On the topic of Peyton, she makes me think about a series of fics I want to write one day. In my head, I call it Charades, and being a Mac/Stella shipper, when Peyton appeared, it just started another story in my head. How he knows Peyton and him won't last, and how Stella sees that, and all the accompanying angst.
I'm an Australian fan, so we've only just started season three here, and I've seen Peyton in two episodes already. I will defend Forlani's acting ability, because she's not a bad actor, it's just the character I have an issue with. Like Jane, the DNA tech last season, that Mac might, or might not, have been flirting with, depending on how you watch the show. Jane annoyed me, Peyton annoys me. I don't mind British characters, both Peyton and Jane just remind me of that Jane character from Tarzan. Helpless and waiting to be rescued, or, mauled, by leopards. Peyton's, just, too helpless for me, just too annoying, too bland, and, I'm going to go as far and say, too much like a popup book.
Sid, I didn't mind, because Sid looks like he's been there all his life, looks like he could skip through the labs blindfolded and not trip over. He's also funny, and bizarre, in his own unique way. I love Sid, but Peyton, no, I will never. I now delegate myself to glaring at her for the rest of the season, writing fics in my head, and calling her Jane-Away, not because she's a great leader, because I wish, she, would go, away. I liked it better when Sid was leading things. Now she's just popped up and taken control, with an excuse like cellophane. It's, annoying, to say the least...
Sorry if I popped up on here randomly, and went on a rant. I have a lot of displaced anger about Peyton, even though I knew about it months ahead of when I actually saw it.
As for Smacked happening soon? Hell yeah!
On a last and final note, even though I've only seen her twice, I already expect her to go. It just feels like I'm getting lulled into a false sense of security, only to be smacked when she dies, or, goes away again, forever, to some far off and utterly distant country because of some rogue sense of duty for people who can't help themselves. Please, those who control Peyton, do a Jenny Calendar (Buffy character) and make her go away, to prove that even Mac, our handsome and stoic leader, isn't safe from further harm. Please. *Wishes upon a Star.*
) But I think her and Mac are trying SOOO hard to make something work and trying so hard to fit eachother, when deep down they both know that really if they were meant to be they shouldn't have to work this hard at all...it'd be more like it is with Mac and Stel, easy and comfortable and a perfect fit without even trying.
