i have a cognitive problem with my silent Ws. it's weird, i don't have any trouble wuh-riting them.
1. UHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH SO LAST NIGHT AT TRIVIA WE TOTALLY DOMINATED? It was me and Kate and Kate's old man boyf, who is old but also CAN STAY because he rounded out things super nicely and talked just the right amount. AND WE KICKED EVERYONE'S ASS! AT NO POINT WERE WE NOT IN THE LEAD! SUCK IT, EVERYONE ELSE AT TRIVIA! Going into the final round we had a 17-point lead, which narrowed to a 14-point lead by the very end because we didn't know the answer to either final question, BUT IT OBVIOUSLY DIDN'T ANSWER. [After debating Windex vs. Sharpies for like two minutes on the last question, we ultimately said FUCK IT and wrote "zebras" because there was no way for us to be anything but first. THE ANSWER WAS PREGNANCY TESTS FYI.] YEAH FOR BEING THE ONLY PERSON IN THE ROOM WHO KNEW THAT THE FAKE MUSICAL IN SMASH IS ABOUT MARILYN MONROE! ALL THE PILOTS WAS GOOD FOR SOMETHING, FINALLY!
2. Lizzie Bennet Diaries - okay, I know they needed a way to work the hot tub awkwardness in there and that the WHOLE POINT of the WHOLE VIDEO was constant awkwardness, but like...has Lizzie literally never encountered rich people, like is the ENTIRE SERIES actually something I hallucinated and this was her first time ever interacting with Bing or Gigi? Because that is the only way I can explain everyone's TOTAL INABILITY TO HANDLE THAT AWKWARDNESS OVER THE FACT THAT LIZZIE'S FAMILY DOESN'T HAVE A HOUSE IN TAHOE OR A HOUSE IN ASPEN. Look, guys, I don't want to brag or anything, but I BASICALLY have a PhD in "conversations and quality time with people who have a) more money, b) a better education, or c) a more impressive career than I will ever have," which is not to say that I don't still have moments where I'm like WOW IS THAT A ROCK LET ME GO CRAWL UNDER IT NOW AND LIVE AMONG THE WEIRD PALE BUGS, but if they needed to make it uncomfortable, hinging on Lizzie not being able to respond to an unthinkingly-assumption-heavy question like a normal person probably wasn't the best way. I just think a better way of getting there - particularly if, as I've seen speculated, the ultimate goal here is amping up Lizzie's sense of "I could never belong here" before the Lydia hits the fan - would have been for Gigi and Bing to get carried away with having a conversation Lizzie couldn't relate to or contribute to.
3. WHO CARES ABOUT ANYTHING THOUGH I WATCHED TWO EPISODES OF HAWAII FIVE-0 AND THIS SHOW IS JUST AS NUTS AS ALWAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Okay so first in 313, Chin gets kidnapped by one of the lesser Baldwins, I guess because last season a DIFFERENT lesser Baldwin killed Malia [MALIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA] and then was going to kill Chin and Kono, so Chin killed the lesser Baldwin in self-defense, but then his brother wanted REVENGE, so he broke into Chin's house with some GOONS and drugged him AND WHEN CHIN WOKE UP HE WAS IN A PRISON CELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT WAS THE BEST THING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Obviously he goes right to a guard and is like "hello, I am police" and his FIRST clue that shit wasn't right probably should have been when the guard was like ABSOLUTELY SIR, RIGHT THIS WAY! Come on, Chin. Obviously that guard is bad news. AND HE IS! The guard leads Chin straight to some inmate who is MAYBE a dirty cop who Chin put away, I can't be expected to keep track of details, and that dude proceeds to beat the shit out of Chin in a laundry room, UNTIL SANG MIN SHOWS UP AND SAVES THE DAY! I FUCKING LOVE SANG MIN! HE'S THE BEST!
Meanwhile Kamekona is trying to get everyone on board with these nasty Spam-filled breakfast burritos he invented and they are NOT INTO IT. Kono's like "where's Chin?" and Steve's like "he texted me at midnight saying he was taking a few days off which is totally normal so I didn't think anything of it," and Danny's like "UH, THAT'S WEIRD, THAT IS A RED FLAG," but then Kono's like "oh wait, it's the eight year anniversary of his first date with Malia, I remember because it's just normal to remember that kind of thing about your cousin, so he is probably GRIEVING." And then they go back to their nasty burritos. Later Chin's grief counselor is like DUDE MISSED HIS APPOINTMENT SO PATIENT CONFIDENTIALITY GOES RIGHT OUT THE WINDOW and THEN they're like "ohhhh, he must be kidnapped!" SO THEY GET LOOKING.
BACK AT THE PRISON, Sang Min is like "look, you picked a guard at random and he turned out to be on the take, so WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR CHANCES ARE IF YOU TRY AGAIN?" Which is a good point but like, surely they could have come up with a better plan than "start a fire and tell the first responders, who are totally gonna be like 'yeah, tell me your life story, prison jumpsuit dude!' about it, that you're Five-0," but I guess not, because THEY START A FIRE, except then the dude who's after Chin starts a RIOT, and...it just seems very easy to take over a maximum security prison, is all. So now their only hope is to get to a phone! ...Why didn't they go for a phone before? I don't know. FIVE-0! But the phone's clear on the other side of the prison, and on the way they pick up Leilani, a nurse played by Josh Radnor AND Ted Mosby's ex-girlfriend Lindsay Price, after Chin saves her from a couple of ACTUAL prisoners, but then blah blah blah they get separated from her and Sang Min sells Chin out but continues trying to keep him alive because Sang Min PLAYS BOTH SIDES OF THE BOARD, but then the dude who wants Chin dead SHANKS HIM, like.........you've completely taken over the ENTIRE wing of the prison and the best you can do is still a shank? Okay. You do you, dude who's out for revenge!
Steve and the others have since figured out where Chin is, and they get to the prison and they're like SOMEONE GET CHIN OUT and the warden is like THERE'S KIND OF A RIOT GOING ON? LIKE HALF MY GUARDS ARE DEAD? [Nice going with that fire, Chin!] OBVIOUSLY I'M SORRY ABOUT YOUR FRIEND BUT REALISTICALLY WHAT DO YOU THINK WE CAN EVEN DO ABOUT IT? And Steve is like DON'T YOU FUCKING DARE USE A WORD LIKE "REALISTICALLY" AROUND ME and they all go back to Kamekona's and borrow his helicopter and then fly the helicopter into the prison riot and Steve, Danny, and Kono literally STORM THE PRISON with one gun each and a couple of smoke bombs, and they subdue hundreds of rioting prisoners no problem, and Chin chokes out the guy trying to kill him, and then they're like LET'S GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE and he's like I HAVE SOME PEOPLE TO RESCUE and Danny hilariously rolls his eyes like HOW MANY FRIENDS DID YOU MAKE IN HERE? while they get Leilani and try to rescue Sang Min, ONLY SANG MIN BROKE OUT SOMEHOW? IDK but good for him, I love that dude.
AND IN THE END CHIN IS RECUPERATING IN THE HOSPITAL AND EVERYONE VISITS HIM AND KAMEKONA BRINGS HIM A SPAM BURRITO AND LEILANI COMES TO THANK HIM FOR SAVING HER LIFE AND I WANT THEM TO PUT THEIR FACES TOGETHER.
OH ALSO I TOTALLY FORGOT, THERE WAS ALL THIS STUFF ABOUT HOW KONO'S EX-MOB BOYF MAYBE ISN'T SO EX- ANYMORE? But who cares. I am just outraged that Charlie the lab guy is still on the show and she STILL is not hitting that. And also my dl had hard-coded French subtitles, which SUCKED while he was having sketchy phone conversations in Japanese, because where I think there should have been English subtitles THERE WERE STILL FRENCH SUBTITLES!!!!!!!!!!!!! I HAD TO GOOGLE TRANSLATE THAT SHIT! But also this happened so it was okay:
AND THEN 314 WAS JUST NUTS? Like at no point did I actually have more than half an idea what was going on. I KEPT THINKING IT WAS GOING TO TURN OUT THAT THE CHIEF OF STAFF AND THE HOOKER WERE TWINS OR SOMETHING? I DON'T EVEN. IT WAS MASSIVELY CONFUSING ON ACCOUNT OF HOW I NEVER PAY ATTENTION. At one point I spent thirty seconds checking Tumblr and when I tabbed back to the episode Wo Fat was riding an ATV through the jungle with a hunting rifle, chasing a man like he was playing THE MOST DANGEROUS GAME or some shit.
Anyway, the more important thing about this episode is the whole DANNY IN FAMILY COURT AND STEVE SHOWING UP IN HIS DRESS BLUES [WHICH ARE BLACK] TO SUPPORT HIM thing, which was a SUPER LETDOWN? Like it was all right in the beginning of the episode, and the best parts were all in the preview video anyway. Don't get me wrong, it was GREAT when Danny was like I WROTE A SPEECH ABOUT HOW MUCH I LOVE MY DAUGHTER, IF I MAY, YOUR HONOR, and the judge was like OKAY LET ME GRAB SOME TISSUES AND A PILLOW TO SCREAM INTO - OKAY, YOU MAY PROCEED, and then his voice was all shaky and then he BALLED UP THE SPEECH AND THREW IT ASIDE and just started talking off the cuff, and that was all AMAZING, but then the judge interjected and was like YEAH, BUT ISN'T IT TRUE THAT YOU GOT SHOT IN FRONT OF YOUR DAUGHTER? Which, if she's referring to the Girl Scouts episode I watched, is TECHNICALLY TRUE, but the Girl Scouts just HAPPENED to encounter a violent criminal in the woods, THAT WAS NOT DANNY'S FAULT! HE SAVED EVERYONE AND KEPT THEM ALL CALM! HE WAS GREAT! THEN HE MADE IT UP TO GRACE BY TAKING HER CAMPING IN A TENT IN HIS LIVING ROOM! Shut up, Your Honor! So Steve is about to tell the judge not to talk to his husband like that and the judge is like COMMANDER MCGARRETT YOU'RE OUT OF ORDER, BUT I'M INTO IT, PROCEED, and Steve starts with a speech about how he's in love with Danny, but then his phone starts ringing, and it's the governor, and he IGNORES IT BECAUSE DANNY IS MORE IMPORTANT, but then he stops ignoring it and walks out of the courtroom mid-speech to answer it and then they're on the hooker murder for the rest of the episode and I was expecting Danny's whole CUSTODY BATTLE to be more of an ongoing thing in the episode but it totally wasn't. STEVE GOT MORE WO FAT ANGST THAN DANNY DID GRACE ANGST, WHICH IS DUMB.
But then at the end the judge called Danny and was like YOUR WIFE IS OUT OF LINE, I'M NOT LETTING HER TAKE GRACE TO VEGAS, VEGAS SUCKS, and Danny was like STEVE THANK YOU FOR HELPING TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN, and Steve stares at Danny lovingly and if the governor hadn't been there third wheeling it up they probably would have made out. THANKS FOR NOTHING, GOVERNOR!
I mean:
4. I know I just said yesterday that I've been underwhelmed by the post-holiday episodes of Go On, but tonight's episode was LEGITIMATELY PERFECT. WHEN THIS SHOW GETS IT RIGHT, IT IS THE BEST, BEST, BEST SHOW. I think I changed the subject line of this entry six or seven times while I was watching the episode, IT WAS PACKED FULL OF GEMS.
UHHHHHHHHHHHHHH PIPER PERABO WAS NUTBALLS GOOD AS SIMONE? I was not expecting that AT ALL, I'm so glad she's on for two more episodes. SHE COULD STAY FOREVER AND I'D PROBABLY BE FINE WITH IT.
CHARLIE BIT MY FINGER!!!!!!!!! THE SEACREST FACTOR!!!!!!!!!!
It really felt like everyone got their moment in this episode! Steven and Mr. K [BENJAMIN!!!!!!!!!] bonding weirdly was INSPIRED [ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh when they laughed at Carrie, I DIED, I DIED], and if every sports cameo were like Terrell Owens in this episode, I'd never mind them, he was GREAT and they actually fit him into the story instead of making him the story.
And DANNY AND SONYA and "no, Yolanda's the one we don't like" and Fausta wanting Ryan out of the group and mocking Lauren for hating Simone and RYAN REPEATEDLY BARGING INTO LAUREN'S YOGA CLASS, those two, ALWAYS THOSE TWO AND THEIR WEIRD BACK AND FORTH, and Fausta painting Owen naked, and Anne smashing up that dude's office to restore balance after Danny called her sweet, and also, just in general:
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. Nothing, NOTHING in this show ever gets me quit like Ryan and Anne grieving their wives, and FUCK did this episode deliver. "If she really loved me, she would have taken care of herself." JULIE WHITE IS THE BEST. THIS SHOW IS THE BEST. AM I CRYING OVER HOW ANNE FEELS SO DEVASTATED AND BETRAYED THAT SHE CAN'T SLEEP IN HER OWN BED, OR AM I LAUGHING ABOUT HOW GEORGE WANTS OWEN TO GET HIM SOME ECSTASY? OH, BOTH? APPARENTLY IT'S BOTH.
