And NOW for some "funny bits"! [Before we move on into teh NEXT "serious" moment....] FIRST, there's that whole "distraction" routine, where Rain gets up on teh rooftop and LOUDLY PROCLAIMS his presence, in a "Come and Get Me" manner that's HILARIOUS!!! Makes it sound like some sorta' detergent commercial, too, like, "Buy NOW, before it's GONE!"--and THEN he falls OFF of teh roof! [Way-ta' GO, Doofus! "Impress" people, why don't-cha'!?] And I LO-VE this moment when he makes teh mistake of calling Kiki "Bunny-ears".....*snork* It's even funnier considering that all this silliness up in teh tree is occurring at teh SAME time things are getting serious again down below--and Rain's yelp of, "Let GO! You Beast, you!" makes me laugh every time! Yup, Rain's a bit of a doofus, but a l oveable one, though! Too late! *snickers*

BTW--P-kitty, doesn't this moment with Rain on teh rooftop [sounds like teh title of a SONG, noda!] remind you of teh Doctor [especially Tom Baker's version] and something HE would DO!? I mean, teh NUMBER of times that Time Lord would walk RIGHT INTO teh MIDDLE of a VERY BAD SITUATION and ask teh nearest grumpy-lookin' antagonist, "Care for a jelly baby?", like it was NUTHIN'.....! *Snort!* Yup, Rain's a bit of a doofus, but a l oveable one, though! That's teh Best Kind, noda! Ahhh.....Yes! *sigh!* Yeppers!! *giggles with GLEE!*

No.....not USUALLY......*Har!* [Not to get off teh subject, but there WAS one scene with teh Second Doctor--Patrick Troughton--where he was being attacked by these "spores", which were really just soap bubbles--cheap special effects, ya' know!--and while filming, he slipped and fell and came up again with a face full of bubbles! And since it was still live TV at teh time, he just kept acting and they left that IN! Pretty funny, actually!!!]

Sorry it's been so long since I last posted here--too much to do, ya' know....... Anyway, getting into more "serious" territory again, from Vol.1-- THIS is a very moving moment, when that nasty Bitch Sharem tries to shoot first Ayla, and then Machika, who steps in front of her to take teh blow, and it appears Machika is gonna' be dead--until RAIN, Bless his Kind Heart and Soul, steps in front of BOTH girls, and DOES take teh bullets meant for them!!! Now, a cynic may say, "So WHAT!? He knows those bullets won't kill him, so it's NO big deal!"--but I beg-ta' DIFFER!!! Just because they don't Kill him, DON'T mean it still DON'T HURT, DAMMIT!!! And Rain doesn't just take a few shots--He REFUSES to move, even when Machika BEGS him to, taking shot after shot until Sharem apparently empties her gun! And then there is that close-up of his bleeding face, when he says to Machika, "Let me PROTECT you. Please." Well, I don't know about YOU, but just teh sheer IRONY of teh fact that he's found a "good use" for teh Immortality her never wanted in teh FIRST place gets MY tear-ducts a-goin'!--I mean, probably one thing that has tortured Rain thru' all those 600-some years he's lived thru' is a feeling of "uselessness", teh unfulfillment he must suffer EVERY DAY knowing he CANNOT live a "normal" life........... And NOW, teh chance to help, even SAVE someone when he COULD have just kept running...............No matter HOW MUCH it hurts........! *Sniff!* Oh, RAIN.........!!!! AND THEN that nasty, NASTY Bitch, Sharem, SHOOTS OUR PO' RAIN IN teh HEAD................!Ya' KNOW, I'm REALLY startin'-ta' "Dislike" her..........*snort!*

I think this is teh first time Machika has ever had anyone do something like that for her. I mean, she was trying to kill him too, initially. You can tell she was very touched... And yeah, Sharem isn't very nice. She doesn't improve in my opinion of her in future volumes, either...

Sorry I've been so remiss on this thread--Busy, busy, busy, DRAT it ALL! Here's another "little moment" I liked from Vol.1.... It's from just after Rain stands up again after Sharem [teh Bitch] had shot him in teh head and he was unconscious for a short while--after Sharem and her flunkies have FINALLY left, Rain collapses again, and Machika helps him to lean up against a tree to rest a bit [Hey, at teh very LEAST, teh bullet in his head oughta' be makin' him pretty woozy, Right!?] To me, that weary look on his face is proof positive that being Immortal does NOT mean "Free of all Pain" OR able to go on without rest..........Po' Rain [You just make me wanna' HOLD you, Forever....!] teh conversation just after this moment is rather enlightening, as Machika argues with him about teh VALUE of his OWN life, apparently forgetting for teh moment that He is Immortal and that SHE was "supposed" to be KILLING him! It's amusing and touching and ironic, but if ANYONE can get Rain Jewlitt to APPRECIATE his over-long Life, it'll PROBABLY be Machika! [She makes "plucky" into a GOOD word again, Bless her!]

Well--bought my Vol. 2, then sat in teh parking lot "skimming" thru' it until it got too dark to see properly--I think I'M gonna' LIKE this one a WHOLE LOT, too! Oh, and that one comment that is made, that Rain "LOVES people", just sums him up, PERFECTLY! 'Cuz he DOES, in SPITE of all he's been put thru'! Personally, I don't think Yuca has a snowball's chance in HELL of ever TRULY changing THAT, NO, I do NOT!

For refresher, I shall post a few of my favorite moments: On teh train, when he deals with teh punks that took it over *snicker* A tender moment between Rain and Machika *squee* After guys on teh prison ship make comments about Machika. He's awful protective there, isn't he? He's smiles that heart melting smile... *sigh* After he sneaks into Machika's room with flowers to cheer her up. He just looks so cute here. And of course, another tender moment. *squish*

For refresher, I shall post a few of my favorite moments: On teh train, when he deals with teh punks that took it over *snicker* And teh BEST thing about THAT moment is that he was miffed at MACHIKA, for risking her life to get back his violin! teh stupid bandit just happened to get in teh way, is all! [Those bandit siblings were a HOOT, weren't they!? AND, I think their mutual Father needs a VASECTOMY, post haste!! *snicker*] And yet so "tentative", as if they're BOTH a bit afraid of what it might mean in teh end, to ADMIT how MUCH they've come to care for each other......*sniff* YEP! But he needs a better "follow-up", so he WON'T get teh crap beaten outta' him! *Ow* I goes to COMPLETE MUSH, noda! Ohhhhhhh-h-h-h-h.... RAIN............! So SWEET! Well, except fer' getting STUCK in teh air duct, that is! *snork* And NOT so tentative, THIS time! [And WHAT is it about hugging Rain that just makes a person FEEL SO GOOD, I wonder!?] Doc Hottie, lifting his head from teh table in teh Lounge--"He let YOU HUG him!? Hey, NO FAIR!" [Lets head fall back onto table with a *THUD*--*owww*]

[Those bandit siblings were a HOOT, weren't they!? AND, I think their mutual Father needs a VASECTOMY, post haste!! *snicker*] Seriously. But, it won't be teh last we see of Eury... They were both a bit emotional here, too. I mean, Machika basically told him she was giving up teh bounty which must have struck him with complete surprise. I bet no one had ever done that for his sake before. Plus, he was feeling a bit guilty for yelling at Machika when she had done this selfless thing for him by retreiving something that had a lot of sentimental value to him. *snickers* I thought it was so cute how he blushed after he did that. Coming to a lady's defense like that. He's so gallant... How can you not! He's so dreamy! And a real sweetie on top of that. *siiiiigh*
