So, Dance Academy

[lizbee]

1. I can't be the only person who's weirdly fascinated by Tara Morice's right eyebrow, can I?

(ETA: How did that thick black line get there? Well done, Liz, it's apparent you have more than a decade's experience with graphics editing software!)

2. Sometimes I wish the whole show was about Kat and Abigail. I have a bunch of OTPs that basically boil down to "Christian should make out with everyone", but my real ideal end for the series would be for the two of them to be BFFs again.

3. It's right and proper to hate Saskia like burning, right? I don't think I've encountered a character so (intentionally) detestable since Dolores Umbridge.

I don't watch Dance Academy, but as soon as I saw Tara Morice, all I could think was "HOW'S YOUR SKIN FRAN?!"

PAM SHORTT'S BROKEN BOTH HER LEGS AND I WANT TO DANCE WITH YOU.

(beat)

Well, that was unexpected!

I don't even watch Dance Academy, but I have seen Christian and I second your bunch of OTP(s).

Heh. I first saw DA last year, when it was playing in the bar where we ate dinner before seeing Love Never Dies. And I was sort of half-watching along, going, "Yeah, Australian kids TV, can't possibly be any good -- WHO IS THAT GUY AND WHY ISN'T HE IN EVERYTHING EVER?"

So it was a bit of a pleasant surprise when people started telling me the show is actually good. Of course, now I'm just bitter Jordan Rodrigues didn't get to play Zuko.

I would have watched that film.

And I really thought, at first glance, that he was Asian. I am still boggling over "Jordan Rodriguez".

He's definitely Asian, but I think he might have at least one white parent, because his character in DA does. Speculation on Tumblr is that he has a Filipino background, which would account for the Spanish name.
