Step Aside, NutMeg...Stepford Meg is Taking Over! - Today's Recap, 1/5/10
Okay, so...the boys were actually on our screen today! WA-HOO! However, their interaction kinda made me want to kick someone in the nuts. >_<
Let me say first: I do not hate Noah, nor will I ever. The only thing that could possibly turn me against him would be if he tried to kill Luke or something, and since we know that's never gonna happen, my love for him will never change.
But he is driving me up the fricking wall right now. I understand that his world is upside down and he's angry and the whole situation is complicated and all that, but really...how much longer is his anger going to last? Because it seems to me like he's using his initial anger about what happened to turn everything Luke says or does against him.
I mean, really...if Luke had forced him to sit down, shut up, finish his film, and submit it to the festival against his will, then I could see Luke trying to control Noah. But how was Luke finishing the film being controlling? I don't think it was a good idea, but he was trying to help, wasn't he?
Seriously...I would like to see Luke take a step back. Obviously Noah is not in a place right now where he can be with Luke the way Luke wants him to be. So I feel that Luke really needs to give Noah his space. I had thought that with Noah's "I'm sick to death of being mad at you...I love you" proclamation, his anger would have subsided, but it seems that that is not the case.
Oh, and writers? PLEASE stop bashing us over the head with Noah's continual standoffishness. Rejection!Noah is in full throttle - WE GET IT. I don't want to squirm anymore every time I see Luke trying to be affectionate and Noah pulls away from him.
I would really like it if Noah could forgive Luke (or at least start to forgive him) before his eyesight is restored. I don't think it's going to happen, given the recent spoilers, but it would be nice to know that even if Noah's eyesight was never restored, he would eventually stop being angry at Luke and really try to make things work.
And also...what happened to Noah is not Luke's fault! It isn't. This is totally my opinion, but I don't blame Luke for the accident. Was he part of the overall situation? Yes. But Noah was focused enough on the fireworks to notice that something wasn't right, and he didn't stop to find out what. Luke had even walked away from him at that point. So Noah should be blaming himself, which maybe he is. Maybe Noah is so mad at himself that he's taking it out on Luke. It's easier to take self-loathing out on others, right? Especially since Luke is so close to him and Noah knows that Luke loves him like crazy. It's easy to unleash on someone when you know they love you unconditionally.
Also...what was Noah saying about not being dependent on anyone? Is he saying that he doesn't want to ever be dependent on anyone like, EVER?! Like, not even for a minute or an hour or a day? You can't do everything on your own, Noah! (Bono wrote a song about this; it's called "Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own".) There are times when you need to lean on someone...and it's okay to do that! Especially when the person is Luke. :-) This is all the Colonel's fault! Damn that self-reliant Colonel Mayer! Hehe.
But of course, this is all my own opinion. :-) And I love the boys. And I miss my sweethearted Noah.
Anyway, enough complaining, yes? Let's talk about good boy things!! Namely, Luke. OH MY. Did you see how damn cute he was with the coat and the award and how he was describing everything to Noah about the festival ceremony? Oh, God. So cute. He was so happy and sweet. And he stood his ground when Noah accused him of being controlling. Good boy, Luke. And Noah went in to listen to everything Luke had recorded for him. Aw, Luke! What a thoughtful boyfriend he is! Damn I love how adorable Luke is. And he made the phone call to Dr. Oliver's office, which even though the spoilers are telling us is going to bring out his more "Damian-side", was still really sweet. He is trying to help Noah, he really is. (It's just hard to do the right thing when everything you do is considered wrong! Poor Luke. I say he go kick some ass, let off some steam. :-))
Guys, when the boys finally reunite, like REALLY reunite, I want it to be so mushy-gushy, drippy sweet ridiculous gooey-ness that I want to hurl everywhere. Seriously. I WANT CAVITIES. I want to get the urge to kick puppies and punch little kids in the face. I want it to be so drippy-gushy that I can hardly stand it. I want their sweetness to keep me up at night. FOR REAL.
Ahem. Rest of the show now? Yes.
Lucinda and Lily's lunch was hysterical. The preview between Damian and Lily tomorrow makes it look as though Lily is actually pregnant, but I doubt she is. They can't do another Liberty-esque storyline, nor do I think they would have Lily have another baby at this point in time. I think Lily is probably just coming down with the flu. Every symptom she described sounded like the flu to me, at least.
But the cliffhanger with Lily and Holden at the hospital had me and Honey giggling like schoolgirls. I was so looking forward to that scene, I really was. Holden's face was just so priceless, and Lily was so freaking embarrassed that it was incredibly funny.
And NutMeg is now pulling a Peter Petrelli circa Heroes season two at Deer Brook, yes? But Peter had the sense to flush his pills down the toilet! Meg's keeping a plastic baggie of FLAMING RED PILLS behind her pillow - that's just BEGGING to be found by institute personnel! First rule of crime: GET RID OF THE EVIDENCE! Silly Meg. But I love how calm and rational she was (and the nurse had to prepare Holden and Molly for that! LULZ!) and how she so sweetly threatened Damian. Also, Damian coming into her room? HAHA. Apprehensive Damian is apprehensive! Honey and I were also giggling at his stricken expression, which lasted for most of Meg's conversation with him. HAHA.
And Simon and Henry snuggling together on the couch?! AHAHAHAHAHAHA. Love it. Too adorable. I love how they jumped apart, too, when Katie woke them up. HAHAHA. I like Simon and Henry as friends. They're great.
And Katie and Henry today, too! Did you see? They shared A Moment. Totally. When they were at WOAK and they were both all "I wouldn't have made it through this without you", they totally shared something there. Whether it was pure BFFness or a hint at something more, it was wonderful. They were so cute and so sweet and FINALLY Katie knows that she is truly not alone. YAY! Now she can begin to heal and move on and be happy again.
And what was up with Clarissa, or as I like to call her, the Vienna knock-off? Was she someone random or someone from Simon's past that I don't know about? I'm not up on all my Simon background knowledge. Anyway. I'm glad Simon told her to beat it and instead made Katie dinner. Totally cute.
And now Holden and Molly are about to get it on! Bow chicka bow bow! Haha. I wanna see how far it goes with Molly before Holden ends up in Lily's clutches again. Hehe.
Also, Lily's "You think I'm sleeping with Holden when I'm married to Damian?!" just made Honey and me LAUGH and LAUGH. Uh, yeah, actually, that's EXACTLY what Lucinda's thinking, because why? Oh, yeah...BECAUSE YOU'VE DONE IT BEFORE! Duhhhhhh, Lily. Haha.
Anyway, I have sufficiently blabbed enough about today's ep, right? Sorry 'bout that. As a Gemini, I possess the gift of gab. :-D I want the boys' storyline to pick up NOW NOW NOW! I need my sweet Nukeness back...my January's looking pretty dreary right now and once a week with the boys is not enough!

PS - Jacob's outfit was ridiculously cute today! His hood had little ears on it! SQUEE!
