Setting aside the nitpicking over the phrasing/Jedi theology, oh how my Q/O tragedy-loving heart thumps at this section from the Phantom Menace novelization's Naboo water caverns scene:

Qui-Gon understood [Obi-Wan's] attachment and shared it. Obi-Wan was the son he would nevr have. He was the future he would leave behind when he died. His hopes for Obi-Wan were enormous, but he did not always share his student's beliefs.

"Be patient with me, Obi-Wan," he replied softly.

I should like to note that, during this bit, Jar-Jar is actually piloting the ship. Obi-Wan has just lost an internal battle not to ask Qui-Gon keep on "dragging these pathetic life forms along with us when they are of so little use," and he is sorta blushing from Qui-Gon's reprimand when he does, and he is kneeling next to Qui-Gon in that tiny little back of the craft.

No! No, I haven't, although I hear that I really should since I have this massive, unreasoning crush on the characters that he tends to do these days. It's on my Netflix queue for when it comes out. Oh, Ducard. <333333333333

Somebody mentione dto me that Kinsey is something to watch if you have trouble writing Qui-Gon in bed/in romantic relationships, and I can see how it's true. The character is sort of like Qui-Gon in a lot of ways, and oh, this scene I am watching where Kinsey and his wife are arguing about social convention! How Kinsey is all about truth and teaching, and how there is this SCENE where he's like :/ but it's social convention :/ conventions are bad and his wife is like :// sometimes, conventions are there to keep us from hurting each other.

Sorry about the, um, random spurt of Kinsey-love. I'm just, uh, slow with getting onto movies?
