... in which you gotta work it, girl
OK, so, I have been watching Project Runway on YouTube - my love for Tim Gunn? IMMENSE. "Resolve the skirt." is classic, but I just love even the way he says things like "I am reluctantly leaving you." and his geeking with Jon Stewart, seriously, the man is just genius on every level - and it is awesome. Only I have now run out of it (has the finale of season four happened yet? I am gathering no, but o_O), so I moved on to Project Catwalk, the British version.
... and it's awful. OH GOD. Who is this van der Lici dude and why is he contaminating my screen? (Way to barge in and tell everybody what to do, dude, try watching Tim Gunn for how to give advice without being a JACKASS.) And the whole being-able-to-swap-other-people's-models thing is just rubbish, but not as rubbish as the terrible, terrible voiceovers. Runway managed without voiceovers, people, SO CAN YOU. Then again, they also had Heidi Klum who is gorgeous and always impeccably dressed to present and produce, not Liz freakin' Hurley, who showed up to the first episode in a top that belongs to a FRAGGLE, only, like, if Fraggles had strippers. Urgh. And yet, apparently it's better than the Canadian one. I am not sure I want to see BOTH my favourite countries look terrible in comparison, though. It's really embarassing, like it's proving all the 'oh, an American remake would be SO MUCH BETTER' people right. This should not happen.
God, I love Supernatural. I love DEAN, and while seeing him DIE like a zillion times in the last episode was kind of traumatic, I loved it. I loved that it's all about preparing us and Sam for the reality of Dean's upcoming demise - the overblown nature of the first deaths, then the 'real' one where we started having to accept it a little. Sam's complete meltdown, while being one hardcore badass. (I was well worried when he killed Bobby, but then he was right that it wasn't Bobby, so it's all good.) I love that the trickster came back just like we thought he would. I love that I am now THIS EXCITED about the upcoming episodes!
... I am a leeeetle nervous that they will just ignore the fact that Sam had MONTHS on his own with no Dean, months where he changed and learned and developed new habits and cultural references and stuff. Cause dammit, I want Dean to know about it and I want Dean to CARE. But I am loving the show right now and I am mostly pretty confident. Eee.
Oh, Stargate. That would have been such an awesome episode if not for the first ten minutes. Could you not think of ANY OTHER WAY to get Ronon and Teal'c fighting, any other way to resolve the Batman v Superman question than treating them like PITBULLS? Not even a 'let's put on a demonstration and show these fools how it's done' thing, maybe? Or, y'know, ANYTHING THAT WASN'T 'OH HEY LET'S HAVE THESE TWO DUDES TOTALLY LOSE CONTROL AND GO FOR EACH OTHER WHILE THE WHITE PEOPLE WHOOP AND HOLLER AND MAKE BETS? They are better than that. They are so much better than that.
Also, dude, Ronon and Teal'c have way more interesting things to say to each other than THAT. (To be fair this got a little better nearer the end of the episode, but dude.) And couldn't Teal'c talk to aaaanyone else? Like, oh, TEYLA, or, hell, John? Now wouldn't that be better than a ridiculous 'Teal'c and Ronon piss each other off and start trying to kill each other' thing?
I liked the rest, though. Rodney thinking he killed John... goddamn. David Hewlett, you are awesome. Ronon and Teal'c are awesome. And I loved the waking up bit at the end. But seriously... so much better without the first ten minutes. Sort it, writers.
Oh and hey, if I am not around until Friday it is because I am visiting villainny. Just so's you know. :)
