I'M FREAKING OUT ALREADY - Being Erica s04e09
The title says it all.
Dear Show: I love you and will always love you, but I don't like you very much. Please don't stab me through the heart.
Pre-loading with even more Pretender. Well, at least I now remember why I find "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" so unbearably sad. There's also (independently) interesting fallout from the fact that "Rebecca" ( Read more... )

One scene really isn't enough D: Though I now think it's Jent and that will make me happy, just not happy enough to carry the show end?
and peculiargroove is saying she might not even watch it?

There is probably more that one scene that will do so. But it is less great than last ep.

But why?? Too late to give up now, I feel!

But it is supposed to be more great than last ep D: This is not a time for a dip in the story trajectory, there has been too much dippage already. If we were dipping into a well, it would be dry, dipping into savings and we'd be bankrupt.
IDK, I'm hoping she's joking. But the preview was apparently very not good? This is why I don't watch previews.

Basically.
While watching the last scene I was sitting there looking at how much time is left in the ep HOPING that Brent and Julianne would pop up. But no... I'm supposed to care more about Adam/Erica apparently.
I feel really bad for the Kai/Erica shippers, because I've been there. Having the writers tease with a couple and then taking it all away and putting the girl with some other guy who apparently "challenges" the girl more.

Not sure quite where they were going with that, slight humour value aside. Makes it seem like Erica/Kai was "meant to be", unless that's supposed to be part of the fantasy she had to learn (again) doesn't exist?
Also have to wonder where Erica gets the money to buy a designer dress and have it altered at a bridal shop for a wedding she's not actually *in*, because those things are bloody expensive and she supposedly put all her money into her new business.
Dave is adorkable.
Loved the return of Dave's poetry! And that Ivan responded with just a normal vow and didn't bat an eyelash at Dave's. BRENT
Are we passing blue judgment, isolating Kai and Erica in this private, dreamlike momentThat's rather Gatsby. It's an interesting symbol in this show, because the patients never really do have private moments - Dr T and Dr F both would have seen at least enough glimpses of that to know what was going on. (It always seems like Dr T knows more than Erica would have ( ... )

So "cosmic latte" is the average colour of the universe. Oddly enough, it seems to have been chosen by polling a bunch of astronomers at JHU, and then ignoring the results and picking the name the editors liked. (I also learned that the related "latteo" means "milky" which is another layer of ha.)

I know they've been scaling up her clothes as she makes more money, but yeah, don't know why she's got so much cash. Unless Kai bought her the dress, which is possible.

Cool! Guess the writers just couldn't resist using that. Kind of surprised the average colour of the universe is quite that light.
one of my favourite moments is when Dave puts his foot down: 50/50 will be their tenants, and Ivan taps his cheek for a peck
That cheek tap is very cute, but I've always wondered why Ivan seemed so grumpy and like he's trying to be a tough guy in that scene when he's been pretty openly cuddly ever since.
How do you make ceramic stuff that big?
No idea. I've never actually ventured into that museum, but maybe if I do someday I'll find you an answer to that question.
Which I call voyeurism...It's not something anyone has really brought up, and in fact even though they narrate their stories as if the Therapist doesn't know, everyone takes for granted that the Therapist will also have the answers.It seems odd to me that Erica didn't bring it up / freak out when she realized that Dr. T could SEE what happened in her life, but I guess she just ( ... )

They must have a geek on staff *g* I'm super worried about the mental health of astronomers now though: http://www.pha.jhu.edu/~kgb/cosspec/topten.htm

I read it as him wanting them to talk through all decisions regarding Goblins. Plus he hadn't met either of the girls.
It seems odd to me that Erica didn't bring it up / freak out when she realized that Dr. T could SEE what happened in her life,First rule of fight club, don't talk about fight club? DrT knows about her sex life, and Erica had to deep-breath before bringing it up in relation to Ethan, so I doubt she'd be comfortable if they admitted DrT knows it all. One of those plot niggles ( ... )

They should take pity and release an edition without Erica/Adam in. Or just without Erica in.

Which reminds me I must tweet the director of the finale to make the point that I had infact caught him out with the picture of Adam at the finale readthrough and that is WAS a spoiler and he was stupid to post it *grins*
