Ugly Baby Does Not Approve, Livejournal.
...okay, guys, I am attempting to use my icon of a poorly-drawn Albus Dumbledore yelling 'NOOOOOOOOO'. Please tell me that you do not see an icon of a disgruntled-looking baby with some Russian writing underneath it instead. Clearing the cache does nothing! I am most put out by this turn of events!
You know what does not put me out, however? Avatar. I have now watched up to 'The Puppetmaster'.
Regarding 'The Beach': I love Ty Lee! She is wonderful. Hooray for cheerful, perky, adorable antagonists!
Also, Zuko is an amazing idiot. I adore him, but he makes me roll my eyes so much.
Regarding 'The Puppetmaster': echogarrote told me that this episode would prove that Derren Brown is a Waterbender. It is so true. Also, that was really creepy.
Regarding Avatar in general: I love that the characters' hair grows over time, episode by episode. Physical change just isn't something that happens in most cartoons. When we first met Zuko, he had a ponytail, then he cut his hair very short, and now it has grown out to the point at which he can tie it up again. There is a real sense of time passing in Avatar, and I think the physical changes in the characters have a lot to do with that.
Here, completely unrelatedly, is a terrible theory regarding the cause behind Sam's 'time travel' in Life on Mars.
"Hello, Sam."
Sam must be going mad, if he's not mad already. It's ridiculous, and it's definitely not the right year, but he swears the man looks exactly like Derren Brown.
1973 is completely still around them: Gene frozen in his doorway, Chris and Ray caught in the middle of having a conversation. Apart from Sam, Derren is the only thing moving. He runs a hand along the edge of a desk, winces, rubs his gloved fingertips together to get rid of the dust.
"You're not from here," Sam says.
Derren smiles, enigmatically.
"How did I get here?" Sam demands. "How do I get back?"
"A while ago," Derren says, " - well, I say a while ago, but I suppose from your perspective it's thirty-three years from now - I approached you in your workplace and offered you two cards. Do you remember that?"
Sam stares. Eventually, he manages to say, "What do you mean, 'from my perspective'?"
Derren gives a satisfied nod. "You don't remember? Excellent."
