Going on that final shot from the promo it's either the biggest "queerbaiting" (technical term for shows which draw in fans by appearing to have a gay subtext, usually slash - male/male pairings when they're not intending to go down that same sex relationship) route OR
they're going to kiss and I am going to die! This video is killing me (no spoilers but includes shots from the EP12 promo sneak peaks). Harry Shum Jr is just a phenomenal actor - I could watch him all day - he was born to play Magnus - it's his expressions and flourishes that I adore.Queerbaiting - never heard that before. See these threads are also educational! And, we're on page 8. Who'd've thought it? |

I loved him on Glee so I'm really pleased to see him getting a major role in another big TV series as he was under used there for a lot of the time. Have you seen any of his dance work? Or this seriously hot foreshadowing of his Magnus Bane incarnation! |

Totally agree, I think it's his dance background which just gives him that grace and otherworldly way of moving.

Have now! Scream was freakin awesome! I didn't know he could sing.

I love Godfrey Gao as an actor and he plays Magnus quite differently from Harry but there was no chemistry with Kevin Zeigers at all and the whole film was a real disappointment apart from Jonathan Rhys Meyers, who tore it up as Valentine. His portrayal showed that charismatic power Valentine is supposed to have and the hint of insanity just tipping him over the edge. |

I have to agree about Jonathan. He was probably the only good thing about the movie for me. I felt like none of the characters had any connections at all.

![]() ![]() That was epic! So worth 12 episodes! Absolutely brilliant TV Everything was epic from Izzie's frankly insane colour of lipstick (go rewatch and check it out - that's bleedin' amazing) to the major surprise at the end. And one episode to go!!! |

![]() ![]() sngdxnnsfsdvn jbgjhgiaflsd and then l\dncl\dn ![]() (click the emoticons too!)And Matt Daddario's summation of what happens: Quote:
"So he looks down and sees this wonderful man and he hops down there and he smooches (emphasis his here!) that man right on the face right in front of everyone."
The whole episode, on the back of last week's, was nothing short of brilliant. The pacing was superb, the contrast between the excitement of the wedding, the darkness and the broken dreams of Clace, Malec seemingly ending as Magnus accepts defeat, the death of Ragnor Fell - who'd only been on screen for like 5 minutes but I was tearing up!Then the Sizzy, Simon looking smoking hot in one of Raphael's suits, Lydia just being an all round decent person, and I'm so glad they took that route with her, she could have been a cliche just to foil Malec but she's really brought depth and insight into the Clave and how "the law is the law" has stifled and constricted the Shadowhunters in everything they do. And we also got Jace and Alec at the Bachelor Party which Izzy got Simon's help to create and finally a heart to heart between parabatai which laid it all out on the table and addressed the two elephants in the room - Valentine's revelation and Alec's wedding. Another superb scene with Dom and Matt and I've become more impressed with Dom as the show has gone on. We also had a lovely Alec and Clary scene where they mutually recognised they'd both made mistakes and both helped each other out and things might not be quite so bleak as both originally thought. And then the betrayal I knew was coming as a book reader but which was still superbly done. Hodge attacks Lydia, steals the cup and finally contacts Valentine. Jon Cor has been brilliant as their version of Hodge, rather than the elderly and more scholarly version in the book. Can't believe there's only one episode left and, from the promo,
Spoiler
So, Shadowhunters, you've gone from a show I watched for the pretties and because I'd enjoyed the books when they came out a few years ago into an obsession. You're in good company, only Merlin, Glee and The West Wing have ever done that before. I know they've now started work on Season Two but if I've got to wait until next January I'm gonna be dying! |

Harry Shum Jr is just a phenomenal actor - I could watch him all day - he was born to play Magnus - it's his expressions and flourishes that I adore.
