Cabin Fever, 1x06 Three Sheets To The Wind

I love that the show didn't take itself too seriously to completely overdo all the 'preparing for mission' shots and make NINJA JOKES. ninja jokes! also, the reactions of the specialist workers to their new bland food was HILARIOUS.

not to mention the trailer. I have a weakness for doctors, what can I say? and I've loved Fred so far, I'm so pleased it looks like there'll be more about him.

Those shots were definitively my favorites. And everything is better with Ninja-jokes! EVERYTHING!

ALSO: &hearts FRED &hearts

What was with Mystery Lady and the brownies? I'm starting to think she's a stowaway alien.

Nice to see that the show cares about the "nuts and bolts" of space travel, ie food (seriously, on some shows no one ever has to eat or pee or anything; drives me crazy!!!). I pretty much kept laughing, from the SPACE NINJA JOKES to Lethe's face of confusion as she ate a brownie.

THERE SHOULD ALWAYS BE MORE FRED--so excited for next week!

Ep 5 of Cooking Up Murder was brilliant.

Poor JJ! That dog attack was brutal! Him lying in the hospital covered in bandages. He's going to be scarred after that. Did anyone else want to slap the dog's owner for his indifferent reaction to the attack and claiming it was an accident and the dog didn't mean any harm? Good on Harry for telling him that she's going to bring him down. I think I cheered when the owner got killed. Danny holding both Harry and JJ's hands and telling them that he loves them both was just so cute. JJ getting cranky and Danny telling him to take a "chill pill" was so funny. OMG Cliffhanger of Doom (TM)! The closeup of JJ's scarred wrist as he was handcuffed... Heartbreaking.

The dog owner just gave me horrible flashbacks - I was once attacked by a dog whose owner was just like that. Keep your dog on a damn leash, people!

jadekirk March 15 2010, 21:26:32 UTC

*hugs* I'm sorry.

ironychan March 15 2010, 21:30:38 UTC

I wasn't hurt, just scared silly. I haven't been able to stand dogs since.

Gentlemen!, 1x04 "Bayonets"

Oh, okay, let me tear myself from Tumblr for a few minutes to express my delight, horror and dismay about this episode.

First of all, oh god the gore. I do like that this show doesn't shy away from the sheer awfulness of war. I liked Captain Brooks very much, and I really hate to watch him get torn apart like that. God.

And the theme of modern warfare and its clashes with centuries old traditions of how to conduct yourself in the battlefield. Because, you know, an officer with a revolver sure does stand a chance between machine guns and mustard gas.

I'll get off my soapbox now.

Delightfulness:
+ FIRST OF ALL. ARMITAGE AND FASSBENDER IN THE SAME SCENE. THEY WERE LEANING AGAINST EACH OTHER. My screen nearly melted with the sheer hotness. Perhaps they'll out ~mysterious~ each other, LMAO. Whoever did the casting for this show is clearly a fangirl. I approve.+ I hate that Miles got hurt, but maybe he and Helen can get bonding now. At least she'd be able to stop him from brooding right ( ... )

ironychan March 15 2010, 23:43:27 UTC

Oh, Brooks... I had to turn that off. I just couldn't watch.

moetushie March 16 2010, 00:05:28 UTC

It was just horrible. Poor man. :(

*drool* PICSPAM! *drool* I'm sorry, did you say anything else?

Finding Charlie 1.06

Lots of interesting stuff in this episode. Interesting to see a middle-aged woman as a 'sensei' figure instead of an elderly Asian man. I like that she remained sympathetic, even after we found out that it's her subconscious anger that's doing all the damage.

Also, backstory for Wafiya! Do I detect traces of the story of Prince Ahmed and Paribanou?

flyakate March 18 2010, 03:38:10 UTC

So hoping to see Wafiya flashbacks! Her meeting with her sister was super cryptic and dramatic.

Nice this episode gave Jaime and Charlie a chance to do some problem-solving on their own, and their conversation about how Jaime's starting to come to terms with his "animal problem" was so sweet!

ironychan March 18 2010, 12:06:35 UTC

It is so adorable how Charlie tries to be all fatherly to Jaime. And Jaime quoting Harry Potter - "people are going to think I own a badly-behaved rabbit"!

Oooh, yes! Historical geekage, kickass women, and gorgeous men! What more could anyone ask? ♥

lost_spook March 16 2010, 18:32:51 UTC

Absolutely. I so hope it lives up to such a great start. Alternate history is so hard to do - but I think this might well pull it off!

flyakate March 18 2010, 03:40:58 UTC

Ok, most of my knowledge of the revolutionary history of France is based solely on a couple songs from Marat/Sade, but I can totally buy this version of "what could have been" history!

Magali kicks so much ass! I wanna be like her when I grow up!!! ;o)
