Star Trek: Outdoorsy

My entry for this month's competition word "Outdoorsy"

"And one - two - three... what are you giggeling at, ensigns?"
"Nothing, just enjoying the view!"

(I keep seeing people in the local park doing their sports outside so I got this idea)

Would there be smell when we are outdoors? It's not a small sticky room... there I agree with you!

It's really funny how a guy working out being sweaty and panting is considered hot on TV (I'm guilty of that myself ;) ), but only since we have not the smell going with it!

The smell wouldn't be a big problem outdoors, you're right. As lons as you keep some distance.

The same thing is with smoking on tv. I can't think it's sexy because I always imagine the smell, and it's ruined. And I know they use fake cigarettes on sets, but I can't stop myself from talking to the actor: put it down, it's bad for you and the audience needs you to stay healthy!

Then you should not watch "Des" the new series with David Tennant I mentioned recently. Since it was set in the late Seventies and early Eighties, everyone was smoking. All the time. And since he was such a bad guy, I can't even find it sexy if I wanted to!

You don't realize what a big part of life it was until you see it in either old movies or movies that are set in the past.

I always wonder how actors who don't smoke in real life do it. I know it's not real cigarettes but still? David also smoked in his role as trainer of Manchester United.

Also, I have quite a collection of screencaps of my new guy Robert Beltran. Whenever he plays a bad guy, he smokes so we know he is a bad guy LOL

Do you remember "Mad to be normal" with David? It was was endless smoking. I survived this, so smoking in "Des" wasn't that big problem.

Oh yes. I'm always like "why does he smoke in the office? Why nobody asks if it's okay to smoke? Why does a pregnant woman smoke?" until I realize it was like that those days. The same goes with alcohol.

David said once his first job was in anti-smoking commercial. He was about fifteen and was supposed to be "the bad guy" and smoke, but he never smoked a cigarette before, so he just stood there with a cigarette in his hand and said his lines, and hoped no one noticed he didn't actually smoke :D I think he learned to fake it since then :)

He also was supposed to smoke in "Blackpool" (have you seen it?), but he said he'd rather eat than smoke, so that's why he's eating something in almost every scene. I'd say eating can be more sexy than smoking, and some scenes when he eats are just funny.

Whenever he plays a bad guy, he smokes so we know he is a bad guy
That's good thinking! And nobody is confused :D Imagine a plot twist: the character seems good, but suddenly he puts a cigarette in his mouth and a minute later it's revealed he's a bad guy after all!
