Next we have Linc!Smash!, for what would a Prison Break promo be without a little Linc!Smash!? *g* I have no idea whose stunt double he's punching, but they're wearing a white t-shirt. Hmmm. What was Whistler wearing last time we saw him?
Oh, now there's T-bag, looking very smart in a new hat and suit and goatee! Oh, and a big duffle bag. Filled with Lechero's money, perhaps?
Two guys (I know one is Michael, is the other Lincoln?) running past a deserted looking gas station.
OOPS! There's a HD screen cap of this one over at EXcommunicted and it's actually Sucre and Bellick! Heeeee!
Then there's Sucre, wearing what looks like old Fox River PI overalls and a cap and a beard. He's with Theresa (yes?) and holding a baby that HAD BETTER NOT BE HIS, TPTB. Okay? Just so we're clear. I know you play loose with the timeline at times, but no. Just NO. My spoilerphobe friend reminded me earlier today that Theresa had recently had a baby (it was one of the reasons Maricruz was broody) so that had so better be her baby. Because otherwise we're talking humidicrib here, people. *shakes pointy timeline stick at TPTB*
Next we have a long shot of two guys walking across the desert, neither of which are Michael. Is it Mahone and Whistler? Bellick and T-bag? I need some HD magic here, I think.
Quick shot of Whistler walking into an alleyway in his spiffy suit.
AND THEN.
THEN.
*flails*
And then Michael walks into a hotel room, looking as though he's terrified of what he's about to find, with Lincoln at his heels, looking as though he already knows what they're about to find. Michael's eyes go WIDER than I've ever seen them, then he does this tiny little stagger, as though he can't remember how to stay upright, then he opens his mouth and looks as though he can't remember how to breathe. And then, of course, the screen goes black and he whisper-chokes out her name.
Sara.
And I die, along with a lot of other people.
I don't know if this is actually the moment of him seeing her for the first time or simply clever (ie, very naughty and wicked) editing, but either way, I'm a big fan.
So, that's it. No LJ yet, so Sophia, no Gretchen, but that's okay. This is how teaser promos work, after all. They dole out information in tiny little pieces until we're all going crazy. Not that it's a long trip for some of us. *adjusts tin hat*
So! Speculate, flail, squee, lurk, pontificate. Help me pass the time until next Saturday and then until September 1st.
