o, season 3! -- so near, and yet so far

[hth]

There are new promo pictures for season 3 at New Atlantis. The first one is eminently forgettable, but the second one has caused a great gladness in my heart and loins. Er. Well, it has, dammit!

Things I have to say about this picture:

1) Ronon's crazy Road Warrior Gloves of Doom: baffling or completely fucking hot? Let's go with both.

2) Elizabeth continues to look monumentally cooler in promotional pictures than she ever actually is on the show. Where are they keeping this character, and who's using her office? We need a Free Elizabeth Weir! campaign.

3) Rodney's kinda turning me on, here. I think because he looks like a freaking grown-up, which is the Rodney I prefer to the Spastic Dweeb Man-Child Rodney who occasionally shows up to poke me with sticks -- psychically, I mean. Well, that's how it feels! This guy can stay.

4) Sheppard should always, always, always wear jeans. I know, uniform, military, whatever. Like his hair *is* regulation? There should be special Congressional dispensation. Oh, come on, they're not fucking doing anything useful; they've got the time.

5) Teyla looks like she has Layers. I approve. I also think it's cool when they don't make the hot chick in the belly shirt stand right up front so we can't possibly miss her -- although I fear that has less to do with their profound feminist commitment to avoiding the objectification of Teyla's character, and more to do with the fact that, as far as I can tell, only chicks watch Atlantis. Nonetheless, I approve. Unless they're going to let her go back to wearing that strippy skirt from 1st season. In which case I want her back up front, for all the pictures. My feminism does not trump that.

Have you seen that photo shoot of Brad Pitt in a sparkly dress? That's what I think of when I think of Ronon in women's clothes.

(And wouldn't you know it, now I can't find a link to any of those pics to show you.)

I haven't seen it, but yes! Brad would be the same sort of guy, I think. In my head, at least, they share a vibe...a cross-dressing vibe.... Christ, the weirdest shit comes up in livejournal.

No, I totally agree. Something about not actually trying to fake it, because they know they can't. Like women who wear men's suits, not in a butch dyke passing kind of way, but in that weirdly feminine way. I find that less attractive than Brad Pitt in a frock, though.

Here's one: it was a Rolling Stone photoshoot (http://www.ankegroener.de/anke1/Bilder/brad_pitt_dress.jpg). Oh, and here's another one (http://max.msn.de/img/rubriken/abo/starwatch.jpg). I wish I could find bigger pictures. They were really nice. *sighs*

Not bigger, but there's a lot of them (http://skirts.provocateuse.com/show/brad_pitt).
