This is an ongoing attempt to educate the public at large about the highs, the lows, the joy and the pain of a television series known as "The Invisible Man" - I am but here to serve.
Part 1: The Most Important Thing to Know about "The Invisible Man".
Part 2: A Completely Shallow Look at Darien Fawkes.
Part 3: Here A Hobbes, There a Hobbes....
Okay - so Post 4 was supposed to be "When Darien Met Bobby: TEH CUTE!!OMG!111!!!" except...OMG TEH CUTE!!11!!! - it is killing me. *You* try distilling them in just a few screencaps. It is freaking hard. I mean, they are so adorable and I want to show it ALL and that is like - 100 caps minimum. So Post 5 will be teh cute and post 6 will be "Sex and the Invisible Man" or "Darien and Bobby: OMG TEH LUV!!!11!!!" and I am just skipping ahead to "Flowers for Hobbes" because - well this is important. Also - I have had this post finished and ready to go for forever now and I am impatient.
So now, let's talk about "Flowers for Hobbes" cause - well - I can't tell you what happens at the end. I just can't. It is too good for me to tell you. In fact - it is too good for me to really show you. I can only show you a few caps and hope that you understand that not only does the end of this ep signify a turning point for Darien, Bobby, their partnership and their entire freaking worldview - this also signifies my head exploding for the second time in
tzikeh's living room. The first time it exploded was when Darien rapped in "The Other Invisible Man" while checking out his naked self in a mirror. Good fucking times.
Again - this episode just really changes everything. To me it does. Also - before I went to work this morning I was watching "The Other Invisible Man" and - yes - *everything* changes after FfH and to say more would be a spoiler and I can't do that. You must watch and then we discuss.
Okay - I don't want to spoil you, but - let's get serious for just a moment.

Okay, so I know what is coming and I Cannot Breathe.

Seriously. EEP!!! Also, OMG HE LOVES BOBBY SO MUCH!!!

Oh God. Dude. Bobby. Dude - this is gonna hurt. I wish I could tell y'all what is gonna happen.
I can't tell you what he is gonna do. I can only die.

Oh my God.
OH MY GOD!!!!!!
I SERIOUSLY WISH I COULD TELL YOU WHAT JUST HAPPENED!!! BUT I CAN'T CAUSE I CAN ONLY DIE!
DARIEN!!! See, he loves Bobby sooooo much he... OMIGOD! SOMEONE WRITE SOME COMFORT FIC STAT!

BOBBY!!! GAH!

This tension is killing us all. ::collapses::

So - you see why I am having trouble with my posts? THEY HAVE SLAIN ME WITH LOVE.

Date: 2004-12-02 04:48 pm (UTC)Ahem. My capslock got away from me there. This is cool you did this today because I was just thinking about these the other day and how even though I've never seen an episode of this show now I want to watch the whole thing, but all I have are your picture posts. So I went through all the picture posts again.

Date: 2004-12-02 05:01 pm (UTC)But dude - this is ep 1x16 and IT KILLS ME. I DIE. DARIEN DIES. BOBBY DIES. SOOOOO GOOOOOOOD. I'd just go ahead and AIM transfer this to you, but you kinda need to see the first part of the season so you have reference because - okay... this is like THE moment of the series. It gets good and gets better - but everything after this point can be traced to this point. Also - THE LOVE.
I could start uploading the SVCDs to Yousendit and you could get them that way - it will prob be faster than waiting on me to actually burn and mail them... just remember these are my first attempts at rips (I think they came out pretty nicely except for the 2 (at minimum) audio glitches per ep). You can handle SVCD format - right?

Linzee, vastly amused by your I-man posts. Make more. *g*

Date: 2004-12-02 06:19 pm (UTC)Okay - the scene last night with Lex and Clark and the antidote and what both were willing to do? Has NOTHING on what actually happened in Flowers for Hobbes. This shit only happens in fanfic. GOOD fanfic.

GOD.
That scene completes me.

Date: 2004-12-02 05:32 pm (UTC)Well. Okay. Except maybe when Jim looks up and Artie is alive and he says, "Thank you, Artie," and Artie has a small mock-fit and is silently reassuring Jim that yes it's really him and everything is fine and Jim can breathe again in that broccoli way and asks if that's all he gets and Jim says, "thank you, Artie," and Artie says, "My pleasure," and guh.
these guys. THESE GUYS. They will be the death of me and I will die so. happy.

Date: 2004-12-02 05:03 pm (UTC)Not to mention that this scene also has Darien's line:
"You're Superman. I'm the Invisible Man. Wow, we just get Wonder Woman, we could really party, you know what I'm saying?"
Which is a direct reference to this joke:

Well, well. Hello again, Darien's id!

no subject
Date: 2004-12-02 10:12 pm (UTC)However - season 1 is available on Region 2 and Season 2 (in middling quality avi) is on bittorrents - so it is possible to get the show.
email me at sisabet at yahoo and I'll try to put you on a list to send the links.

Date: 2004-12-03 07:14 am (UTC)I had a friend who I'd been arguing about the slash potential of I-Man with at the time, and she came in to class the Monday after this and just went "you win, dammit!" Heh.
I can't believe there isn't more fanfic for this show. Man.
Feel the love (fanfic style!)
Date: 2005-01-28 03:42 am (UTC)Have you checked out http://www.fanfiction.net/list.php?categoryid=393
?
Over 800 fanfics listed there, and there's also a bunch (especially slash fics) over at the WWOMB site too. http://www.squidge.org/~peja/cgi-bin/categories.php?catid=280&parentcatid=280
Also... pssst... I have a friend in the UK who dubbed Season 2 directly off of Sci-Fi UK, and sent a set to another friend of mine in CA who has VCD dubbing capabilities. *BEG* Suffice to say, a set of Season 2 on VCD can be obtained. "It can be done. We have the technology." BWA-HAHAHAHAAAAAA!!!
*snicker*
And I see the men in white coats rushing for me with my dose of CA. *pouts heavily*
Guess that means I'll have plenty of time to finish one of my fics in the hoosegow. ;-)
BTW - To plagarize the Comic Book Shop Guy - "Best LJ... EVER!"
