defiance: aka, hey, there's a gale on my teevee!
I was stupid happy about a new sci-fi series to begin with. AND THEN GALE GOT ADDED TO THE CAST WHAT IS THIS AWESOMENESS.
Then I watched and uuugh. I'm so bored, you guys. I don't like anyone, save for Nolan and Amanda and Tommy. And sometimes Irisa, but only in her scenes with Nolan--they're best when dealing with their family bond. Though I do love Irisa's alien features. Orange hair FTW always. But, yeah. That town could get wiped out by razor rain and I wouldn't miss anyone. I really just wish this series was better. I think my problem is that I was expecting more Battlestar Galactica production value / mood. BUT! I stuck with the show and, woot, glad I did. Cos, hey, 1.08 was the best ep to date. And not just because of Gale, heh. It was just a really solid hour of storytelling, and for the first time, I want to see what happens next. So I'm gonna be optimistically hopeful for the rest of the season. *nod nod*
Hmn, I was just skimming the Defiance wiki and basically frowning the entire time cos, dude, most of that seems like brand new info to me. I musta fallen asleep when all this background info was discussed on the show. Or some of this is coming from other sources like the tied-in video game, official website, etc.
ANYWAY. Onto the Gale!
Defiance, 1.06
Well, hello, beautifulness. The Raised Eyebrow of Greetings is killing me. As is the smile. Which is prolly why I didn't notice the interesting hair hiccup his head is sporting at first. And I don't know why, but there's something charming about the giant horizonal hat line mid-forehead. ♥
And then he turns and OMG WHAT DID THEY DO TO YOU, GALE. I'll tell you! They shaved the back of his head and left the front long and then tucked it under his hat for spectacular hat hair, wuut. *deep breath* Okay, I'm just gonna need a moment to stare at those loooong fingers and find my inner peace.
TAT. :D I'm so tickled the director/producers didn't have him cover it. (Julie Benz really does have the best hair.)
Let's just take a moment to appreciate how delicious this 3-piece suit is on him, shiny sleeves and all. The plum tie = perfection. (It's so weird that after all these years, him in any tone of red still makes me think of Brian.)
DIMPLES. :D But just when I got all gooey at the dimples and almost forgot about the hair...
...he turned and OMG MID-HEAD PART LINE. HAIR FASHION IN THE FUTURE IS APPARENTLY V. V. TRAUMATIC TO ME OKAY. It's just. It makes him look like he's had brain surgery and I dun't like eet. >:(
And another look at the long-in-front, shaved-in-back hair part. Just cos I'm mean and I want y'all to suffer with me. Making it more painful: the front looks all combed forward in this cap.
I spent this whole scene watching his fingers cos a) they're pretty and b) watching to see if he favored the hurt one. He never did. So either he was on some pretty hefty painkillers to maneuver his hat-putting-on, or he's a trooper and worked through the pain, or it's more healed than not and the wrap he had at the con is more supportive. Also, just for a sec, thought of Justin and the cat statue Deb gave him when I saw the good luck kitty on the shelf there, heh.
Frowny face is so Brian, heh. I really wanna feel that vest. And what's under it.
I just. I. OMG. It can't get better than this cap.
OMG IT GOT BETTER. HE ADDED THE SMILE. Surely that's the limit!
BUT NO. HE ADDED THE PATENTED GALE LIPLICK ALDFKASLKJ GAAAAAAAAAAAAAALE.
In the future, hair parts are L-shaped, they comb cowlicks into circles and the rest of your hair forward. It hurts my soul.
He is so precious. ♥
The chin. THE CHIN. And all the beard scruff. Mmmmmm. Also, the hair doesn't look so bad here. :D Just don't turn around, Gale.
Just made me lol.
Anatomy of a Wee Gale Smile: Before and After. ♥
Gale makes putting on a hat sexy, rrowrr.
The stance + boots = hell, yessss, take me into custody, sir.
That jawline is doing happy things to me. Also, cleanest looking hat in the middle of nowhere ever, heh.
Don't make him mad. You don't want to see him when he's mad.
What did I just SAY? Also, guh, I love cheek cupping/caressing in my fandoms. That and neck touching/squeezing. Hi, Ree's kink. :D
ONE MORE ABOUT HIS HAIR AND THEN I'M DONE OKAY. Do you do you see how they cut his neck hairline? DO YOU SEE. That little downward wing afdlksa wut. I never did get a good look at the other side to see if it was uniform, but I do notice the other guys don't have that. Unless it's just where his coat collar made his hairline ride up. Yeah, I dunno. I do know it's adorkable, tho. ♥
That look akldjfas. ♥ I honestly didn't think he'd make it in one piece to the next ep. That other dude there is about to get the ingredients to make a bomb to escape. Considering where he's sitting, I figured Gale was either a) a goner and MIGHT get a mention later how he was in bits across the landscape or b) would get caught in the blast and show up later in white bandages and a shaved head to show the damage.
Then 1.08 aired.
Gale survived.
YEAH!
So did the hair.
Dammit.
In conclusion: Gale's first reaction upon reading the script: I GET TO WEAR A HAT IN EVERY SCENE OMFG. :D :D :D Also, am sad Julie Benz is married. Gale needs a new girlfriend. ;)
