Did you listen to "Flaws" yet? It's so Jack/Renee to me. Then again I hear just about anything and I think of them. SIGH.
I like those jeans a lot. Maybe when I get a job I'll be able to afford jeans.
The last ep of The Newsroom made me so ... weirdly anxious. They did it in real time. It was like 24. Well in that ONE way. So one ep of News Night was going on the whole time and I just had this weird anxiousness the whole time that things could go differently than planned and it was just bizarre because obviously it was just as scripted as all the other eps but it didn't feel like I could predict anything. Anyway, I'm glad you're watching with me and glad you like the politics. The characters are far too flawed and human for you to fall in love. This does not surprise me. Nope.
Why would they do anything to Froot Loops? They're so good already. Why add weird red ones that are large and gross?
The whole HoGo line about how fans would be heartbroken if Chloe weren't in it makes me so mad I'm at the point of laughter. Please, Howard Gordon. Pretend some more to be concerned with the hearts of the fans. He'd kill off Chloe just as quickly as anyone else if he thought someone somewhere would pat him on the back for it and call it powerful story telling.
Oh man I wish I could have a video of S's face watching The Avengers.
It's probably my fault that "Edelweiss" is stuck in your head.
YES YES YES YES YES. LIKE THE ORGASM SCENE IN WHMS!!!leigh57August 13 2013, 22:12:03 UTC

THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS ALL THE THIS.
He would sell his own mom into white slavery if he thought someone would call it powerful storytelling. Honestly? I would LOVE it if they killed Chloe. My delight would actually know no bounds, and I realize this makes me a terrible person, but I can live with that. They have fucked the show up so ridiculously that I would just keel over laughing at all the people who thought she was safe and then oops, nope! Sucks to be you! But that's just because I am bitter and awful, and they will never kill Chloe anyway. It does leave me wondering where the emotional mmmmphf for this season will be, because they won't kill Chloe or Jack and they aren't bringing in any other former characters, so how is anybody going to care if they introduce somebody in ep 1 and off them in ep 3? Rhetorical question, clearly.
Okay I'm sorry. That awesome response of yours gets its own comment. I'll reply to the other stuff in a different one.
Re: YES YES YES YES YES. LIKE THE ORGASM SCENE IN WHMS!!!adrenalin211August 13 2013, 22:34:36 UTC
Probably she's there because the purpose of her powerful story arc is to lead him to Renee, who is very much alive and conceivably trapped in Russia and Jack has to find her, the peril, the pain, the hope, the rejuvenated spirit and will to live another day!
Only she's actually working with the Russians.
BECAUSE THAT IS HOW TO MAKE IT WORSE AND I WOULDN'T PUT IT PAST THEM AND IT WOULD HAVE EMOTIONAL MMMFPH
ETA: I just noticed your subject line. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Oh Meg Ryan.
Re: YES YES YES YES YES. LIKE THE ORGASM SCENE IN WHMS!!!leigh57August 13 2013, 22:45:00 UTC
AND SHE'S THEIR BAIT TO LURE JACK INTO THEIR CLUTCHES, WHERE SHE WILL TORTURE HIM TERRIBLY, ALL THE WHILE CHANNELING EARLY S8 RENEE WHEN SHE WAS BATSHIT INSANE.
Ahahahaha, nope. Mostly Jack will just run around doing something stupid and Chloe will make her standard faces, but they'll be back on the air so normal people will be happy. Meh. Being normal would sometimes be nice man.
Re: YES YES YES YES YES. LIKE THE ORGASM SCENE IN WHMS!!!adrenalin211August 13 2013, 22:49:50 UTC
It fer serious would be nice to be normal. Unless they magically put him into a position where he could get Kim and Teri back, I wish they would have never done this 12 hour arc. And I don't even know what's in it yet, but I'm almost certain it's not something I'll like or will leave Jack off in a better place than before. So. Fuck you, writers.
Re: YES YES YES YES YES. LIKE THE ORGASM SCENE IN WHMS!!!leigh57August 13 2013, 22:53:01 UTC
We all know I'm never getting over Renee, EVER EVER EVER, but I would at least be willing to watch the damn show if they handed him something from his life back. I was truly holding out hope that Elisha Cuthbert might come back. But I guess Chloe's story arc is SO COMPELLING that we just don't have time for you know, JACK TO REUNITE WITH THE LOVE OF HIS LIFE.
Fuck me. God I just get too worked up about this. IT'S YOUR FAULT. I'll blame it on you. My face is Renee's face in this icon.
Re: YES YES YES YES YES. LIKE THE ORGASM SCENE IN WHMS!!!adrenalin211August 13 2013, 23:10:35 UTC
I think it's Sloan without the E. Which is my fault because I thought it had an e so I probably wrote it with an e while talking to you and now it's stuck in your head as the correct spelling. In conclusion, never trust my spelling.
In any case, I don't think it's weird that Sloan reminds you of you. She reminds me of you a little bit too. She just doesn't understand anyone! Ever. Hahahaha. And she tries sometimes? But never really cares enough to let it bother her or try harder. I love it when Mac is like "Do you have any human skills?" and Sloan's like "I am told I do not." You're also a little Mac because she's so spastic and energetic and anxious, but you know... really truly you're not Mac on the whole part where she's weak and selfish enough to cheat on Will, which makes you not like Mac, since that part is kinda the whole point of her character. It should be in your mailbox tomorrow or the next day and I'm excited because the first couple of eps are really good. And did I mention the politics? I love ze politics. OMG. It makes me so happy when people are called out on their shit and Sorkin always writes characters who have no trouble doing it. Unrealistic? Yes. But fun to witness? Absolutely.
I'm sorry that I made you more worked up than you were. It's just that I get SO MAD. What is the POINT of doing any of this if Jack can't get anything back? At the end of s8 he didn't want to live! He just wanted to DIE. Because of Renee and because Kim and Teri couldn't be in his life and he barely had the fight IN him to go on the run. But it's like... he also couldn't do ze suicide because he doesn't believe he should or something so he is just walking heartbreak. And nothing is going to change and fuck that that someone thinks Chloe having his back is some sort of consolation prize. It's no more than the sticker they let you pick out at the pediatrician's office after they give you shots and draw blood. It's not like anyone is giving him his blood back.
Re: YES YES YES YES YES. LIKE THE ORGASM SCENE IN WHMS!!!leigh57August 14 2013, 13:20:45 UTC
I wish I weren't curious at all, but I AM. I mean I really want to know what they're going to do that will prove to be even mildly interesting to anyone. Everything points to the fact that most if not all of the 12 hours will take place outside the U.S., which makes me even more skeptical about Chloe's story. I'm gonna gross out so hard if she's ditched Morris and Prescott in order to run around after Jack. That would be revolting on about ten thousand levels. I guess we'll see, ergh.
Re: YES YES YES YES YES. LIKE THE ORGASM SCENE IN WHMS!!!adrenalin211August 14 2013, 14:15:11 UTC
Yeah I don't trust them to get anything right ever. I guess I figured Chloe wasn't out of the country, but that might be a naive assumption. In any case I don't want 12 hours of TV where Jack's only person is Chloe. Pft.
Why is it your fault I have Edelweiss stuck in my head? I'm thinking it might be the reblog I saw on tumblr. Of the scene where he's playing the guitar, lol.
Dude, the jeans are 29.99. Stop sending me shit and buy jeans! :P
Oh god, real time Newsroom! I wouldn't be anxious though. I'd be laughing my ass off at everyone, because when things screw up on that show I just think it's funny. Bonus points if Don, Douchebag (Leona's son -- I forget his name), or Will freak out. And dude, the politics are awesome. How can you not love a show that calls out the stupid fucking Tea Party every ten seconds?
S talks too much during The Avengers. S talks too much all the time. Where did he get this?
Well because I was singing Edelweiss probably in your vicinity like I sometimes do. You don't remember when we were singing it together and S was giving us that sassily judgmental you-guys-are-freaks glare?
It doesn't surprise me that S talks too much during the Avengers at ALL. He gets it from you! And your mom, who has her own email address now. I'm trying to figure out why I'm CC'd on it. Why wasn't I just on the list with everyone else?
LOL, yes I remember that, but I wasn't thinking that was why it was stuck in my head this MORNING. S's sassy judgmental stares are my favorite.
Bwah, I wish you could have heard the convo I was having with my mom around 4:30. Oh wait, no I don't. It's like talking to your dad about computers. She didn't know you could have gmail and yahoo open at the same time. I am just like, wut? But she's sending out to all her contacts. Probably everybody is in CC because she doesn't know how to put multiple people in the subject line. Or something.
Send me pics and I'll make all the icons you want! I'll even apply a tint of your choosing.
Ohh, ahahaha. To me it just looks like everyone else is in the regular send box and I'm in the CC and I was like ". . ." but then I shrugged it off because I figured she just didn't know what she was doing. But it seems as though she thinks there's a limit to how many people you can send a message to, because.... it stops at H. As though she has to do it in waves. It was nice of you to help your mother.
You will fer realz? Awww. I want icons of Mac and Sloan. I wonder if there's one of them close enough together. I friendship them.
I love S's sassy judgmental stares too. That also reminds me of you.
