Blood Ties: I am in shippy heaven

[alexandral]

OMPH!! Episode 10, Necrodome was everything I could wish (for now :D) in my shippy dreams. Though I find some of the episode of "Blood Ties" entertaining I am in it mostly for Henry and Henry/Vicki sake. Last episode was an interesting one with questions about life and death raised and it had some lovely, lovely Vicki/Henry scenes. Their kiss was OMPH! inducing but I guess Vicki did it because they were trying to maintain their cover.. Still, I do like it very much when a hero and a heroine "have" to kiss because they are on a stakeout and trying to be unnoticed. I sometimes doubt how well unnoticed passionate kisses can make you, though! But anyways, stakeout kissing is one of my favorite guilty pleasures and IT WAS THERE!

But what was even better: the scene where Henry was trying to figure out some new smell that Vicki was wearing. Here I lost power of speech for about 2 minutes.. I had to re-watch this moment many times, so so good.

Even though my .avi files of terrible blurry quality and of terrible orange colouring I made some screen caps and icons of THE SHIPPY SCENE OF THE WEEK:

Loved them all. Will credit if I use any.

I am so glad you like them! Henry is soo pretty and icon-worthy. :D And the screen seem to sizzle every time he and Vicki are together. :D

Gah! For some reason my DVR keeps messing up and skipping Blood Ties. Weirdly, another person on my f-list also has a DVR that refuses to record Lifetime (the channel that airs it). Technology is weird. And maddening.

[alexandral.livejournal.com]

This is surely some conspiracy to deprive you of Henry's hotness. :D There seems to be growth in the base of "Blood ties" fans and downloads are very fast. The only thing is that the files are quite poor in quality. I wonder how is the quality of the episodes on the TV screen, if everything is also orange or not..

If you keep having problems, I can send you all the episodes after this season is over!!!

[nutmeg3.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I missed a couple early on (including the movie that introduced it) and two of the last three, so I may take you up on that. Thank you again. :-)

[alexandral.livejournal.com]

No trouble at all - can you watch .avi files? This set is a bit blurry so I don't think they will make good DVDs, it is better if you watch them as they are..

[nutmeg3.livejournal.com]

I don't know if I've ever tried. I'm sure I could find a way, even if it meant downloading something to let me do it.

[alexandral.livejournal.com]

I'll include the codec pack for watching with the files. I'll wait for the end of season and let you know when I send them!!!!

The quality is poor, and the lighting on the show is terrible! All those inconveniently placed shadows, right over Henry's face.

[alexandral.livejournal.com]

Thank you very much for the info! I was wondering why .avi are so bad but this makes sense. If original material quality is not very good it is difficult to make it into anything..

[anli.livejournal.com]

these are great! I took some and will credit when I use :)

[alexandral.livejournal.com]

I am so glad you like them!! Henry and Vicki are my favorite ship of the monet, i hope to see them together soon. :D

[anli.livejournal.com]

I can understand that ^^ I like them too *grin+

[alexandral.livejournal.com]

Heeeeee! It is all about the age difference. :D

[lupanotte.livejournal.com]

glorious! took 3 and 8, will credit when used. they are the perfect ship! if they dont get together sometime im gonna have a fit.

[alexandral.livejournal.com]

They are so fabulous together. ** cough cough ** I know some spoilers from the books – do you like spoilers?

[lupanotte.livejournal.com]

oh darlin, i've read all of them a million times over. ^.^

[alexandral.livejournal.com]

I hope they will go the way books went (at least, some of the way :D)

[petzipellepingo.livejournal.com]

Yes indeed, nothing like the smell of "death" to get a vampire all hot and bothered "fans self". Very nice caps and icons.

[alexandral.livejournal.com]

I am so glad you like them! But Hee! I thought that "smell of death" was just an excuse, Henry just could not restrain himself after the stakeout. :D

[revolos55.livejournal.com]

That was a great scene.

"You smell like death..."

And the OMGWTF look on Vicki's face ;)

[alexandral.livejournal.com]

She did enjoy some of it too. :D I hope their relationship will be developed further in this season . ;D

[runriggers.livejournal.com]

Grabbed the second screencap - they sizzle on paper, let along in 3 D on tv......

[alexandral.livejournal.com]

I am so glad you liked it!! ( I made MANY of this scene's screencaps but had to draw the line. :D

[sapphs.livejournal.com]

*squeals*

OMG this episode was just LOVE for Henry/Vicki *dances* That sniff scene was just so sensual and primal...

Great work on the icons!!

[alexandral.livejournal.com]

Oh, it was such a lovely, lovely scene! Henry is so open in his feelings for Vicki, and he is generally a very opened person. I like this so much about him!

[jenhughlove.livejournal.com]

I love that scene...and his eyes! :)

[alexandral.livejournal.com]

EEEEE! I love every bit of Henry. :D And I am so glad that this is a common interest we share!!!!!!!

I know you diligently check your flist, but I have major project at work (http://bzoppa.livejournal.com/311614.html) I could use a bit of orientation on.

Can you check out the post? Let me know what I need to be working with? Because I have no idea and I think if I had just a clue as to where to start, I could... well, start.

Thanks, lady.

EEEEEE! I hope so much that this project works out well! I saw that your friend gave you a couple of good links and I 'll try to draw a skeleton of the table structure tomorrow (I posted it on paper in your LJ). This can give you a start as to what to think about and you can always develop you own as you know more details!

Oh! I came looking for Friday Night Lights icons, as I saw some of yours used by cofax7, but I'm so glad I saw these too. I snagged #02 -- Wow!

[alexandral.livejournal.com]

I can't wait when "Blood ties" will be back!!!!
