SVH Episode 3.05: Are You A Man Or Mouse?

[hellobrisvegas]

I hope I'm not the only one who looks at the title of this episode and immediately thinks of that line in The Wizard of Oz where the Cowardly Lion sings, " I could show my prowess/Be a lion, not a mow-us, if I only had the noive..." Just me? Well, that's okay, because it's all relative -- that line is basically Todd's personal tagline for the

... are we sure Todd/Winston isn't canon? Sure?

Also, the B-plot seems really... bizarre. I don't know if that's just me, but it's like two halves of two episodes were randomly sewn together here.

but it's like two halves of two episodes were randomly sewn together here.

That would not surprise me in the least.
"Hey! We've got a story about Liz and her science mouse, but it seems like it's a bit short. What do you think we should do?"

"Well, we've got a few scenes in which the guys all interact. They really don't have an episode to call home yet, so we could just throw them in there!"

"Perfection."

It's like the TV equivalent of cooking something to use up all the leftovers in your kitchen.

In my mind, it is canon! XD

Seriously, for a 1990s TV show the slashiness seems to just leap off the frickin' screen. How they got away with it without being openly trashed as promoting gayness I'd love to know, 'cause damn :P

Exhibit 3892473 in demonstrating why Reggie is a sad, stale, pot-smelling replacement for Bruce: Reggie has a lame fighting nuns game. Bruce would actually have paid to make nuns fight.

::sigh:: Maybe Lila was visiting Bruce at wherever he'd gone.

[winstonegbert]

Man, I hope so. A series without Bruce is conducive to nothing but epic failure.

Bruce would actually have paid to make nuns fight.
Knowing Bruce, they'd be Playmates dressed as nuns, and fighting in a mud pit, but I think the sentiment's still there.

Maybe Lila was visiting Bruce at wherever he'd gone.
Yep. Any time Lila's not on screen, she's in Guam visiting Bruce and watching his highly-lucrative underground nun-fighting ring.

At my high school, basketball teams played twice a week. For varsity that meant Tuesday and Friday. So Liz has been avoiding Todd for some time over a week.

[hellobrisvegas]

Aha, thank you! You have much knowledge, American chum.

[gojl5567]

In my high school, the Friday night football/basketball games were one of the easiest places to hang out.

Y'know, I was sad reading through this that you hadn't screencapped all of the inappropriate touching. Then I got to the end. THANK YOU!!!!

Also, this episode contains more sense than most: i.e. Liz and Todd really do have NOTHING in common but cereal!

[hellobrisvegas]

Liz and Todd really do have NOTHING in common but cereal!
And even then I get the feeling that Liz isn't as jazzed on cereal as Todd is. Given the option, I think she might prefer some toast.

For some reason, it occured to me (in the middle of the night), that maybe there were several ghostwriters writing books at the same time! That would explain so many of the inconsistencies - almost like the books were written out of order. Say For example, Bob wrote Book 1, while Jane wrote Book 2 and Tom wrote Book 3, then Bob wrote book 4 without having read 2 and 3 coz he never wrote them - if you get my drift?? Think that theory works quite well for me and have decided that it's FACT!!
