Joe Flanigan - father of the motherfucking year.

[mrsronweasley]

So, okay. Because I - clearly - have no shame at all, I decided that instead of doing a bazillion things I have to do before Sam got here, I would, instead, wait for him while watching yet another UNAIRED PILOT starring Joe "It's a Damn Good Thing I'm This Pretty" Flanigan called "Gramercy Park 111". Let me tell you about it, while I hide behind my hand, shamefaced.

It's about a big rich house in New York City and all its inhabitants. It's got quite the cast of people you've seen ALL OVER THE PLACE (including Urkel, guys - that's right), and it's filled with your usual trite caricature-like characters.

Enter Jack. Jack is married to (fuck I forget her name) and they're both lawyers. He is desperately in love with their newborn baby son, forgetting all about his work in favor of acting like a father, while his wife, who never actually wanted a kid in the first place, really wants to get back to work. She couldn't give two craps about their baby, basically.

There is another family with a baby, and both have just hired new nannies - Maddie (hired by JF and wife) and Bryn (one of the "Sweet Valley High" twins and YOU THINK I'M KIDDING). Maddie is nice. The other one has Evil on her mind. In any case, so, we see all these people playing with babies, right?

And only one person in the entire cast seems to know how to actually handle a baby. Guess who.

You guessed it. Here's the evidence:

(The quality was shit, so the caps kind of suck. I apologize.)

This is Evil Nanny picking up baby, so his head lolls back:



This is Uncaring Wife and Mother finally voluntarily picking up her child. Same problem.



Here, she struggles to hold him right:



Enter the Flan:



He's happy to see his wife attempting being a mother:



Less than thrilled, she quickly hands the baby over to him. Observe the technique:

Step 1: HOLD THEIR NECK:



Step 2: Grab the bottom/legs at the same time:



Step 3: Awwww. Feel free to love them along the way. (Whose ovaries just exploded? Fess up, people.)



Step 4: Hold them snuggly and comfortably. The bottom patting is optional, but is so cute, you may want to give it a try. (He seriously stood there for a whole minute, just smiling a bit and patting the baby's bottom very gently. I nearly died.)



Yep. Only one who actually knew what to do with a baby. Gotta love it.

And he's pretty, too!



Especially when he broods...



In conclusion? Oh, Joe Flanigan. It is SUCH a good thing you're pretty. And, apparently, totally domesticated. Seriously, when he kissed the baby, I just about died. It's pathetic. What is WRONG with me?


Send help. NOWPLZ.

AHHAHA. ::pets C:: Poor innocent girl. You haven't seen this guy scowl yet. Nor have you seen him bash a car with a baseball bat. Or be menacing on a boat. Or... yeah, I'm a little gone over him, too. Don't judge. It's not our fault. ::sniff::

[mrsronweasley.livejournal.com]

YES OMG YES. All of that. I just. *pants*

[http://users.livejournal.com/_divya_/]

Dude, right? The babies do nothing for me, but the other stuff? YEAH.

[mrsronweasley.livejournal.com]

YEAH. The boat and the fighting with the crow bar! And and and...the BAT. GOD.

What is wrong with me?

[http://users.livejournal.com/_divya_/]

::rubs temples:: Whatever is wrong with you? MEEEEE TOOOOO. (Bat omg. Crowbar omg.)

C, SEND HELP. No, don't.

[mrsronweasley.livejournal.com]

We've got it baaaaaaaaaaaaaad. (OMG I KNOW. Just. How can he looks so hot in a fucking PAISLEY SHIRT. HOW.)

[http://users.livejournal.com/_divya_/]

'tis a mystery. A VERY HOT AND WRONG MYSTERY.

Hee. C hates us now, but she'll forgive us. I foresee a lot of fingers-in-ears, la la la, and then maybe we'll make her watch CSI: Miami. And then, she'll go, "... maybe. Hmpf." Best case scenario.

[mrsronweasley.livejournal.com]

Ohhhhh, I like that scenario. 'Cause. Fuck. That is one hot episode. Well...HE'S really hot in it. In that...stupid paisley shirt. God, his eyes. Mmm.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_divya_/]

Stupid shirt, stupid accent, stupid diction, stupid CSI SHOW, and yet? RAWR.

(Seriously, the way he talks? I'm getting used to it. Like, it took me about thirty five seconds to get used to the way CKR talks as RayK, and if I'm away from the canon for a while, there's a period of readjustment. But man, Sheppard's whole talking thing is a hurtle for me. I've been watching SGA on and off for over a year, and I'm just now starting to really adore his cadences, but everything else? O.O Flanigan's from MARS, I'm SURE of it.)

[mrsronweasley.livejournal.com]

Oh man, his accent cracks my SHIT UP. Oh my God, where is even FROM? 'Cause. Just. The way he says things like "family"? Oh man, I can't stop laughing. And yet, I also find it endearing, God help me. *sigh* Mars is a good fucking call.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_divya_/]

In which ep does he say "family"? Gotta listen to that. The one that got me recently was "Caldwell", where he doesn't say the first L at all, so it sounds like "Codwell". EEEE. And when he said the thing to Elizabeth about fighting scary monsters in the last ep? I swear, I didn't catch ONE SINGLE WORD of it on the first viewing. Hewlett can literally say forty words in four seconds, and it's crystal clear, but OH FLANIGAN.

And he sounds to me like he's from the Midwest, but that doesn't explain a lot of the other stuff going on there. ::boggles::

[mrsronweasley.livejournal.com]

Midwest, yes! He sounds the way CKR wanted to sound in DS, only...failed? And yeah. Codwell. Oh, FLAN. I actually missed that line TWICE, btw - the scary monster? Yeah. I never even notice how fast DH talks, 'cause he's so precise, but oh, Joe Flanigan. Diction is GOOD. (I think he says 'family' in 'Sateda'? When talking to Teyla on the Daedulus? I KNOW I've heard him say it...) Oh, I love him. So. MUCH.

Speaking of the last episode...

OMGTHELOVE.

Also? Trust me. That ep will take her down like it's a rhino dart and she's a kitten. It's our best shot.

[mrsronweasley.livejournal.com]

It has to. 'Cause. EYES.

[c-regalis.livejournal.com]

*narrows eyes* You trying to... drag me over to the dark side? I HAVE CALLUM I AM FINE.

[c-regalis.livejournal.com]

NO WAY IN EVER AND EVER. Hmpf. You WISH. And I don't hate you. *dignified* Pity, maybe, but hate...?

And I am SO not surprised that you go for the scowl and the baseball bat and the menacing. Some things never change. *g*

Hiiiiiii, Diiiiiiiii! Callum misses you! And me too. Mostly Callum though. Of course. *dignified again*

[http://users.livejournal.com/_divya_/]

Hee. Pity, maybe some disdain, but... okay. I can live with that. That's how bad I've got it.

Some things never change. *g*

::beams at you:: You know it, sister. You know the exact thing I'm talking about. Think "every one-off bad guy Callum's ever played." YUM.

And I miss Callum, too. But mostly, I miss you. ::not very dignified at all::

[c-regalis.livejournal.com]

You know it, sister.

I do know indeed (Imissyoutooomgsoverymuchclings). I am glad to hear that at least some things are like they ought to be. *relieved*

[http://users.livejournal.com/_divya_/]

::loves:: Also? At least I don't have any icons of him yet. Alsoalso? I totally make fun of the way he talks. So there's that. I'm not a total loss yet.

:oD

[mrsronweasley.livejournal.com]

*sigh* Not even for us?.. *bats eyelashes and maybe even purrs a bit*

Hey, I have no shame...

[c-regalis.livejournal.com]

Oooh, purring. Nice.

...that's an amazingly beautiful man there in your icon, I can't think of anything else I could ever need. *g*

[http://users.livejournal.com/_divya_/]

Did we mention that he calls a girl "bitch" during the baseball bat thing? JUST SAYING.

Ahem.

[mrsronweasley.livejournal.com]

Oooooh God, that was CRIMINALLY hot. *shivers*

[c-regalis.livejournal.com]

*looks shifty* That doesn't mean anything. Callum does that in every single movie. Or, well, almost. IdonotneedyourJoeFlaniganlalalaIcan'thearyooooouuuuu.
