How NOT to Have a Wedding - Today's Recap, 2/15/10
Okay, two MAJOR things I want to point out from today's episode:
1) Paul gets SHOT IN THE LEG and is BLEEDING OUT, and ALL THREE DOCTORS IN ATTENDANCE PEACE OUT ON HIM?!
I know that they wanted to save the other hostages and all, but NO ONE ELSE was hurt! Paul was the only one who was hurt and ALL the doctors left!!! WUT?!
And I really had hope that Reid honestly was trying to be heroic, but no...he and Dr. Bob just had a plan up their sleeves. Too bad it didn't involve SAVING PAUL. Y'KNOW, THE GUY WHO WAS ACTUALLY REALLY HURT?
2) The only person who has a gun is Mick. So that leaves FIVE HEALTHY PEOPLE TO DISARM HIM. For real. FIVE AGAINST ONE. I know that Mick's a big man and all, but Casey and Henry are in the mix. Why didn't Emily, Alison, Casey, Barbara, and Henry just FRIGGING JUMP ON HIM?! Pull a Lily and tackle that man to the ground! One fell swoop and everything could have been over.
*HEADDESK*
Anyway, putting my complaints aside, I think today was the first day that I actually half-enjoyed the Mick storyline. Too bad it took ruining Casey and Ali's wedding for that.
Oh, and let's not get me started on when Ali told Mick/James/whatever that she didn't love Casey and didn't want to marry him. I think she was just lying (I pray she was just lying), but still. It made me angry.
But okay, let's start at the beginning.
First, Casey looked awesome in that tux, especially with the lapels of his shirt. What is that...Victorian-era style lapels? Whatever it is, he looked awesome. And he was so sweet when he said he wanted his marriage to be as good as his parents' marriage. Aw! I'm sad that that will never happen. And Margo and Tom were absolutely adorable together, too. So sweet.
Paul and Emily were also very sweet together. I love how they can joke with one another, and I love how Emily said that all she ever wanted was to marry Paul. So sweet.
And you know who else was sweet? GAH. Henry and Barbara. I'm totally shipping them now, from the scenes they had the other day, and now from today's scenes. They are so sweet and cute and wonderful together...I really hope they work out (for a while, anyway, until Vienna comes back in and turns Henry's world upside down :-P). They just work for each other, and Henry is a doll. Love him.
But what I didn't love was Katie's petty temper tantrum at Henry. "OMG YOU SAID SOMETHING BAD ABOUT REID! I'M NOT GOING TO THE WEDDING WITH YOU!" Ugh. Get over it, Katie. PS - Henry is your friend - he loves you and is worried about you! Why? BECAUSE YOU INVITED A STRANGE MAN TO MOVE INTO YOUR HOUSE AFTER TALKING TO HIM FOR LIKE, THREE MINUTES! *facepalm* If Brad were around, he would have knocked Reid into next week already.
And speaking of everyone's favourite doctor :-P, man I love it when Bob spanks Reid! Don't you? Yet again, Bob lays down the law and turns the tables on Reid. HAHA. His ass must be getting sore, 'cause Bob's laying the smackdown on him like WHOA! Teehee. Reid's always like, "Well, I do what I want!" and Bob's always like, "I DON'T THINK SO, BOY!" And oh yeah, how much did you love it when Reid got snippy with Bob and Kim was like, "HOW DARE YOU?!" I'm surprised she didn't slap his mouth! Go Kim, it's your birthday. :-P (Me = nerd.)
Also, before they revealed their stealthy plan, I had wondered how Reid knew so quickly that Bob was having a stroke. There really weren't any symptoms! LOL. Doesn't matter since it was fake, though.
Also also, Reid was at Casey's wedding, but Luke was not?! Argh, writers. You make me wanna punch someone in the face. Stop isolating your characters.
Okay, so Mick (surprise, surprise) shows up early at the church, and he's arrested easily (because Ali convinced him to go up to the bell tower so she could call the police, LOL), but then of course, he overpowers the officer in the police car and takes his gun to hightail it back to the wedding.
I give ATWT props for the Paul-shooting. Okay, that came out weird. What I meant was, I didn't see it coming. Paul and Emily were in the middle of a reading when the shot rang out and Paul went down. Then Mick strolls in with his gun and finishes Paul's reading, which was a sonnet from Shakespeare. It was actually kind of a cool scene, though I don't want Paul to be hurt.
And Casey. Oh, Casey, how I love you. I love that he ran out of patience pretty darn quick and was ready to jump in to save Ali. Unfortunately, I don't know if he can take Mick by himself...we'll have to wait till tomorrow's episode to see what happens.
And the truth comes out about Alison's infidelity. Oh, Ali. What a skank. My heart is with Casey on this one, especially after his whole "You don't lie, you don't play games, and you don't hurt people," wedding vow to her. Poor baby. :-(
Oh, and I LOVED how Emily told Mick to go to hell. YEAH!
Today's ep was kinda funny, because all the men were cowering, like, "Please please let us all go!" and all the women were like, "EFF YOU MICK DANTE!" all up in his face. Haha. Gender role reversal was pretty awesome. :-)
So we have more wedding day blues tomorrow. I know Henry apparently gets knocked out, and Casey goes for Mick, but seriously...they all should just dogpile him. Take a running start and just leap at him from all directions. Ten bucks says it's one of the girls that finally takes Mick down! :-P
OH YEAH, and SUSAN?! YOU LEFT BOTH YOUR DAUGHTERS IN THE CHURCH WITH A RAVING PSYCHO LUNATIC WITH A GUN! Arrgghhhh, show. WTF. My mother would NEVER leave me in a situation like that!
(I guess I could be angry at a lot of other people, too...like Tom for leaving Casey, but...I dunno. I'm just not angry at him. Irrational anger is irrational. :-P They all kind of deserted each other, so...*shrug*)
Oh, I know I complain about him, and I do love it when Dr. Bob tells him how it is, but I really like Reid. He's funny. And hot.
Ooh, yeah, and Luke name-drop today, WHOO! I'm thinking now maybe Reid got screwed out of something by a rich boy, because he seems to just hate Luke because of his family's money. I wanna know what the deal is with Reid! Every time something goes wrong with Reid, his immediate response is, "Well, I HATE LUKE SNYDER!" LOL. As if that explains everything. HAHA!
