(no subject)
First off, and I have to say it: RIP, Rob Guest. For those unaware, he's the Wizard in our Wicked and was also the longest-running Phantom (of the Opera, obv) in the world. He had a massive stroke on Tuesday night and passed away this morning, and it's just shattering. He was only performing in Wicked on the weekend and now he's suddenly gone.
And this seems like a pretty bad week all 'round; there are a bunch of you who have had some bad/sad news this week and I just want you know that I'm thinking of you, okay? ♥
OKAY, POSITIVE SPARKLES OF FANDOM TIME NAO?
I adore Packed to the Rafters. I just wanna squish everybody. Plus, they get serious brownie points for using Love Me Like The World Is Ending by Ben Lee (fantastic song, fyi) and make the characters watch City Homicide which I get giggly about because, hi, cross-fandom (well, cheap Channel 7 cross-promotion, but whatever).
"Don't get used to it." It turns out that Sara Tancredi with a twang can be something like adorable. Who would've thought? (Okay, so it was SWC's doing, but still.)
FULL TWO MINUTE AUSTRALIA TRAILER. WITH SCENES WE'VE NEVER SEEN BEFORE. AND DIALOGUE. That score almost made me cry. Seriously, everyone: watch it. And they had a flash of David Wenham! (I love him and have been a bit peeved that they only showed Hugh and Nicole before.) November23rdcomenowpleeeease. And I'm gleeful that Hugh said "Austraya". Because who can honestly be bothered putting an L in there?
Was it just me, or did anyone else think the Grey's premiere was kind of... boring? They really do need Dr McSwimmy to jazz it up.
Tina's supposedly been offered $6 million to publish a "nonfiction humour book" (PopSugar's words, not mine). WTF does that even mean? OH WELL I DON'T REALLY CARE TBH. It could be a book about how to wash a dog and it would still be fan-bloody-tastic. And I would buy myself two copies - one to read over and over until the spine cracks, and one to keep in pristine condition. And I might contact the cover, just like my exercise books back in primary school (oh c'mon, I can't be the only one who did that, surely?). And then possibly build a shrine for it.
And then a little show called Private Practice came back today.
Private Practice, 2x01, "A Family Thing"
1. "We're a brand, like a perfume. 'Symptoms: Fragrance for Men'." (I'd put it on my shelf next to Enormé, the other make belief fragrance.) THEY CUT DELL. HOW DARE THEY CUT DELL?
2. THEY GO AWAY EVERY YEAR. OH DEAR GOD IF THAT DOESN'T SCREAM 'FIC' I DON'T KNOW WHAT DOES.
3. "I tell Violet everything. She's like my sister, she's like my hot sister." I'm torn. Should I coo over the fact that he described her as hot straight to Charlotte's face, or be concerned that he likened her to a sister? Because then it means his love is either incestuous or is fading in the background. NEITHER OF WHICH I LIKE. (Still, the glass desk thing was kinda pretty hot.) Oh, I'm sure the comment was intended to be in the best way possible.
4. "Patient. I will see her now." Hee. Also, how much have I missed gazing at Addie's hair? Read: quite a lot, actually.
5. Oh, Sam still walks his tiny dog along the beach. That makes me happy.
6. "You guys are so mature." "Oh yeah? You mentioned a fist fight." "That's true." Which brings up the all-important question: who would win in a fist fight between Addison and Naomi? I'm voting on Naomi if she's angry. And she got angry over a boy baking cakes at her.
7. Okay, small bit of confusion over continuity. Because I'm a little too focussed on all things Cooper and Violet, but you knew that. So, she figures out he has a girlfriend last season (although he doesn't want to admit to it) and suddenly now she asks him if he's got a woman? I just feel like we're missing an in-between conversation where he tells her there isn't anyone. Which we probably are which we're meant to accept because TV's like that. But... you know? Sigh. It's not really important, but it was on my mind.
8. Probably not a great moment for Cooper!squeeing, but his displeased, sulky face after Charlotte said "this isn't serious" was adorable.
It was begging to be done.
9. I was momentarily depressed when Addie was in the OR (which felt like home, man) and Alex wasn't there to help.
10. a) OH, VI'S LOOK OF REALISATION. Oh boy.
b) "You know the truth? I'm trying to remember what I did before Cooper got a life. It's ridiculous. He used to need me; now I need him." Poke me with a stick, someone, because I'm curled up on the floor.
11. "Can we just be us again?" Audra, Audra, Audra. Please stop killing me.
OH, SHOW, YOU ARE BACK IN ALL YOUR ANGSTY-YET-STILL-CUTE MISHAP GLORY.
I'm off to get some ice cream. Who knew posting could be so tiring?
