#56 Lost At Sea

Sep 26, 2009 19:14

I don't know how long ago this was recapped, and in fact I've just read another SVH book that felt far more snark-worthy. But everytime I saw that soggy face staring back at me I felt pulled towards this book. It might be Elizabeth, as that’s who the caption refers to - but there is mention of Jess having a gauzy coverup. Either way, the caption ( Read more... )

Most amusing and snappy recap!

... a bear? Really? Do they get bears off the coast of California? I could wiki it, but that would be going to ridiculous lengths to prove an SVH book wrong.

Thanks :)

Hmm. Question 1 - the answer is "very, very likely" since the twins never leave the bubble of Sweet Valley unless it's to do an internship for something they're barely qualified for at some European outpost. 2: Elizabeth can help people overcome ANYTHING with the power of her condescending gaze and shoulder squeeze. 3: This one's a little more oblique, but basically Bruce errs on the side of non-monogamous which would prompt a swift "probably" in answer. Also, SVH does love a good opportunity for a tragic heroine. See - the captions tell you all you need to know!

Sure, be miserable because your sister is missing but don’t make it all about you! Jeffrey gives her a warm lingering kiss and Elizabeth thinks that there couldn’t be anything wrong in the world as long as they’re together. Except your TWIN is missing.

Actually, if you follow the recaps on the SVU books, it's good continuity: I'm not sure SVU!Elizabeth would even notice Jessica was missing until one of her boyfriends mentioned it.

Meanwhile Elizabeth is at school, fluffing around unable to concentrate, and drawing awkward-well-meaning-comments from classmates. She sighs internally about everyone watching her and giving her sympathetic looks. Stay home then, attention-seeker.

Forget that, why on earth is the school open when two students are missing and have possibly drowned?

And on a school-sponsored field trip, even. Then again, if Jess and Winston (or, rather, their parents) signed the permission forms, hey, it's not SVH's problem anymore!

Ha just watched Hamlet 2 again last night. I can imagine Amy Poehler appearing and saying "you signed your consent form, you can't take it back, you can't take back your signature, you signed it so yeah, consent, end of story, you can't take back your consent." Which would have made the book significantly more awesome, come to think of it.

Yay! Mighty Boosh mention! YAY!

Milky Joe is the MAN!!!

I mean, there is a bear on the flag of California. Since this is SVH, I'm going to guess that it's THAT bear.

And Mighty Boosh+SVH= Best possible combination of things, ever!
