A few TV thoughts

1. *cringecringecringe* when Cat Deeley asked single Kent who his ideal woman was. Uh, one with a penis, Cat.

2. Ryan Murphy provides such moments of joy with Glee, and such moments of frustration. The lack of consistent characterization and at times epically lazy writing (see: St. James, Jesse -- mustache twirling) holds this show back from being ( Read more... )

why would she ask a question like that?

Because this show has issues. It likes to pretend that all male dancers are straight and the dancers seem to think (perhaps rightly so) that they must play along.

It's one of the things that really bugs me about the show. Nigel has issues.

HA! Right? And I really wish the show would do some boy/boy dance numbers. I mean, mix it up! You never know where you'll find scorching hot chemistry and I feel like SYTYCD is missing an opportunity here.

JUST BECAUSE SHE'S NOT AN INFANT DOESN'T MEAN YOU STILL CAN'T BE HER MOTHER.
Seriously! That was so SAD and rage-making. And where were her dads through all this? I agree with you about Jesse, too. Groff brought so much more to the role than was in the scripts only to be confounded by ep order and editing as well!

But yeah, I totally cried at "To Sir, with Love" and still have the ep on my TiVo. Evil, manipulative show.

Bill = Duncan Kane. Eric = Logan Echolls. Enough said.
Heh, I am now approaching "Donut Run" (re-watch goes fast if you ff to L/V and L) and am as stymied as ever that anyone would prefer Veronica with Duncan. SO DULL.

Huh. Apparently, I am all chatty energy, today. Perhaps I should try to channel some of that into mopping my floors...

I enjoy chatty Fenny. :D

I'm still not quite caught up on SYTYCD, but I had the same thought about more boy/boy numbers while watching! Not even just for the slash factor -- I love men dancing together. It doesn't have to be -- gasp! -- gay.

I hate that Rachel's dads haven't been on. Like, they weren't in the audience, even? It baffles me that we haven't met them yet.

Evil, manipulative show.

Yep. I can't help but love it, even when it bugs the shit out of me.

Oh, Duncan. I mean, I didn't hate him as many did, but yeah, he was dullsville. Bill/Noah/Duncan = zzzzzzz. Eric/Reid/Logan FTW!

Eric/Reid/Logan FTW!
Hee, you have to know where I went with this in my head, yeah? :P

WHAT? THEY COULD DANCE TOGETHER AND IT COULD BE A LITTLE BIT GAY OKAY.

If by "dance" you mean "fuck like rabbits," then OKAY. :D

I think Shelby realized that she wanted the baby she never had, not an almost grown Rachel. You can say that makes her a terrible person but I think it protects her from feeling the pain of all those lost years ( ... )

I have no problem with her ALSO having a baby now, but it was just so cruel to Rachel. Especially since it was Shelby who initiated their meeting in the first place. I mean, Rachel is 15 -- still needs plenty of mothering.

They totally screwed the pooch with Jesse and ITA that they need to make a long-term plan for the characters instead of just throwing stuff at the wall each week and seeing what sticks.

It's funny, I actually LOVE Bill in the books. But Stephen Moyer is just an awful actor and not attractive to me in the slightest, and Bill on the show is so unappealing. I've always enjoyed Eric in the books but didn't want him with Sookie in the end. I haven't read the latest book yet, so we'll see how I feel. But for the TV show, Eric all the way!

I am a big Eric fan from the books and show but I thought last year's book "Dead and Gone" (the first book in the series that I did not like) signaled a Bill and Sookie reunion in the future.

bigboobedcanuck June 20 2010, 19:40:55 UTC
Yeah, I've been expecting all along it will be Bill and Sookie in the end. I just hope I will still like Bill when I read the next book and that Moyer hasn't ruined him for me!

LOL! But, for me, Sookie is like season 3 Veronica. Free the men folk from her!

Who am I kidding, though? I'd watch ASkars read the phone book to Sookie and be happy. Especially if he were doing it naked.

Did you ever watch GenKill with him in it? So all around awesome that show.

bigboobedcanuck June 20 2010, 20:41:37 UTC
Yeah, I'll watch that man do anything -- especially if he's naked!

I'm going to download GK this summer and watch. Looking forward to it!

charley_ryan June 20 2010, 23:37:04 UTC
And he likes being naked! He could be the perfect man.

GK is awesome. I pimp it to everyone.

Bill forever! I want him to be rescued, but I also don't get why werewolfs would drink vamp blood.

Agreed with the baby thing with Glee, I was hoping Quinn would end up keeping her. Hate Finn and rachel!

bigboobedcanuck June 20 2010, 20:43:00 UTC
It's because vamp blood is like a drug.

I definitely wanted Quinn to give up the baby, but not to Shelby. Meh.

fraserette June 20 2010, 20:47:38 UTC
I know it's a drug, but vamps hate werewolfs and vice versa..why go for something you hate? I read the books awhile ago and cannot remember if it explains it in there. We'll see what happens tonight!!

I totally want a Pam and Eric sex scene!

I'm not exactly sure where I want Glee to go next year, def more focus on the secondary characters! And how about a love interest for Kurt? I would like to meet Rachel dads as well!
