in the jungle, the mighty jungle, the lion sleeps tonight
Internet, you are a rat bastard. It is now 1:30AM. That is wrong. So many shades of wrong.
"IT'S NOT A DATE, BOLLY." YEAH EXCEPT FOR THE PART WHERE SHE SORT OF THINKS IT MIGHT BE.
You guys. She actually (a) initiated early morning drinking; (b) asked him if he put a creepy rose on her desk. SHE ACTUALLY ASKED HIM. BECAUSE YEAH, OKAY, ALEX DRAKE, GENE WAS HAPPY YOU'RE ALIVE SO HE PUT A ROSE ON YOUR DESK. I see what you did there.
(Seriously. Have sex. No... really.)
Other things:
- IT ACTUALLY ENDED WITH ELTON JOHN. THE LION SLEEPS TONIGHT. BECAUSE GENE IS A LION AND IS BEING TRANSFERED FOR NOT PLAYING BALL WITH SUPERMAC AND WHICH IS A METAPHOR FOR SLEEPING. Oh, I LOLed. I LOLed really hard. Of course Gene won't actually be transfered! Pfft. But whatever, show. Let's run with it.
- So, I just telling... um, myself, that it would be really great, and really sort of cliche in a sort of great way if "Eye of the Tiger" managed to show up in the musical rotation this season. (I blame those adorable P.S. 22 kids!) GUESS WHAT YOU GUYS. IT DID. (Not quite as ajfhasjfhkajsfhawesome as the lights going out to Phil Collins last week [seriously, though what is?!] , BUT YEAH.)
- I don't even know why, but Chris saying "Guv! Ma'am!" in the same breath was like, SO SINCE WHEN DO THEY CO-RUN THIS UNIT LIKE THEY ARE MARRIED OR WHATEVER. (What! Who said that?)
- Here, I'll say it: THAT PREVIEW JESUS CHRIST. Look, I don't like being manipulated. I DON'T LIKE BEING MANIPULATED IN THE GENE AND ALEX AT LEAST VAGUELY DISCUSS HAVE SEX WITH EACH OTHER DEPARTMENT. Also: Jackie Queen, wtf, why are you here and pregnant. WHY IS THE GUV PROPOSING HYPOTHETICAL MARRIAGE.
I cannot deal. I cannot. Guys, I both loved and hated that preview, and no, okay, I didn't hate it because of babies (clearly). I hated it because of manipulation. Uh, d'uh. Uh. Also. OTHER THINGS. Yes.
(I will love it only if Gene spends his going-away party having sex with Alex. THERE, I SAID IT. ITS OUT THERE. Okay.)
Actually, uh, things to ponder: WOULD SAM HAVE EVEN KNOWN TO MENTION JACKIE? I mean, uh, really. Would he? I'M JUST SAYING.
"And then we got held hostage! And Gene was saved from being shot to death by a magically positioned flask!"
Actually, wait, maybe he would have mentioned that.
edit: Oh, God, let's not even get into Alex talking about her daughter and NO ONE NOTICES. NOT EVEN GENE. Unless he thought she was playing Filch creepy vegan guy. EVEN STILL. "She's at a birthday party." YOU GUYS. I have to rewatch, but I could have sworn that Alex calling her "Molls" was directly bookended by Gene calling Alex "Bolls." GUYS. GUYS. GUYS. UNLESS I'M MAKING IT UP - WHICH YOU KNOW, POSSIBLE - GUYS. Guys.
Guys.
Next week, you guys. NEXT WEEK. Between all the collective TV shows that are having their concluding episodes, between them and this? Expect my death. I AM NOT EXAGGERATING IN THIS DEPARTMENT, OKAY?
