Cairo Time and Bajoran earrings

May 03, 2010 18:34

On one hand, I want to watch Cairo Time because of...let's face it, Alexander Siddig. On the other hand, I'm really worried that I would cringe at all the romantic elements in that movie. I would like to squash any and all Mary Sue tendencies before they start (might be too late already, though).

It's odd, I suppose--I seriously want to Mary Sue Garak, but not Andrew Robinson (who, in dissociate's words, is like a genial old man living down the street.) On the other hand, while I am not captivated by Julian in a romantic sense, I am clearly drawn to Siddig's other roles on screen—both from Cairo Time and Kingdom of Heaven. Perhaps it's the in-your-face exoticism in terms of the setting.

Speaking of Julian, though, I want to record a certain conversation which took place. You know, for posterity and all.

A: You know those Bajoran earrings?
B: Yeah?
A: Julian needs to get one. For his cock.
B: Oooh, what for?
A: So Garak can tug on it.

I do so love the simple elegance of fangirl logic.
