I just had to make this thread, it's time to chog about the world's hottest geekman What is everybody's fav Marshall moment as of yet? I loved the scene from the Pilot where Stan asks him why he's in the office and he says, 'I work here, Stan', he just has brilliant comedic timing. And his, 'It how we do, G' was a CLASSIC I'm also considering starting a petition that states that Fred Weller should be made to remove his shirt on In Plain Sight Lmao, aaaah, he so should though, really...*whistles*

Mine is definitely when Mary's yelling at him about leaving the program and asks "When were you going to tell me?" And he says something like "Actually, I was going to mail it to myself so you could read it."

I like the fact that he can keep a staright face he he comes back with his interesting remarks. Have any of you been doing the games where Marshall talks to you? He is so funny. I have no favorite esp. because I like them all.

AKA: Marshal your favorite Mann-erisms? He's the Mann? Speak, minions of the mellifluous Marshman?
I just love his name. Irony makes me giggle when it's just the intro to witty sarcasm.

My favourite line though: 'despite my athletic prowress and eagerness to please you I cannot outrun a horse.' Great delivery. Perfect example of post-excitement dry wit.

My favourite moment... I have to say the PJs. The PJ most definately, from a fangirl perspective. But from a slightly more mature viewpoint, the scene from the same episode where Mary gets back to the hotel late after visiting bad-daddy. I think it did a lovely job of foreshadowing their relationship, what with the personal situation yet professional context.

I havent got a favorite Marshallism yet...but I do love his dry humor...the scene at the stables with him saying I cant outrun a horse...funny!

I do hope that they dont change him one bit...love him

The episode of CI where Fred was a stablehand was in was on today. I didn't know who he was at the time so I hadn't realized it was him 'til then, and now that line is even funnier!

Another super-sweet line: "Do I look like a hero?" Saying it all like he's a little bit hoping she'll say yes. Or at least snark him out, which is nearly as good.

I'm new so I'm just gonna jump right in the Marshall Mann love pool.

I enjoy basically every single scene he's in...even when he doesn't have an dialogue, he's still funny with his face mannerisms. Plus the tall, gorgeousness factor brightens up the whole screen...

My favorite line so far has got to be the can't outrun a horse line and right after Mary sticks the tube in his chest he comes back and says "Better", just the way he says that makes me giggle.

I also enjoy his jeans and belt buckle!

I will sign your shirtless petition too!

Hi Everyone!
I'm a big fan of Marshall Mann (Frederick Weller...mm good!!). I think my favorite MM moment was when he was shooting at the people who shot him...guns a blazin' even though he was shot. What a man!!

Last night's Marshmallow goodness just killed me, never has a sling look so damn tasty. Jesus. I want him to have it on next week but I know he won't *weeps*

"I know my own wood,' *looks at Mary* 'DON'T!' was sooooo damn funny. God I even found him mooching across the floor on his wheely chair cute, and then to top it off he delivered pie. I swear if he gets any cuter I am going to try and adopt him.

"Make love to me, Marshall" and his reaction was priceless, he's like, 'Crap, crap, crap, MOVE!' and runs off lol. Bless.

And the porn star tasche, total win. More of the same please IPS people.

I enjoy Marshall, the way he is. He is witty, delightful, clever, strong and can kick a$$.
He's hot too.

Did we ever figure out if it was Mary and Marshall up against the wall in the hotel room? You know in the previews before the series really started. It's annoying me.

"These are my mambo pants!"

Nah uh, it wasn't. BOO HISS!

I guess it's too early for that, anyway.

Anyway, I loved Marshall's wood expertise last night. It's not poplar! It's cottonwood!

Me too, the guy sure knows his wood. I had to, I just had to.

Haha... I'm intrigued that he grew up playing with cottonwood. Huh.

I want to desperately like him then I remember mr monk and the private eye and the hatred returns lol.

J/K seriously he is pretty funny on the show.

I have liked Marshall since the first episode. He is a unique character, but also a character that is easy to relate to. He comes across as a person that would be very approachable and I LOVE that he has so much knowledge and he often surprises people with his knowledge. Also, he has an absolutely ADORABLE smile!!

Hi everyone, I'm new at this too. Loved the mambo pants line and the dancing with Stan. That cracked me up. I don't know how they kept straight faces during that scene!

At least we can still dream, and forever write hot little ficcies referencing this communal moment of undnerstandable misidentification.

Marshall's always been a lovely character, but I actually fell in love with him during the pie-eating ramble on morality. Because who, out of nowhere, feels the need to compose an impromptu thesis? And especially, who does this while also being a bona fide bad ass lawman? Mary might never appreciate most of the things he says, but her deadpan default encouragements are the perfect foil for his gregarious tendencies.

One of my favorite Marshall-scenes is where Mary is dressed in that world-look-at-me-I’m-a-slut outfit that Sis concocted for her. The expression on Marshall's face, while he sitting in the SUV at eye-level with Mary’s prominently displayed assets and desperately trying to talk business and NOT LOOK, is hilarious.

My favorite Marshall-quote is also the (very popular, it seems) “out run a horse” comment

Because I don't have to bring it up, could someone explain that whole weird 'I've forgotten my lines and someone is feeding them to me' Marshall speech to me? I know he's always got that whole 'breathe and talk on exhale' thing going on, and normally I think it's endearing, but the whole scene in the car has always been very confusing for me. It's just so awkwardly spoken for so long.

The 'dun dun dun' moment is also a very nice one in my book, even though I really don't know how to spell it. What with the perfect inflection out of gravelly voice, and him all looking around for danger despite the sucking chest wound.

I just adore Marshall! I also love the "outrun a horse" line. He's so cute when he's saying it with his hair all messed up! Trojan Horst was definitely the best episode so far. Lots of great moments in that one. I just wish they had mentioned it a tad more in the next episode. I mean, they ended Horst with Marshall on the verge of death in the hospital and the next episode all anyone said about it was Mary making a comment about how he was standing upright and not dead with a matching sling (qoute went something like that).

I'm not sure, but I think the scene in question (the one in the car with Mary in her slut outfit) was meant to be read as 'pained'. Kind of like when he leaned over and rested his hands on his thighs during Mary's "Harry met Sally" moment in the Pilot. Apparently, an unexpected reaction to Mary acting or looking sexy is painful to Marshall

Dunno why - his pants aren't *that* tight.

Okay aside from all the others mentioned, I like when Bobby D comes back w/ the bad guy roped and on the horse and Marshall says something like "Why does he get a lasso?" LOL i loved that. Ahh, Marshall is such a great character. And the latest episode with him showing Mary the texts from his old TA and he says "She scares me". Ahhh, i love him!

Geeks are sexy. That's why I'm with one.

Geeks that speak French, wear grubby wifebeaters and know how to work "shuttlecock" into conversation are sexy

I had a dream last night that Marshall took his shirt off, needless to say I was rather disapointed when I woke up lmao Me? Pervert? Get out!

of course you would start this thread. wtf can i say about marshy i haven't said already UNGH. love him. he MAKES the show.

If you want to see much more than you ever wanted of Fred Weller, go to his IMDB page, and check on naked pics under message board. I honestly can say that I didn't need that much information.

Also, I'm fascinated about what Marshall's family might be like. Five generations of marshals. I am picturing Dad as a bigwig in the Marshal service. I am imagining Marshall struggling with Dad's high expectations of him...And mom plays mediator...And there's a younger brother, also in the service, leapfrogging over Marshall. This is what I imagine with Marshall's family. I would love to see TPTB develop his backstory.

sheila

He is totally the breakout star on this show...although Mary McCormick rocks too.

Oh, and I'm writing a Marshall focused fic.

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4376543/1/Blindspot

I think it's pretty good. I've got three chapters posted, and I am writing about three chapters ahead.

sheila

You love it! *pokes in ribs* Hardy har har.

And ooooh yeah, we've seen the pics...no comment *whistles* I too would like more Marshmallow backstory, I wanna know where his geekiness came from.

I like the story-hate that I have to wait to Wednesday to find out what happens next and I have been wanting to tell you how much I like it but don't want to sign up for one more thing to keep track of.
Thanks, Karen

I am amazed that you all can pick just one of his lines as a favorite. I couldn't possibly pick just one and I love the fact that Marhsall isn't written as spineless for Mary to run roughshod over. I liked his take charge conversation in WSJA as he was getting off the elevator and even more so in last night's ep.

This is the first USA Network show I have been ga-ga over since La Femme Nikita ended. Now if only they will do a marathon with all the eps thus far so I can capture the two I didn't get but was able to watch at my friends and on the website.

How awesome was Marshmallow in ep7? I mean he was really bloody awesome. All awwwwh and sensitive over the little things and then all rawr and macho with the annoying father. Loved him in this ep. And how he didn't seem to be bothered that the "stewardess" hit on him was hilarious. Now all he needs to do is lose his shirt...

I'm behind in my viewing due to vacation. I just watched the episode you're referencing and I agree completely. He is friggin edible no question about it. The whole bit about 'wood' had me laughing and the scene from the pilot I believe where Mary was pretending to have an orgasm and he just has to stand there and take it....Oh damn that cracks me up just thinking about it. I know nothing about Fred Weller up until this point but I love his timing as Mann and I think he is very well cast opposite Mary. I loved their conversation in "Trojan Horst" about being friends and all of the reasons why he should stay/leave the agency.

Now I'm very curious about the latest episode but I have one in between to watch.

Marshmallow? Uh...are we referring to a gooey center? Somehow the nick just isn't working for me. Must watch more. Oh the hardships!

Thanks for liking it, Karen. The last chapter goes up on Friday.


Sheila

Lol I wasn't thinking about it to mean anything, just a funny name for him. *shrugs* I'm wierd and I do stuff like that lol.

Another thing I liked about him in ep7 was the way he held his own against Mary (finally!) I'm talkin' 'bout the scene where the idiot father runs off and he just has a bit of a hissy fit and tells Mary 'Don't' Gah I loved the way he said that.

I really need to catch up on my viewing. I'm still stuck back and drooling over him in "Who Shot Jay Arnstein" How the hell does a man make a sling look sexy! I do love the fact that Marshall is more subtle but no less willful in his approach to any situation vs Mary's damn the torpedos philosophy. They are two equal sides of a coin in many respects.

I really don't know. It's one of those unanswered questions, it's up there with 'What is the meaning of life?' etc I thought it was because it was coupled with the suit but I was wrong, I never ever wanted him to take it off. However, we really need to bribe Fred into taking his shirt off!

I love, love, love Marshall! IMHO, the guy doesn't get enough screen time. It isn't just his wit (which is so incredibly clever), his brains (love the intellect!) or the dry delivery (makes everything even funnier)... it's the whole package.

The "outrun a horse" line was great! But so was his little speech about immoral decisions made under the threat of mortal peril. Something like "An immoral decision made under the threat of mortal peril is still immoral. Understandable, yes. Forgivable, perhaps. But still immoral." Great stuff!

I love the way he knows multiple languages, classical music, various bits of trivia... so much fun!

His character is the only one that I really like on the show. I like his intellectual repartee. In the last episode, I loved it when he went off on that arrogant, narcissistic doctor.

Oh I know! I got goosebumps just watching that episode... It was a different side of Marshall that we NEVER see!
