AP Forensics, 1.04 and 1.05

Since I missed it last week, let's discuss the last two, starting with last week:

AWWW IT WAS SO SAD/CUTE WHEN KELLI CLIMBED INTO KYLE'S ROOM WHEN SHE KEPT HAVING NIGHTMARES. AND SHE WANTED TO CUDDLE. I just I don't even!

I love the whiteboard idea that Spencer came up with and that they're making all these connections and trying to figure out everything. (The cards are, so far: ace of spades and a jack of clubs and a queen of hearts which is from this past one BUT I DIGRESS.) And then they have a notebook, and I hope that Noah doesn't find it because he will probably have a nervous breakdown reading it.

And then THIS WEEK! It's like they're trying to slowly show that Max has a soul because just when Kyle's all but saying HE KILLED MY BEST FRIEND THAT BASTARD Lacey ends up hurt and they're making me like them both. I still think that there is something not entirely right about Max besides his massive previous assholishnes, but, you know, I don't want him to die now

I LOVE YOUR ICON WHERE DID YOU GET IT

[kayefierch]

TOTALLY HAD A FORREST GUMP FLASHBACK AT THAT. And Dawson's Creek for that matter, and Clarissa Explains It All, and what is it with all these kids climbing into each other's bedroom windows? I don't know if I should be scandalized or feel deprived because I never had a friend like that.

Lacey's hurt but not dead. Could be a red herring. I love Max, but I tend to never trust the pretty ones.

Agreed to an extent, but I can't blame him, either. I mean, what else is he going to do? They should search the staff members too, though, if they're really going to be serious about it. Just saying.

[galaxysoup]

Yeah, the bag searches are maybe not a great plan. I can see where they could be effective, but wouldn't a buddy system be pretty effective too? And at least then there'd be a witness to the next attempted murder!

[kayefierch]

Or double murders. Though I guess that could work too. Process of elimination!

Man, I've been so busy this week I'm only now catching up on TV.

Finding Charlie 1.09

When we saw the schoolyard fight with Jaime and his friend in episode five, I remember that the other kid was bleeding, but I never thought he might have been bitten. Yikes! I hope there's another Rudy episode in our future, because there is no way that provided closure for Jaime.

Charlie remembering skating with Phoebe was sweet. I'll bet this is the first time the makeup people have had to make an actor look older for a flashback sequence!

[be_themoon]

ohhhhh no! Jaime was so horrified and omggg and HIS FACE HIS FACE ack. D:

[ironychan]

I KNOW! And the bit where Rudy tells him "I don't want any help from you"! ;_;

[jjpor]

Another great episode - but why couldn't they get Chris Walken back to play Old Charlie in the flashback? That guy never turns down a paying gig! ;D

(a day late but hopefully not a dollar short! or something...)

The Diogenes Boys 1.06 "Good Intentions"

I loved this episode. Even when the show is getting all this big name guest stars, the storyline holds up pretty well and doesn't fall into the trap of "here, we stuck a famous person in here!" Jude Law is perfect casting as a young Arthur Conan Doyle and watching him act all oblivious both in face of danger and in the face of all the snark (even Ned gets into it! Clearly he is feeling less depressed, poor thing) cracked me up.

I felt bad for the bad guy! He had a "good" reason... it just went all pear-shaped. Although trying to shoot Sam? DO NOT MESS WITH MY BOYS.

Ooo, teaser for next week looks awesome! Kickass women for the win! LOVE IT.

[galaxysoup]

Am I the only one hoping that Arthur Conan Doyle will come back for another episode and wind up getting arrested by, say, Detective Sullivan? ;-)

And next week - ohmygoodnessYES. I love Rachel Weisz! *ahem* and, you know, I'm waiting to see what happens next in a plotty way, that too... ;-)

[ironychan]

I am totally with you on the MOAR CONAN DOYLE PLZ.

And aha, that's why we saw so little of Josephine on Small Creatures this week... she was off guest-starring in The Diogenes Boys. Squee!

[be_themoon]

NO SHOOTING NO SHOOTING BAAAAD. also, helloooo Jude Law! <333 he was so fabulous! and I always love bad guys who paved their fall with good intentions, because they're just so much more fun. *pats*

Cabin Fever, 1x09 - Keep the Weapons Down

*pats revolutionaries* awww, sweeties! how Ellen wants to be in astrophysics, learning about the stars she's been watching her whole life! DARLING. just - all of them! talking about all the things they want to do so badly and CAN'T. okay, way to put me firmly on the revolutionaries' side for an episode. Alsoooo, Fred quietly turning off the camera on the corridor outside to protect them! <333

also, ohhhhh no, the midseason finale is coming up and it does not look like anything good is happening AT ALL come on kids you can do it!

[ironychan]

I'm afraid I didn't quite feel the cuteness on Ellen's wanting to take astrophysics... but that's because I'm a cynical old grouch with a B.Sc. who was sitting there going "yeah, stars are pretty and all, but wait until you see the math they'll want you to learn."
