i heart my racist teevee boyfriend
Gale: Hey, mom! I'm gonna be on network TV.
Gale!Mom: That's nice, dear. Not as a naked gay man again, I hope?
Gale: Nah. Nazi!
Gale!Mom: :|
What I wouldn't give to have heard that original convo, heh. Happy Thanksgiving, Howard Family!
So, um, there are lots of caps (but only Gale ones) and I got way over analyze-y, but, dude. It's Gale's first TV appearance in a freakin' year and I totally wallowed. Plus there is the added benefit of being high on NyQuil, woot! No, seriously, who gave me their evol cold? I SNEEZE ON YOU.
• DANCING SCENE ALKDFJASLKJ. I've so missed the dancing.
Christina has dangerous hips, mmm. ♥ Oh, Izzie. You shoulda joined in. Dancing fixes everything, like Brian's cock. Though I really think you and George need to just agree to keep your pants on and go back to being BFF. On the other hand, I'm really enjoying all the traumatized faces and chipped teeth whenever you two try to get porny, heh.
• Meredith's voiceover: "...the lives we ruined or failed to save..." THAT IS SO FORESHADOWING OMG. And here I am, actually hoping the Nazi survives. I feel dirty.
• Long time no see, Bailey Family! Oh. That lunch date's gonna get broken. Aw, Tuck is adorable. The way he got all *mommy and daddy are fighting :((* at the loud noises. Hmn, methinks he's gonna be seeing more of the hospital day care program soon.
OMG GAAAALEEE!! THAT'S MY GAAAALEEE!! *bounces* And, hey, two years later and still he's pointing at guys' crotches. I like that he doesn't try with the machoness when Bailey asks if he's okay. He immediately says, "No." Though he does put the patient first, that's good. Asking to go first woulda just been awwwkward. Hmn, I wonder what he woulda done had the patient been black...
He does *ow pain* so good. Look at that grip on the chair. Makes the tendons in his arm arch. *slobbers* Also, you can totally tell he recently had a haircut. Pale white outline on his neck! Boy has definitely been getting some California sun. :D
Hi, arm and hand porn! You pretty. Man, how does he makes slumping on the floor look so hot. I blame that long curve of his side.
Holy moly. Okay, his partner being black took me by surprise. This is gonna be good aldfkja. No wonder Gale wanted this part, all this material to sink his teeth into. Apart from, y'know, the niceness of having a paycheck and visibility. Eh, details.
We need more in-pain!Gale, kthx. PLZ REVEL IN THE PRETTY IN THESE FOUR CAPS OMG.
"Hurts like a motherfucker!"
Spock!ear, omg.
He's so concerned about Mary. :(( I have to wonder if it's gonna be revealed that they're dating or something. ...nah, ha! Whatever it is, something's up there. I really want Mary to die so we'll get to see Shane's reaction. /heartless bitch
• Seth's character is charismatic and well-liked. He's so dead. Then about the interns, "They look scared." HEE.
GALE'S NAME. I so squeed! And really, if there's ever a time to get your name spelled right, it's primetime network TV, baby.
• I like Rose. Rose could do better than Derek. This whole situation is so Brian/Justin/Ethan. No, really! Brian = Meredith, Justin = Derek, Rose = Ethan. I'm tellin' ya, tis true. Derek wants forever and Meredith is scared of commitment and then Rose shows up, flirting and offering things Meredith isn't able to give him yet. 'Yet' being the operative word here. I really want M/D to work--for some unknown reason, since I really don't like Derek much. Dude, I just realized their initials spell MD. As in doctor aldfkas. *speshul* You can tell I don't often talk about them in shipper terms, heh.
Oh, my. That is one serious but still lickable forehead wrinkle. |:| <--Gale. He sweats so convincingly.
The shirt grip he has is making my heart hurt. *licks his forearm*
Was Shane new on the job? :| I mean, if he'd been making deliveries to Seattle Grace before, he'd know the doctors somewhat. At least enough not to just assume that a male doctor would automatically be a white one there. Though, hm, Callie knew Mary right away as she ran up to the truck. So maybe he's Mary's new partner. Bailey nor anyone else acts like they've dealt with him in the past.
• I'm so glad Gale didn't have to work with Isaiah. If I'd had to listen to him lecture Gale about prejudice, I woulda screamed.
OMGZ THE SWEET, SWEET PAIN OF IT ALL...
...until one frame later where we suddenly get *speshul* aldkja. Still, I want to smooth his hair back and tell him everything will be okay. GALEFACE. :(( *licks his snaggletooth*
Shane wants a white doctor. Such a good scene when they realize that. It completely gobsmacked Bailey. And I don't think it was "just" the prejudice issue; no doubt she deals with that quite often in a high-traffic hospital. But more that this was coming from a paramedic, from one of her own. There's that comradery between the medics, police, fire, etc. I mean, here was a paramedic Bailey was prepared to give her best to, and then she had to change her mindset that not only does this man not want special treatment, he doesn't even want her to touch him. Later the anger sets in, but her reaction in this scene was so perfect.
Meanwhile, in the not-racist ambulance... Okay, I know I should be broken-up about the BFF paramedics, but eh. Didn't do too much for me. Maybe if we'd known the guys beforehand. I was more worried about the actor who had to hang upside down during the entire filming. He musta had one pounding headache the whole time. :/
• Yes, I did have "Here Comes The Sun" stuck in my head the rest of the night, thank you v. much.
• Um. Hahn. You'd purposely get a sub-par plastic surgeon for your patient rather than work with Sloan's ego in the operating room. I don't even care if you were only bluffing - you said all that IN FRONT OF ANOTHER PATIENT. That was... just so not cool. :|
• Whoa. Ava's back. Yay! But Lexie finding out about her made me sad for some reason. I mean, Alex told her repeatedly they weren't dating. Also, is Ava divorcing the hubby? I keep wondering where her kid is when she pops up like this for booty calls. It's like she's reading Parenting 101 by Britney Spears.
• Izzie = the People Whisperer. I'm still kinda wondering why she's pursuing surgery so intently. Other than the whole 'compete with Christina and avoid my life issues' thing, I mean.
• Dude. Christina keeps getting traded like a Pokeman card. WHY NO LOVE HOSPITAL. :((
• George to Derek, "Why are you talking to me? We don't talk." His confused expression adlfskj. And then realizing it's because Derek misses Meredith. Oh, George. ♥ Also, I thought they were talking kinda well since they all went on that Man Holiday last season to the woods. There was bonding and stuff!
S: Look, I'm hurt. I'm really hurt here.
B: You just lay there and not try to die. Someone will be here soon to save the master race from extinction. :|
BAILEY FTW. ♥
Thought it was interesting that not even one of the other paramedics ever glances over, much less comes over to check on him. That's their colleague and all.
I couldn't figure out if this was Shane checking the monitoring leads because he doesn't trust who put them on, or if the prop just fell off aldfja. Come to think of it, I wonder WHO he did finally allow to put those on. A nurse, I assume. Then again, maybe Bailey just tossed the leads to him and had him do it himself.
That expression kills me. He just looks so... insecure. Racist, but insecure. :P
Hang on. Red, check. White, check. Um. The black monitor wire is suddenly gone. THE IRONY OMG.
But the important part here? He doesn't want Christina to touch him either. Kinda throws the 'just didn't want to insult the black doctor' theory out, kthx.
And see, I get where the confusion would come in about him. He's full of mixed signals. He's a racist, but is hella concerned about his black partner. He's a racist, but he's worried about a doctor's feelings. Supposedly. I think it was more about his own ass and what kind of care it would be getting. So, no. The "he's reformed!" thing isn't working for me.
If anything, he's closer to being a closet case racist. And that's scarier. At least with the in-your-face racists, you know where you stand with them. Shane? Not so sure. I'd like to know how he takes care of people out in the field. Maybe letting Mary work on those he won't? Seems kinda unlikely, though, since that'd be fairly obvious to her and she seemed just as worried about him. Or maybe the mentality that if he's taking care of them, then he's still superior and thus it's okay to touch? And once the situation is flipped in the hospital, all touching is off? Bleh. I dunno. Trying to think like a racist is making me feel ickier than this cold.
I love how Gale acts with his body. He spends 95% of this ep pressed up against one gurny or another, curled away from everyone around him. Also, his shoes are still huge. ♥ And Christina arrives! ♥ Of everyone, I'm most glad it's she and Bailey who get to interact with him. That Bailey didn't just give in and hand the case over to George.
*DON'T TOUCH MY BATHING SUIT AREA KTHX* Totally giving me cancer!arc flashbacks again. Also, look at those shiny nails! Sooomeooone got a pedi.
That single dot of sweat on his forehead is hypnotizing me...
"I thought she might take offense." YA THINK? What gets me is that he must think a white doctor wouldn't have thought it offensive. :| Also, bet it felt good to wash that off at the end of the day.
(Photobucket TOSsed the original cap - within minutes of being uploaded. Not that I blame 'em, but, wow, that was FAST WORK. I honestly wasn't even thinking about their TOS when it came to hate symbols, I was just uploading to drool over Galetummy. But still, now I'm the user who has tried to store porn and a swastika. I don't even want to know what kind of watch list I'm on around there.)
• Meredith realizing she would always be the bearer of bad news for Ray's -- wait, Stan's? whoever died, I forget names aldkja -- wife on the worst day of her life got me. :((
• Bailey, "So I don't kill his crazy white behind." HEE. Though poor George, getting roped into playing guard. "Did he just say 'no offense'? :|" Heh.
• Oh, man. Rose left her fiance because he didn't know what he wanted and she did. Oh, man, oh, man. Derek's gonna be drawn to her because of the lure of permanence, but we all know it's not gonna end well. RUN, ROSE, RUN.
HAIRY LEGS O' GALE. :X
Some neck and butt-chin appreciation. ♥ Check out that 5 o'clock shadow happenin' there. Yum. He needs to sit up again, though. The S5 hair is kinda reappearing when he's on his back.
No reason. I just like this one. :"> Y'know, considering, Christina was pretty well-behaved with him. S1!Christina woulda like, stabbed him with a scalpel or something.
Lip bite! Score!
I admit, his scared, "You have to treat me the same!" tugged at me. Then I wanted to knee him hard in the balls. Wonder if that's his credo out in the field. :|
Okay. More mixed signals. So he got the tat while he was drunk. He even starts to sound regretful. But he was hanging out with his friends and you can pretty much guarantee they were Nazi friends because, hey, they obviously thought it was a good idea, too. And when given the chance to show remorse, he doesn't. He says nothing. Yeah, could be said he knew Christina wouldn't believe him even if he had apologized. But I'm thinking the only regret he has is that he didn't get the tat smaller so it'd be easier to hide. That said, I do almost have to respect him for not immediately lying just to ensure he got the best care. Almost.
Okay, this isn't Gale, BUT OMG THAT BOOK FRUSTRATED ME. Tis a prop, far as I can tell. Okay, see, I tried looking it up at Amazon to check if there was any signifigance to what he was reading cos I'm weird like that, but no Shawn Hanley exists. Then looked closer at the book and there's not even a title on the spine. Sneaky, sneaky.
OMG. New hat to add to the Gale hat!spam, woot! Though the shower cap isn't a new one. STILL. NEW HAT! :D *licks his shoulder* Look how pale it is compared to his neck. >:D<
The lips are cracking me up. It's like he's in labor aldfja. THIS PIC COULD TOTALLY BE BRIAN GIVING BIRTH IN MPREG FIC OMG.
Or maybe not, judging from that look, heh.
See? All curled up away from the people. Gale McActorpants. ♥
Those contractions are getting worse adlfja.
Uh. Was this shot before the make-up artist got to him? Or is the light washing the tat out? *squints* I don't see it. I wonder how long he had to stay like that. And how long passers-by resisted tickling his bare tummy, hee.
• So, Shane's liver ruptured. Shouldn't he be, I dunno, in more agony and toxic and stuff? You usually die pretty quickly from that, don't you? I wonder if there'll be any health repurcussions from him refusing medical attention at the beginning.
THIS ONE TRAUMATIZES ME. :(( I immediately thought of Justin seeing him like this from the observation window and being a wreck. Yeah, I've been reading cancer fics. Why do you ask? :P
• "Don't bother me when I'm calling on Jesus." and "No one better ever call me Nazi again." Bailey FTW again. I admit I'd momentarily forgotten about her S1 Nazi nickname until that moment and it was like a mental slap how we used to joke about it. And now we were getting the other side of it and, see. This is why I love my show.
This scene made me bite my lip. Amazing how powerful that one visual is, if not actually subtle. Also, Gale is made of cherry Jell-O! Oh, how I wish we had pics of him getting a body mold done for this scene alfdja.
• "What? Are we on a date?" HAHN KICKS ASS.
• Meredith apologizing as she kneels on Stan (er, Ray?). :((
Nice touch that both he and Mary are in surgery at the same time. My guess? Mary dies. And, hey, she's an organ donor! So Seth gets her artery or whatever, heh. And then Bailey can talk to Shane about it and how race doesn't matter, but simply human caring for your fellow man or such. But mainly I just want Mary to die so Gale can do some more OMGTHEPAIN!! acting. :P
• I've never watched Buffy, so I don't have the attachment to Seth others will (beyond his Robot Chicken brilliance kthx), but, damn the last few seconds of the show were so cheezy, omg. The "what does he have that I don't have" banter was adorable, but you could see the burst coming a mile away and the over-the-top laughing he did made me cringe and roll my eyes at the same time.
In conclusion: GALE WAS SO GREAT OMG! *boogie dance* Also, this was not even close to being the best ep to draw in first time watchers and that makes me sadface, woe. Though now I know how the regular Deadwood watchers felt when we virgins came for Gale, watched, and then were all *DO NOT WANT!*.
MORE GALE NEXT WEEK! How amazingly awesome is it being able to say that?!
"Gale's gonna be on TV next week!"
Gale!Mom: That's nice, dear. Not as a naked gay man again, I hope?
Gale: Nah. Nazi!
