Okay I need to take a moment to squee about all the delicious new promo material for the upcoming dramas
The Borgias and
Camelot, especially regarding the pairings of Lucrezia/Cesare and Arthur/Morgan respectively.
First of all, though we still don't know to what extent their relationship will be romantic, from the clips and pictures and interviews it certainly seems like Arthur/Morgan will be intense and epic and important, which is just how I like it! :)
( 'The relationship between Arthur and Morgan and their dual desire for the throne is the key spine of the series.' )Then there's the fact that
The Borgias (which has an even more epic trailer than
Camelot's) seems to be pushing the incestuous Lucrezia/Cesare relationship as the epic romance of the series, which is pretty bold and amazing and pleases the d00med!shipper in me very much, lol! ;) As a long-time Arthur/Morgan(a) shipper I'm used to shipping incest/half-siblings anyway, lol, it doesn't phase me, and from the trailers and pictures it looks like a really gripping and compelling/touching forbidden romance, full of chemistry....I haven't even seen the show yet, and I'm already shipping it SO hard! :p <333 Here's a mini-spam of the shippy promo pics we have so far...
( Taking 'brotherly love' a little too far... )Also I like the look of Cesare so far, he seems sympathetic
and really hot. And of course there's Pope Jeremy Irons, can't go wrong there...I could listen to that voice all day! :)
Anyway, can't wait for these shows to come out! I remember being so excited when
when I first heard about Camelot, and it's good to see it doesn't look disappointing so far....though god, more TV in the spring, lol, at this rate I'll be swamped! :p
In other news I bought my first lottery tickets ever, lol, since the Mega Millions is up to $355 million today, so might as well! The draw is at 11 pm, lol, we'll see...
EDIT: While looking for the
The Borgias trailer to rewatch I also found one for
a Spanish movie called Los Borgia in 2006 starring Lluís Homar as Rodrigo Borgia and Paz Vega, which I clearly need to watch now! :D
EDIT 2: Now I've also realized that the icon I used here is even more appropriate than I thought, since the actress playing Young!Morgaine seen there is apparently the same one playing Guinevere now, all grown up! Another reason to be excited for
Camelot...:D I did love her in MoA, and lol how ironic to go from playing Morgan to Guinevere...
