- to sum it up: awesome acting!
- Hahaha. "I know what it means - since when does Sam?" - "DUdes, I have a dictionary...on my phone." LOL.
- Roland caught on really quickly how to exploit his new face, but Sam? Of course it took Mia to make him realize he was a person of authority for now. His obsession with Mia is slowly descending into creepy territory though.
- "Do not open your mouth!" - "Oops." Hahaha.
- Loved the casual use of their powers. Need a distraction? Here, have an earthquake. :D Need a torch lit? Wave your hands, Felix!
- Blackmailing Roland into keeping his mouth shut might come back to bite them...
- "You failed woodwork?" - "Shelves are tricky!"
- Secret rooms in the school! All my school had was a musty old theatre storage room...
- "Did you feed me?!"
- So looks like Roland is sort of an ally now, and Alice is still up to no good. Two more episodes in this season. WHEN ARE WE FINALLY GETTING ANDY BACK?!

I agree with everything you said! The actor who played Roland did a FANTASTIC JOB mimicking Sam, I was laughing myself to stitches! Sam himself was also very enjoyable, I loved him being the smart one for a change! =D

Casual use of their powers, yes! My friend said she is sure that Felix must have been busy practicing because he lit those torches so flawlessly and even elegantly! =D

I liked the reveal about the secret room in the school! Although I found it a bit weird that nobody had tried twisting that one tool more than two times in the minimum two years that this thing was hanging on the board? (It would have been great if they had needed Sam to do create something like a mini twister - would have been awesome to see whether the powers are attached to the "soul" or the body! xD)

- Two more episodes in this season. WHEN ARE WE FINALLY GETTING ANDY BACK?!
Yeah I think they will get him back in the finale. =/ I am wondering what the reason was for not including the actor so much this season? Scheduling problems?

[seraphina_snape]

Yep. He even had body language and facial expressions down. Really great!

The boys have definitely been practicing. I mean, wouldn't you? If I could create fire with the power of my mind, I'd turn into quite the pyromaniac...

Ah well. I'm pretty sure we had stuff in our art room at school that no one's touched in years. But it would have been extremely awesome to see them use their powers to get into the room.

would have been awesome to see whether the powers are attached to the "soul" or the body!
Oh, interesting. Maybe we'll get an answer to that in the future.

I can't see anything on Joel Lok's imdb page, but scheduling is one thing that would make sense...

I am sooo waiting for behind the scenes material for this xD (they have a lot on their website xD).

Oh, interesting. Maybe we'll get an answer to that in the future.
If the show doesn't provide... do you think we could get another comment fic meme? Or at least a heads up to the old post? I know the link is in the sidebar but maybe some (newish?) people haven't found it yet?

And with all that material from S2 there are so many delicious prompts one could make! *w*

but scheduling is one thing that would make sense...
I was thinking maybe school got in the way or something, but then I found out that the actor is apparently 20 years old???? Holy damn he looks SO YOUNG! XD

[seraphina_snape]

There is apparently a four minute mini episode that aired on New Year's, but I can't access it anywhere. It's on youtube (on the official channel), but even with a proxy it isn't letting me watch it, and I can't see it on the website either. *sigh* I've seen a gif set on tumblr and there was use of powers and it looks awesome and I want to see it.

Sure, we can launch the comment fic meme 2.0 at the end of season 2. Maybe make a thread for the old prompts from the last meme and then post new prompts for the current one. I have a ton of prompt ideas already...

20? Wow. imdb doesn't list birthdays for any of them (but it says Rahart was born in 1996, so he's 18 or 19). I'm guessing the others will be of a similar age.

[brenda lezuzette (from livejournal.com)]

You can watch it with a proxy (I used hola set to Australia) on the Oficial ABC3 site!

[seraphina_snape]

I've tried several proxy but that doesn't seem to be working. :/

[brenda lezuzette (from livejournal.com)]

oh hey, i found a region free one, hope it works!

Oh, that worked! Thank you for finding that!

This episode was hilarious! Even more than I expected. They did a really great job with it.

Also, yay for secret rooms! I've loved stories with secret passages since I was reading The Famous Five as a kid.

[seraphina_snape]

I know, right? Sam-in-Roland's-body was hilarious to watch. The actor did a great job with the expressions and body language. (And Rahart did a pretty good job himself, playing Roland-in-Sam's-body.)

I loved The Famous Five as a kid! George was my role model! :D

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

I know, George was so badass. Also, transgender (with the name change), not simply a tomboy. I'm rolling my eyes so hard at people not wanting to "expose" kids to LGBT characters when I grew up with The Famous Five and later on Card Captor Sakura (Touya/Yukito love! <3 my first OTP and they were canon!).

[seraphina_snape]

People who cry "but how will I explain this to THE CHILDREN?!" are the absolute worst! Explaining stuff to children isn't rocket science. "Mommy, why did that boy kiss another boy?" - "Because he likes the other boy." "Problem solved! The only reason children get "confused" by anything outside the norm is because their parents are too narrow-minded to explain it and instead tell them it's "wrong". (Ugh, don't get me started on people who use their children as an excuse to cling to outdated misconceptions and outright prejudice. Children are generally pretty open-minded and accepting - it's the parents that have the problems.)

Yeah. George rocked so hard.

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

Yeah, a lot of children wouldn't even need the explaining if they hadn't been told explicitly at some point that a guy can't be with another guy and a girl can't be with another girl.

[seraphina_snape]

Exactly!
