My three favorites

[valiha]

I don't believe you guys ever saw this wallpaper, right?



It's something I made in honor of my three favorite shows: the Magnificent Seven, the Invisible Man and Star Trek in all of its various incarnations.

My reasons for loving Mag7 are many and various, and also connected to my dad and our shared love for westerns. I love the charaters and the way all of them are there for each other, inspite of their differences, and how they start changing because of each other (even though Ezra fights changing the hardest of them all), and how their friendship tuns into being a family  I love the way the actors portray them, and I think they were perfect for the roles.  And finally, it was the last show my dad and I watched together before I moved to another city, looking for work. 

Invisible Man was such a cool, weird, witty show, with great characters and a wonderfull twist on the old "man can become invisible" premise, that it's just unbelievable that it was cancelled after only two seasons (still, it has more episodes that Mag7).  The two main characters start out as complete opposites, and during the course of the show become as close as brothers.  There's no way to explain this show, you simply have to watch to believe how good it was.  

I'm not even going to try to explain Star Trek.  First of all, it's too darn big, and second, it's a show a grew up with, and the message of humanity finally uniting is just as strong today as it was when it was first made. 

In the end, I have a couple of questions for you: 

- what are your three favorites, and why do you like them? Is it a character that drew your attention, or the stories, or maybe a favorite actor? 

Let me know!

Hi Aida,

Pretty wallpaper which I've added to my folder of your wallpapers which I have on my computer. Hope you don't mind. 8) I really like how you have overlapped Chris's hand on Ezra's shoulder and then Ezra's hand on Nathan's shoulder. Do you by any chance have just that M7 image wallpapered? I'd love to add it to my folder of your works please.

I've never seen the invisible man but two of your three are some of my favorites too. M7 was a classic western movie which was one of my dad's favorites and mine too and when we heard it was being made into a tv seies we just had to see it.
I can't believe its been 10 years as of yesterday that the boys first rode onto the screen and into my heart. I knew Michael Biehn from the Terminator movie, Dale Midkiff from Time Trax and Ron Perlman from "Beauty and the Beast but it was Anthony Starke's portrayal of Ezra that caught my attention. There was so much more to Ezra than just him being a gambler and conman and I couldn't wait to discover more about this intriguing character. I also enjoyed the chemistry between all the seven men. One thing I loved more about the tv series than the movie was that in the series all seven of the guys lived. I disliked that four of the seven in the original movie died.
Anyway, I am so glad that the PTB decided to let Buck survive that sword across his chest in the pilot because if I remember correctly there had been talk of killing off his character at the end of the pilot. Also I am glad that Ron stayed on as Josiah because the show would not have been the same without either character or the actors portraying them.

Happy Birthday to you Aida
