Recap - September 9, 2009
Hello, hello! ^_^
Okay. I had so much fun with today's episode! Not gonna lie. I think it's partly because I found so much enjoyment in Mason's silly accident. ^_^
Okay, let's start with Paul and Emily. Gah. Okay. They are definitely growing on me. Paul is now lingering somewhere in between StupidPaul and AmnesiacPaul, where he's not completely deplorable like StupidPaul, and not as totally fun and funny as AmnesiacPaul, but instead, he's a nice mix of both. I'm glad he has straightened things out regarding Eliza. She was super cute and he was cuper cute with her today. (And Roger's hair color! I'm liking it a lot a lot!)
Okay. Now Meg. You know, I actually felt bad for her. I totally expected her to go all Jealous!Rage!Meg when Damian said he didn't want to leave with her to pick up Eliza, but she didn't! Go Meg. I did feel sorry for her when she looked back into Lily's house and saw Damian and Lily comforting Ethan, though. She should be getting more of Damian's attention, but I also understand why he's doing what he's doing for Lily and her family. I would not want to be in either one of their positions!
Okay, now Mason, Luke, and Noah. ^_^ AHAHAHA Mason. That accident still makes me laugh. I like how calm Luke was towards Mason today. Luke showed no animosity, which I liked. In fact, Luke was very sweet today, considering the circumstances. So now we know that Mason is developing a thing for Noah, and I have to say, I'm liking how it's being built so far. Mason, so far, is taking this all in like an adult. He's not doing anything hasty or brash. It kinda feels like he's noticing how he's feeling about Noah, but taking it all in stride and seeing where it leads him eventually. Not like Luke and Noah, who were basically like, "I'm gay." - "Well, I'm not..." - "Let's make out!" - "Okay!" when they met. ^_^
AND JAKE! I KNEW I COULD COUNT ON YOU! *Kisses him on cheek* Did it seem today like "both men were clearly affected" at the hospital? Nope! Not to me. It looked like Mason was affected, but Noah was totally oblivious. So screw you, spoilers. I'm taking Jake's word as gold from now on! And I have to say, Dear Noah, I love you, because taking that shirt off Mason was so adorably (yet understated-ly) awkward. I loves me some Awkward Noah! ^_^
And not to make light of the situation (even though...y'know, Holden's NOT DEAD) but the Snyder family gathering around the tree and holding hands so reminded me of the Whos in Whoville. You know, Dr. Seuss/The Grinch Who Stole Christmas...? Yeah. I half-expected the Snyders to break out into song. ^_^ And then maybe carve out a roast beast back at Emma's. ^_^
I also had a funny vision of Faith kicking Damian in the crotch when he was holding Ethan and then running off in a terrific hissyfit. Man...if only I could write this soap! Haha. It's probably a good thing I can't.
And again, Honey and I have done it before, but I'm giving a nice loud SQUEE to Damian and little kids! GAH! He was adorable with Eliza before, and today he was wonderful with Ethan. So sweet! Of course, I'd like it better if it were baby Luke in his arms, but I'll take what I can get! It really shows another side of Damian, that innate fatherly side that we didn't get to see with him and Luke. HEE.
AAAAAND, while we're on the topic, we got to see Brother!Luke with Faith today and Future!Daddy!Luke-ness with Ethan and the shovel! HEEEEEEEE. I LOVE both of those types of Luke! I'd really like to see more scenes with Luke/Noah and Luke's siblings. I thought his talk with Faith was really nice today. I love that she listened to him explain why he needed Damian and that she put her feelings (somewhat) aside for him. Snyder siblings rule! ^_^
And the Holden and Maeve thing. Poor Maeve. Who thinks she might end up helping Holden out of there but then completely flipping out when she realizes that Holden's not in love with her? She seemed to cross the line today, and if Holden's face at the end of the episode was any indication, things are getting complicated now. Holden's going to have to tread very carefully from now on, I feel. But hey! I'm also up for a gun-slinging Jack to come in and shoot up the place to free Holden. I wouldn't mind some more Ebb-head shovel-bashing (God, that sounds horrible). But domestic violence = BAD, Ebb! Don't hit girls! Grrr.
Also, final two notes of the day: 1) Why didn't Luke get to talk longer when speaking about Holden?! He didn't get to say anything at the funeral and today we only get a few words?! Booooooo! And 2) Why didn't Noah get to say anything at all?! Dammit. I wanted to hear him say something nice about Holden. Geez.
And previews? Oh, Lord. Audrey and Barbara continue to prove that they are the two most ridiculous, petty mothers on this show. Fighting each other over James' coffin? Really?! Somebody get me a fork, I'd like to stab my eyes out, please. That would be more entertaining, at least! Man.
Anywho (AHAHAHA "who", get it? Anybody else have the tune of "Welcome, Christmas" stuck in their head now?), I fully enjoyed today's episode! Fun fun, but too short. Nuke needs to have entire episodes devoted to them! Too much Nuke is not enough! ^_^
