Final epys of '08!
Full week before Christmas Break. I got a cold, that's why I'm late. Ugh, flu on summer... C'MON!!!
HIMYM - Ah, the mall...
Best - joke - of - the - night.
Wasn't too crazy about the sister, though. She's not a very likeble character. Of course, Barney's Christmas (and Hanuka) Carrols were wonderful, but other than that that plot was just "okay". I'd never trust my sister if she ever sold my sofa and my TV. Of course, there wouldn't be much of a sister left to trust, because mom would snap her head off. What I mean is that Heather looks irresponsible and hardly tries to prove she's not. Give it time, Heather, don't just flip out and pretend to have sex with Barney. I mean, you will have sex with Barney eventually if you come back, that's obvious, but in the meantime, act like a grown up.
Little Minessota X Canada was way better. Canadians are affraid of the dark? LOL In Brasil, we say the portugueses are dumb - and in Portugal, I heard they say brazilians are dumb. Not the too many post-its remark - WTF?! And again, Marshall singing... cracked me up! I miss Robin Pop Star.
CM - Not Christmas-Like
Mitch Pileggi kicked Jason Alexender's ass, I must say. Best unsub I've ever seen, best and most consistent serial killer chase and profiling. And the end was a total surprise for me, for once. Normally, I see the very final twist comming, and this one I didn't, I couldn't be sure if everybody was dead already, because it was so well written. And acted.
Now, Jordan, she's human. She's smart and funny, and competent, and I don't really see why she was so shaken up by that - even though, I don't think it's an easy thing to see, a whole family shot in their sleep. I don't get why she has to blame herself and loose her control like that (but I mus say, she's way better uncontrolled than that SSA from season three that couldn't do much but panic at the sight of a corpse), but I don't mind she did. Maybe if I cared more for her, it would've been better, but we all know she's not going to stay, so she needed a reason to go. Now she's going, I'm not sure she's gonna come back for the next few episodes, but probably yes. She still has to sleep with Morgan, right? Even though, I'm always ignoring spoilers and believing she'll be sleeping with Hotch! C'mon! They're UST all over!!
I know some poeple root for Hotch and JJ - they were joyful this week, weren't they? I like them better as friends, but that was, either way, a cute scene. I miss JJ, can't wait for her to come back.
That was a heavy episode, if you ask me, not a Christmas Epy for sure, and JJ brought over the baby for a reason - to ease us into the holiday and end the year with some happiness. Still, that, for me, was the best '08 final episode, really. Can't wait for '09.
WAT - Seriously? Well, not really...
Okay, firsth is funny. And then it was serious. And then funny. And then got serious. And they tried to be funny again - but they were just boring. Then they tried to be serious - and it sounded stupid. Then the final scene came and I cracked up.
My least favorite MP of the season so far. Guy was just silly, and you never know when he was cute and bad, he sounded more like bipolar/boring to me. Of course, the very end was kinda (**girlish comment comming**) "awww". But up to that moment, I didn't even get the whole plot straight, it went round and round and got nowhere. Other then the Civil War scenes, it wasn't funny.
Buuuuuut...
Team interactiong was perfect. Seriously. For starters, J/S was there a bit, but not enough to piss the Smarties off. And even though we had no D/M, this time D/E didn't annoy me. I liked the nice chat between them, talking about who was a geek and who was meany - if Elena was geekish with bad hair and bad skin and she turned out like that, well, yay me!! Really, in moments like that, I feel almost sorry they can't hold the chemistry for longer then a couple episodes per season.
ALP has such a great timing for comedy, I'd love ot see him in a sitcom when WAT is over. That end made me laugh like "That's Amore Moment". And Danny was sweet, even the love sick puppy eyes looked like genuine love this time - and I'm not surprised to know he was a bully(ish). And Martin had his funny moments too, didn't he? "Maybe she is really hot" (Viv's response was perfect - typical guy...), and "lemme take this pointy thing out of your reach", I could overlook that wierd tie. It matched the suit, but it looked so colorful!
BTW, has Lucy been paired with Martin a lot lately or what? Maybe she turns out to be his love interest? I'd like that.
I like Lucy. I actually like her just as much as I used to like Mac.
Not the best episode for a hiatus, but it was fun.
LJ people, I say goodbye now and rush myself to Christmas shopping.
