Megan/Peter picspam!

[icepixie]

PICSPAM OF EPICNESS! Because their cuteness could be contained by nothing less!

Expect lots of squee, a little snark, some dialogue that never happened (and some that did), and a few appearances by other cast members, because there is so much pretty and so much awesome in this cast that I couldn't leave them out.

Those of you who don't watch the show, just take a look at these very attractive people and tell me you don't want to click that cut tag:



Due credit: Caps from grumpybear1031, with a couple of my own.


Megan is pretty much the coolest medical examiner on TV. Problem is, she knows it.


"Don't believe everything you've heard about me, detectives. The truth is much worse." (I think this might've been the line in the previews that tipped me over into trying the show.) Although the amusing thing is that I don't think Bud and Sam had heard of her before they met in the pilot. Oh, Megan. You and your ego are like a whole OTP of your own.


Peter is actually filling out a form or something behind Megan here, but it kind of looks like he's doing up her scrubs for her. Aw.


I don't really get why Megan has such a Star Trek sort of chair (and it disappears after the pilot), but I'm kind of loving it. I'm loving even more the pictures of her and Hillary and her and Condi on the shelf behind her. Megan was really, REALLY good at her previous job.


"Lacey lives with her father. He has full custody. And he got it because a woman who works eighteen hours a day is an absentee mother, while a man who works the same hours is a good provider." alethialia quoted this line in her preview of the pilot, and I remember thinking, "Hmmm. Maybe I should watch this."


Megan: So not talking to you.
Peter: Yeah, well, I'm talking to you. Tough.


Megan: Did you want something, or are you just lurking?
Peter: I didn't know if you were talking to me again or not.

*snerk*


Megan: So, are these photocopies from the Kama Sutra you slipped into this folder supposed to be a hint?
Peter: Take them any way you want.
Megan: Oh, I know exactly what I want...


They're so cute with the way they look at each other with raised eyebrows and smirks, like they're on exactly the same page and are finding the page highly amusing. I'm waiting for the moment when they pull a Castle-and-Beckett and start finishing each others' sentences.


"Why are you still here? GO HOME! Alternately, you could come with me and we'll go have dinner..."


"...I don't really understand what just happened here, but I'm really intrigued."

I love the way he's always looking at her (almost, but not quite, to the point of being a bit stalkery), as if she's the most fascinating person he's ever met.


Walk and talk. They do this a lot.


Peter is not buying one bit of that crap you're pushing.


Neither is Megan.


Ahahaha. I love that Megan gets at least one of these moments in every episode, where she's so adorably smug about how she's figured something out. In RL this would drive me up the frakking wall, but I love it on TV. The fact that Dana Delany has an endless catalog of self-satisfied smirks probably helps.


I just think this picture is cute. I dunno. (Also, the Philly skyline is pastede in yay.)


"You can reach your what with your tongue? I think we should explore this tonight."



Peter: If you're trying to break Megan, it's not going to work.
Kate: I'm not trying to break her, I'm trying to contain her.

(Alternately:
Kate: Okay, you know I have no objection to you and Megan in principle, but we've got to talk about appropriate office behavior.
Peter: Tone down the eyesex?
Kate: Actually, I was going to say that next time you make out in the supply closet, you might want to put everything back the way it was.
Peter: Uh, that's really about the only thing you can't accuse us of doing. Does Curtis have a girlfriend?)


We interrupt this picspam for a couple more shots of Kate looking amazing. I think this is my favorite outfit of hers.


"We're from the ME's office. Mess with us at your peril."


"Hi, Lacey! Just thought I'd drop by to see if you don't hate me anymore now that I gave you a key to my apartment and you gave me some birthday cake."


"Oh. Well, okay, then." (Awwww, Megan. Don't worry, two episodes later it appears that you and Lacey are totally BFFs.)


Megan is way cooler than you.


"Oops, time to go off and be awesome."


"Hey, what about me? Can I come?"


I'm mostly including these because her hair is amazing.


So is Kate's. And that shirt is a great color for her.


I love the way he's looking at her right here. Love it.


"All right, then, I dare you: Go out with me tonight."


"Dammit, you know I can't resist a dare. What time?"


We interrupt this picspam for some shots of Sam Baker being AWESOMELY BADASS. We haven't seen much of her yet, but I really do think she's great.


Don't mind us, we'll just stand here looking amazing...


Uhhh, Peter, you might be looking a little shifty there.


This is =a publicity still, so it's actually Dana and Nic laughing with each other, but whatever, I can pretend it's Megan and Peter sharing a joke.


She is SO CUTE.


Peter: If you applied that laser-like focus to the people around you, you wouldn't have to ask [what's up with me and Sam giving each other significant looks over Bud's attitude]. Nevertheless, I think the fact that you're so brilliant at your job but completely clueless about other people is adorable.
Megan: Do you WANT me to stab you with one of the multitude of sharp objects I have at my disposal? Because I can.


"Megan...come back to me..."


I love the moments when he looks at her all, "Your brain is AMAZING." I think it's wonderful how much he obviously respects and appreciates her brilliance.


Still one of my favorite humorous moments. Megan just has no concept of boundaries and no brain/mouth filter, does she?


"Even the most observant person in the world can miss what's right in front of them" Peter's pretty good at being smug too.


Another break for Kate looking fabulous. I'd like to take a moment to point out that my hair looks exactly like a chin-length version of hers in this picture. Possibly it's a touch redder. Still, we basically have the same hair. I'm tempted to try methods of getting the messy curls she sometimes puts in hers; at the moment, the only time my hair does that is when it's raining.


"Um, Megan, you're smiling at me. It's kind of freaking me out. Please stop."


That really was an excellent dress. Also, I want to give the lighting director an Emmy for this scene. It was beautifully lit.


Megan certainly thought so.


"So that's where my purple scrubs went. Also, hi. What the hell are you doing?"


How much do I love this show for having two women (women of reasonably-appropriate ages for their position, even!) wield basically all the power and a good chunk of the brain trust on this show? So very, very much love.


"Did you just call us cute?"


"Peter and Megan sittin' in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G..."


My second-favorite outfit of Kate's. Note to self: start looking for clothing in those colors. (Um. Not in purple in general, because half my wardrobe is purple, but lighter shades of purple.)


I love their expressions here. Love them! They are SO CUTE!


On the other hand, I would definitely not want to be on the receiving end of this expression. (But have I mentioned yet that I think Dana's freckles are insanely adorable?)


Teaching moment. Aww.


Random picture of concerned!Peter.


I enjoyed the moments in this episode where Megan got her teach on, explaining what the incisions were for, and pushing Peter to look closer at the artery under the microscope. Like I said earlier, I like that he respects her knowledge and wants to learn from her, and I like that she's interested in teaching him. (I usually run screaming from anything that even remotely resembles teacher/student—teaching college freshmen will do that to you—but I like it here, maybe because it's so informal and because he's the teacher and she's the student in other areas.)

(I'm also going to briefly draw your attention to a very amusing portion of the corpse's anatomy in the first picture. Just look. You'll see it.)


Peter: Don't mind me. I'll just lurk over your shoulder here.
Megan: I don't mind at all.
Peter: ...Really?


HOW DOES SHE EVEN WALK IN THOSE SHOES??! I would fall on my face with every step.


"Have you two considered working out your tension via, say, naked Jell-O wrestling? Just a thought."


This might've been the moment where I actually became fond of Ethan and Curtis. (Also, Curtis really is kind of an Emerson Cod clone. Not as cool, though. We should send these writers Pushing Daisies episodes so they can study up.)


Ethan: Who's the man, who's the man?
Curtis: Uh, aren't you forgetting someone?
Ethan: ...Who are the men, who are the men?

Very possibly one of my favorite moments from this episode.


"Uh, hi, guys. Guess you caught us having a moment there. I suppose we should have these things behind closed doors. Gosh, this is embarrassing."


"But I get to show off my brilliance, so I guess I'm not too upset."


SO ridiculous and unnecessary, but undeniably awesome. (And hilarious.)


Breaking down a door together is an obvious sign of twu wuv, especially when followed by emergency kitchen floor surgery.


Like so.


"I believe in you, Megan!"


"Nothing I love better than fishing around in someone's guts."


Megan: My first time in the OR, I fainted.
Peter: I'll faint later.

This little exchange was so sweet. She trusts him enough to admit something that makes her actually look less than cool, because she knows he won't think less of her for it. Also, in my head, when they follow the ambulance back to the hospital, Peter totally faints in the passenger seat. Possibly Megan mocks him very gently.


SO. CUTE. And I love the nurse's expression here. It's like she's two seconds from busting out a Pushing Daisies's ME-like "Mmmm-hmmm."


I included this because through a trick of blocking, it looks like they're hugging. Perhaps they will actually hug at some point this season?


"It's my job as your conscience to make sure you talk to your mother. Here."


"Have I mentioned lately that I hate you?"


Curtis: Second-stage califoridae.
Peter: Huh?
Curtis: Blowfly maggots to you.

I kind of love how all the scientists on this show are various degrees of jerkish about their specialties.


[looking at a picture of Daphne on the cover of her own magazine]
Bud: Modest.
Megan: Confident.
Peter: I don't see one hanging in your office.
Megan: Yet.

I feel like this cap pretty much sums up everything about these three and their interaction. Megan walking off all awesome, Bud looking at Peter like, "Is she for real? And how do you put up with her all day?", and Peter just kind of smiling to himself because he enjoys Megan's brand of snark.


I'm running out of things to say at this point, but here's another cap of Peter looking adoringly at Megan.


Peter: You and your internal organs. You're so cute.
Megan: Get the hell over here and help me figure out what's going on with this lung.
Peter: Yes, dear.


I actually don't remember what's going on here, but look at her expression. I couldn't not include it.


Curtis: Time for dinner, little buddies...
Ethan: I HATE MY LIFE I HATE MY LIFE I HATE MY LIFE


Oh, there are going to be several of these. ADORABLE.


I'm amused by how blatantly Peter is looking down her dress.


AWWWWWWW.


So cute!


"'Colleague' my expensively-shod foot! Let's go talk to her mother and get all the gossip about Megan's very attractive new man."


Joan: Oh, he's marvelous.
Peter: We work together.
Joan: Of course you do.

BWAHAHAHA. That "of course you do" just killed me.


Joan, you might want to watch out. I think your daughter might shiv you at some point in the near future.


"Note to self: Never invite my daughter anywhere again."


I'm just going to point smugly at one of my earlier fics where Megan and Peter wind up at the lab after a date that's been cut short. If it's one thing I know, it's inevitable shippy cliches.


More smugness. Megan, you're so cute.


THIS SCEEEEEEEEEENNNNNNNEEEEEE.


I love the way he's looking at her here. "People will actually like you if you give them a chance. Especially me. Hint, hint."


"Don't look so shocked. I just want to hang out with you."

I think what I really like about this scene is how she's beating herself up over not being able to solve the case, and Peter, who's spent the last five episodes admiring her brain, is saying, "Look, it's okay if you don't get this one exactly right. I think you're great whether or not you solve every single case. I like you, not just what you can do ME-wise."


"Really? With me?"


"You know, maybe I could reschedule with my mother..."


AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW.

("Wait. First you tell me you can't go out with me on this quasi-date I asked you on, then you almost kiss me? I'm getting very mixed signals here.")


Oh, come on, Megan. Just put the bottle down and actually touch him. Obviously you wanted to just a minute ago. And my god, can you see the way he's looking at you???


She's so cute when she has epiphanies.


They look very Mulder and Scully here. I think it's the flashlight.


"Well, no, I guess we don't really need to be standing this close to each other, but we like it."


Another Kate-looks-awesome break.


And she also gets case-related epiphanies.


Bud: She's YOUR partner; will you please do something about her?
Peter: And what exactly makes you think I can make her do anything she doesn't want to do?

In sum: OMG THEY ARE SO ADORABLE. I CAN'T EVEN. THEY ARE SO INCREDIBLY CUTE.

Here endeth the picspam. I hope you had half as much fun as I did. :D

ABC peoples saw her in the Castle two-parter last year

Wow, I totally don't remember her in that! My brain is a sieve. Sounds like ABC is a big fan of her, though.

She's been in stuff, it's just...she apparently shares the same agent with Lee Pace, and so it tends to be crappy stuff. And canceled stuff.

Well, to be fair, that *is* the majority of what's on tv....

apparently her character discovered she was bisexual and ran off to Paris with another of the wives?

Lol, that's one way to write out a character! Yeah, I feel no need to watch Desperate Housewives either.

You didn't watch BSG, did you?

Nope.

And a third lung!

Well, that's practical, at least!

[icepixie]

Wow, I totally don't remember her in that! My brain is a sieve. Sounds like ABC is a big fan of her, though.

She was so good! You should, er, acquire those episodes and watch again. Part of me kind of wishes they'd just made a spin-off about her character.

Well, to be fair, that *is* the majority of what's on tv....

Crappier and more canceled in higher concentrations than is usual for one actor's career, then.

Lol, that's one way to write out a character!

I do get the impression it was unexpected. But also that people liked it, so...good for them?

Yeah, I feel no need to watch Desperate Housewives either.

I've heard rumblings about how it's subversive of gender roles and whatnot, but I've also heard it's a soap opera, and my patience for those is thin.

Crappier and more canceled in higher concentrations than is usual for one actor's career, then.

Haha, extra canceled! Canceled so hard it makes your head spin!

I've heard rumblings about how it's subversive of gender roles and whatnot, but I've also heard it's a soap opera, and my patience for those is thin.

Eh, it would take a loooooot of subversion to get me into anything centered on housewives, bleh.

[icepixie]

Canceled so hard it makes your head spin!

Kuh-CHUNK.

Eh, it would take a loooooot of subversion to get me into anything centered on housewives, bleh.

I don't object to the housewifery of it all, but it sounded like there were a lot of boring marital problems and affairs in addition to the baking skillz jealousy and...apparently having one's daughter die in accident, covering it up, and adopting a girl who looks just like her and giving her the same name and identity? Yeah, not for me.

(Though amusingly, Dana's character was married to Nathan Fillion for a while!)

.apparently having one's daughter die in accident, covering it up, and adopting a girl who looks just like her and giving her the same name and identity?

woooooaaaaaaaaah, that's some amazing soap right there. Oof.

(Though amusingly, Dana's character was married to Nathan Fillion for a while!)

Aww, I'd forgotten that Nathan Fillion was on there too!
