Epic Incestuous Romances FTW!

Jan 04, 2011 19:30

Okay I need to take a moment to squee about all the delicious new promo material for the upcoming dramas The Borgias and Camelot, especially regarding the pairings of Lucrezia/Cesare and Arthur/Morgan respectively.

First of all, though we still don't know to what extent their relationship will be romantic, from the clips and pictures and interviews ( Read more... )

arthur/morgana, cesare borgia, cesare/lucrezia, rl, merlin, arthurian legend, tv shows, history, the mists of avalon, d00med!shipper for life, spain, movies, morgana, picspam, camelot, the borgias

I'LL JUST SAY IT AGAIN. I AM SO FREAKING EXCITED FOR CAMELOT.

sherrilina January 5 2011, 00:51:45 UTC

:D AMEN SISTER-FRIEND....

It's especially awesome after the disappointing fail that was Arthur/Morgana's relationship (on any level) and Morgana's character on Merlin...hopefully the epicness of both in this new show will help ease that pain and irritation away!

cranmers January 5 2011, 01:10:38 UTC

Well don't get TOO excited about tv!
Haha jest - you know I do...

I am a bit weirded out by the Ar/Mor in this. Seriously, it's like all the fire of the Eva Green machine pitted against lil' blondie twelve year old over there. Feels a bit weird. At this rate, Mordred is going to be like, a dwarf!

And you can't tell they have chemistry!!! They might, I'll admit, I'll reserve judgement. But seriously, anyone can intensely stare at anyone!

So yeah, not overly promising IMO.

On the other hand, as I don't mean to be whiney // bring down the happiness in da post // disagree with you on everything :P but Lucrezia/Cesare I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO! They're literally electric in the trailer!

And yay for the pics!!! I think I saw that post. It had 'Game of Thrones' on it as well, w/e that is? Phenominally excited, of course.

But mwah haha, Cesare hot?!
Ehh...no. There are way hotter members of Hirst's casts.

sherrilina January 5 2011, 01:30:27 UTC

Lol, yeah Grindelwald Arthur there does look young, but IDK we see older men and younger women all the time, I say it's about time we have it reversed! ;)

And okay FINE, whatever, on the chemistry, BUT it does still sound overly promising JUST BY THAT QUOTE ALONE--because that quote shows that the authors DO think their relationship is important, and implies that it will receive a decent amount of focus, which is all I want...unlike, on say, Merlin, where after the beginning of season 1 it received pretty much no focus at all, and clearly wasn't important to the writers.

And lol I just found the pics with googling....

And well that's your opinion, I still think he's cute enough, especially with that stubble! :)

sherrilina January 5 2011, 20:16:20 UTC

Also on a random google search for promo pictures with the intent of seeing some of Gwen (since I just realized she's the same actress in MoA in my icon, but now all growned up), I have not seen ANY promotional pictures of Gwen so far, let alone with Arthur, whereas there are a few with Arthur and Morgan--which also indicates a decent Arthur/Morgana focus in the future...

cranmers January 6 2011, 18:52:51 UTC

Yeaaah?

You've lost me? What's Gwen got to do with 'Camelot'? I just googled her, last gig was 'Life is Wild' in 2007 and she has nothing on except Merlin now?

I wasn't disagreeing about the Ar/Mor focus I was just saying that I was somewhat uncomfortable shipping them with the actors cast. My opinion, of course! Just as Cesare not being hot...my opinion - thought I'd voice it!

Oh sorry lol. I thought they were from here. Same pics except with a bit of brightness and contrast! I see that now...

Lucrezia and Cesare! LUCREZIA AND CESARE. I AM SO ON THIS SHIP, I CAN'T EVEN... I MEAN, SERIOUSLY. THEY WANT US TO SHIP IT. LOOK AT THOSE PROMO PICS AND THE TRAILER. Resistance is utterly futile.

sherrilina January 5 2011, 01:40:51 UTC

LOL IKR?! I love it, I can't think of another TV show that has ever actually made incest canon/wanted the audience to ship it...:p It's amazing!

Heh on the other hand I'm sure the Merlin writers would describe all of these photos as exhibiting nothing more than normal brotherly affection, lol

ahmnomnom January 5 2011, 02:11:56 UTC

holy shit what the borgias? like from Renaissance, Italy? REALLY?!

SORRY THIS ONLY INTERESTS ME BECAUSE... LUCREZIA AND CESARE ARE PRETTY RAMPANTLY INCESTUAL IN A GAME I'M CURRENTLY PLAYING.

and cesare is a smelly douchebag.

sherrilina January 5 2011, 02:15:58 UTC

holy shit what the borgias? like from Renaissance, Italy? REALLY?!

O_o WUT U SAYING HERE?

And lol, is this game Assassin's Creed by any chance? :p

ahmnomnom January 5 2011, 02:45:57 UTC

i meant the renaissance in Italy. THE TIME PERIOD i'm sorry i didn't know how else to word it ;_;

yes. yes it is. HOW DID YOU KNOOOOOW~? cesare is still tooootally a dick

sherrilina January 5 2011, 06:40:38 UTC

Lol I know you meant the time period (though now I'm LOL-ing about the idea of a city in Italy called Renaissance), I meant I was confused about why you said that/what your tone was...:s

And lol, I knew because I'm ~psychic! ;) And already did a search on YT for Lucrezia/Cesare fanvids and came up with stuff from that game, lol

THAT FIRST AND THIRD BORGIA PICTURE!! When I saw the promo pics, I was pretty much sold on their relationship, even though I KNEW NOTHING ABOUT IT, ha ha!

I haven't heard much about Camelot, but I will be giving it a go, just from your Arthur/Morgana picture and gif above, ha ha! One of my favorite pairings ever, sigh... :DDD

sherrilina January 5 2011, 20:30:18 UTC

Lol, seriously, there hasn't been much out yet, even in the trailer, but still you can tell the chemistry already! :p Very convincing...my favorite picture is the second one though, actually...IDK, you can just see the tenderness and affection and closeness there...as I recall from the trailer, this is the scene where he basically promises to CUT any suitor of hers that acts ungallantly, lol....

And yeah, it does look like they will be focusing on the A/Mor relationship, which is nice....also if you've seen Mists of Avalon, apparently the girl who plays Young!Morgaine (in my icon) is the one playing Guinevere, which is cool!

thedoingofit January 18 2011, 20:08:01 UTC

this is the scene where he basically promises to CUT any suitor of hers that acts ungallantly, lol
FAVORITE. :DDD

And there's also Game of Thrones coming out too! I feel like we're getting a lot of good period-y stuff this spring, which is good since I was starting to miss (for example) The Tudors! :o)

*bounces* I'm so excited about EVERYTHING. :DDD

Also: have you seen any of the new Being Human (the American version, I mean)? Is it as terrible as it looks from the promo pics??

sherrilina January 18 2011, 21:15:49 UTC

Yes, Game of Thrones also looks interesting, though I don't even know when I'd have time for it, lol...(especially since it sounds like I'll have a lot of work this summer/will be very busy!). My cousin is apparently also very excited for it, I had no idea he was such a nerd, lol.

No, lol, the new BH has only just started like last night or something--it sure sounds terrible with the exception of the replacement Herrick, who is played by Mark Pelligrino and therefore is guarenteed to probably be more awesome than the Original!Herrick, lol.

Did you see Boardwalk Empire's big wins at the GGs?! :D You'll be happy to know I've seen the first 4 episodes, and have the rest of season 1 recorded on DVD from HBO over break with me. They were showing the first 3 episodes on the plane back home if you can believe it...
