The True Story of Luke Rattigan (with pictures)

[girlofprey]

There are 4 cinemas in my town, that I know of. The biggest one, Cineworld, had an exclusive preview screening of Batman: The Dark Knight tonight, unlike any other in town. They were also charging £12.50 for this screening (with a free poster!), which I wasn't entirely down with. When I decided today that I wanted to see it anyway, it turned out they'd sold out of all but the front row, which means you have to crane your neck to an unfortunate angle apparently. So I'm going to see one of the previews tomorrow.

Thusly, just in case I am obsessed with it, I wanted to do this now. That's right, Luke Rattigan picspam. You've been warned.





This is Luke Rattigan. He runs his own academy. And dresses his dudes in orange. I assume just because he can.




Isn't he pretty? He's got a visitor, to his slight distaste.






Look at his slidey eyes. I love him so much.




You'd attend his academy, wouldn't you? Given the choice.




Ten annoys Luke. MY SYMPATHIES, Luke.


However! Ten walks into his laboratory/work room and understands what he's doing, causing him to do this:





















I LOVE HIM.




Like any sane person, Luke froths with rage when people correct his grammar. And hates Ten.




IT'S A TAUTOLOGY, DAMNIT!




I love how he gets ugly with rage. I know he's not the most handsome man in the whole world, and probably it's something pretty much every actor can do, but I do like it. It seems like a mark of Decent Acting.



He's still right, though. Oh, I love him.


Anyway. Ten, on the other hand, seems pretty clear how he feels about Luke.









"I'm just going to tower over you for a moment."



"Hey baby, these Sontarans boring you? Wanna see my time machine?"

And Luke is all "What? I have space boyfriends already, kthx."







"See?"




"I'm rescuing you, you were in great peril."
"I don't think I was."
"Yes you were, you were in terrible peril."
"Look, let me go back there and face the peril."
"No, it's too perilous."




"Next time, baby."


TRUE FACTS.

Possibly coming up: It's A Tautology Damnit!, Part 2!

ETA: The pictures are bizarrely small in the post. That will teach me to do it the quick 'Insert Image' way. Anyway, if you're interested, you can click on the pictures to go to the bigger, prettier versions. x

OH GOD, HE IS REALLY ATTRACTIVE. I love his watery eyes in the first pic, and his beautiful-but-not-TOO-beautiful mouth, and his hatred of Ten. I hate Ten too. But I am kind of sad that this hatred caused me to miss Luke Rattigan. HE IS VERY, VERY GOOD LOOKING.

HE IS EVIL. I feel I should state that. Although you may have guessed that by his not loving Ten. He has space boyfriends though, and does it in a slightly stupid 18 year-old sort of way. But ISN'T HE, THOUGH? I love his eyes. I love him so much. He starts out by getting his dudes to throw an investigating reporter down the stairs (a short flight of stairs), and then tells her that if she goes to print, to remember it's Rattigan, with two ts. I love him. He's in another thing as well with Nicholas Lyndhurst, where he plays a wide-eyed, quite well-spoken sixteen year-old. He's quite great. I can't believe they didn't keep Luke on as a recurring character. He's one of the reasons it's occasionally worth it to watch New Who. OH.
