dammit. squee.

I do not like to publicly squee.  It is embarrassing.

I {sigh} am squeeing over LoTS: "Sanctuary," the end, fireside conversation of Richard and Kahlan.  Mostly Kahlan talking.  I swear in the last few episodes before Sanctuary and including it, Richard has, compared to Kahlan, seemed nearly asexual.

LOL  -Pardon me!  It's just that...hmm...I don't know if Bridget is acting it more...um..."wanting"...than Craig is; if that's how it's being directed or written, or just something lacking in Craig's expressions...but either way, I'm beginning to think Richard a little bit of a eunuch!  It's a wee bit disappointing.

So my 'squee!' tonight, watching "Sanctuary" was mostly thanks to the Bridget/Kahlan half of the expression of sentiment/wanting.  Maybe Richard was just feeling distracted with his nose in the Book of Counted Shadows.  He had that furrowed brow thing going on; always a good indicator that he's distracted by some aspect of his mission.  But why does he always have to be, just when Kahlan decides to let loose a tiny hint of pining/longing???

Ah... nope, I just realized that it's a writers' game:  They're doing this to us.  Because whenever it's Richard who's feeling all express-y and luuuurve-y, Kahlan is Miss Nothing-But-The-Mission.  It's supremely aggravating.

Perhaps they're doing us a favor, because should Richard and Kahlan be um...sympatico, turned-ON...at the same actual time, place, and mood/setting, several viewer spontaneous combustion fatalities might happen at the same time.  Near misses keep us only halfway there; just shy of explosion.  <:o  :D   It is probably a kindness that they are doing us, trying to build up the threshold of our squee to explosion ratio a little bit at a time.

Anyway, I have 2 episodes left to watch for Season 1, and it was just finally good to see Kahlan outright own some of her...well, wanting.  I mean, we know she does...they've written it in (just) enough, and Bridget has done an awesome job of showing the simmering of the conflict of that, below the surface, to make sure we catch it, in Kahlan...but it's just a tremendous relief...it's NICE...to see Kahlan actually let loose a little, in this episode, and admit it, outright.

DRAT Richard/Craig for being so sexless in this scene!  ARG.  Okay, I know Craig can act it (the lust stuff), so it must have been directed/written as it was.  I swear, it was like Richard was all "sympathy/concerned"-face, with his "I know what you mean..."  It was like he was playing the part of a sympathetic girlfriend sitting at the campfire...  he practically did "woman"- face!   >x{

Here, Richard...you're not using that;
*borrows boy parts*
-lend them to Kahlan, would you???  lol
