Episode 16 - Inca Mummy Girl
Another slow day at work means you get another entry. Eventually, I'm going to catch this up to where I'm actually watching.
Inca Mummy Girl - or - Xander firmly establishes his masochistic taste in women
Synopsis: The students of Sunnydale are hosting their very own foreign exchange students. This coincides with a school trip to the Museum of Lax Security where they free Xander's new girlfriend from her mummified sleep. Mummy girl proceeds to commit the most depraved acts (murder, cross dressing, dating) with the blink blink blinky look of innocence.
Again we find that Xander and Bobby have a few things in common. This time, it's an attraction to crazy bitches. That whole equation of homicidal intent = love. First there was the mantis. And now, a mummy girl. A mummy girl running around in a South American boy's button down and khakis. So of -course- Xander thinks she's keen.
Thus the in no way a phallic referencing 'Let me show you how to eat a Twinkie' scene. No, that's not awkward at all.
But finally, at the dance... they make with the kissing and the draining. Her evil mummy powers manifest and she begins to hurt the one she honestly cares for. No, no, not now. Not like this. Gasp. Sigh. She was going to drain the even more geeky kid. But Xander burst in and now she's hungry and he's right there. And so sweet. And so willing. And...
And this scene is usually the classic brooding vampire boy and breathless trembling human girl scene. He bites her. Feels tortured. Runs away. She faints. It's the basic vampire set up with endings ranging from a Disneyfied happily ever after (referred to as LJ Smithing) to a weird vampiric family version of Claudia Has Two Dirty Uncles (referred to as Anne Ricing). So it was fun to see a little twist. A mummy girl with geek boy twist.
But let's get to what really matters in this episode.
Oz! Yes, wonderful witty, funny, left of the center.... Seth Green. Has he been in anything where I didn't find him oddly adorable and wanted to get into his short little pants? Answer: No. And oh, dear god... the boy is short. I can't tell if Devon (the lead singer/Cordy's beau) is just a beefy guy to have to stand next to... or if Seth is actually shorter than his guitar is long.
The longing gaze he cast at Willow in her Eskimo gear made my toes curl. I am now waiting patiently for the episode where Oz, Spike and Drusilla team up to make Sunnydale their bitch. They could install Willow as their evil queen. The evil queens are more fun when they used to be blinky innocent things. So awesome.
Moral of the episode: Living on the Hellmouth or no, being addicted to dating crazy bitches is some dangerous shit.
