30 Days Couple Challenge - #4

Day 4: Favorite crack pairing


John Sheppard and Rodney McKay, Stargate: Atlantis

I love these two to pieces but let's be honest, they are NUTS! One is a sharp-tongued genius hypochondriac with a bad attitude, the other is a genius laid back surfer dude with a dislike for authority. Yet somehow, these two managed to save the galaxy time and time again - in-between their epic bicker fests that made their superiors shake their heads in despair!

What I really loved about them was that until McKay met Sheppard, he was an outsider and nobody could stand to even work with him let alone be friends with him. But Sheppard could dish out as much as he could take from McKay, he matched McKay in his geekiness and he was smart enough to understand what McKay was talking about most of the time - and all that made McKay completely flustered! A military guy with a brain! Who knew such a thing was possible?!

House...

I love this BTS vid from the next episode: link. Hugh Laurie is directing it and I loved the part where Robert Sean Leonard said that, yeah, that probably meant they would finish in two and half months because Hugh was slow... LOL! They're all having so much fun!

And you know what? Even though the show's ending, the fact that the handful of episodes left will focus on House and Wilson makes me want to watch the first few seasons again. Here, in the Czech Republic, it's only 229CZK for one season - that's 13 bucks! And the first two or three were fabulous!

Also, I loved what David Shore said about House and Wilson in reaction to the latest episode aired - and what's up for them in the last four: link. (The article linked is full of SPOILERS!)

Series creator David Shore recently told TVLine that the House-Wilson friendship will take center stage as the show nears its conclusion. “I think male friendship is something rarely explored on TV or even in the movies in much depth,” he said. “[There's] plenty of wingmen, plenty of guys trying to get other guys laid and stuff like that. But a real friendship with real depth and lasting years and going through challenges and being there for each other and confronting each other… [is unique]. The [House/Wilson] relationship is one I’m particularly proud of because it’s something you don’t see on TV very much.”

A short article...

... in which Benedict Cumberbatch talks about his experience on the Star Trek set: link. My favorite part?

Cumberbatch shot "Sherlock" in Wales, but for "Star Trek," he's in Los Angeles, sometimes on a proper movie lot, with all the amenities that go with it -- such as catered lunches.

Asked if he's enjoying it all, Cumberbatch says, "Yeah, you betcha. It's great. I've gone up two suit sizes. The character I'm playing, he's strong, I can say that much. I've changed my physique a bit, so that requires eating like a foie gras goose, well beyond your appetite, and, providing I don't feel too ill, I then work out two hours a day with a phenomenal trainer. It's the L.A. way."

Foie gras goose? LOL! He's so incredibly sweet and funny! You just have to love the guy. I really can't wait to see him in the movie. Especially since everybody and their uncle is praising his voice work - I just adore his voice, it makes me all tingly ;)
