Kings Thoughts

[alixtii]

The flist seems to be a flurry about Kings, and about how awesome the characters are. The characters being discussed, however, are almost always male. Also, the femslashy portion of my flist has been fairly silent.

This does not make me want to watch Kings.

However, one of the characters the flist is a-squee about is the prince, Jack. And I know from the promos there is a princess who is David's het love interest. The chances that these characters, the prince and the princess, could be brother and sister seems reasonably good.

This does make me want to watch Kings.

(Also, the promo seemed will-to-powery. But I saw the promo in a movie theatre, and then when I realized it was for a TV series, I was disappointed. Because I wanted there to be two or three hours of obstacles and then at the end for the guy to get the girl. I don't think I'm interested enough for a TV show. Unless there could be incest.)

ETA: The fact that apparently their mother is the Borg Queen might be enough to push me over the edge.

They ARE brother and sister--they're Jonathan and Michal.

I haven't read Solomon or Kings recently enough to have any idea who Michal is without working backwards from the TV princess, but the brother/sister thing seemed to make sense. Now I just need to write an AU where she gets sent to a special academy and he has to give up the kingdom in order to break her out.

There's nothing in the way of real female characters on the show, from what I can tell. It's all about watching David and King Benjamin do their thing, and one of those is Ian McShane, which is pretty awesome, but that's what the show hinges on.

Yeah.
