SFF: Wednesday edition

[lyssie]

Bones: HE IS SO DRUNK.
Bionic Woman: Improvement. But then, anything would be an improvement... Also, wow, can I see Eick's hands all over this show.

Ack. I'm so sorry. :/ Bleh. Can you do ysi/sendspace/that sort of thing?

(not that I have any of it, but it might be an option, if there's ep comms)

Evil, NAKED, Katee. Remember that.

Sackhoff is awesome, and causes far too much rpf in my head.

[lyssie]

There is a sheet involved. But. Yes.

*nods* I can't be against it, having been sort-of writing it off and on since '99 or so. There'd be this whole thing about stones and glass houses....

[wishfulaces]

Booth, drunk? Adorable. Just--awwwwww.

Angela/Hodgins will never not be awesome, I think.

[lyssie]

YES. I was about squeaking with glee at the end, and telling the cat HOW AWESOME it was!

Sigh. I love Bones. Like LOVE it. Especially with the way Booth has been all puppy like after Brennan lately, just wanting her to pay attention to him and rub his tummy. Heh.

Though I hate that he didn't call out Old Mentor Dude on his shit for giving Brennan crap about just being good in bed and not worthwhile as a partner. But Brennan's response was awesome... "Yes, I AM good in bed."

She's cool.

Bionic Woman = still not cool. She's an Alias wanna be without the kicks. And little sister is boring mainly because it's:

Lil Sis: You're mean and I hate you!
Jamie: I can't handle this! I'm a secretly tortured part-robot and you're responsible for holding me back because I have to take care of you!
Lil Sis: You're SO mean! You don't even remember to kick the bad guy with your TWO bionic legs, vs. your one non-bionic arm! I want Dad!
Jamie: You don't wanna live with Dad!

Meanwhile, Sarah sits to the side and is hot. Why isn't the show about the real Bionic Woman?

end.

I'm actually ok with Booth not defending her. Because it's not his fight, it's Brennan's, and if she doesn't see a need to change the guy's opinion of her, that's good enough for him. just 'cause he thinks she's the awesomest of the awesome doesn't mean anything.

And I loved Brennan's reply about the sleeping together thing. Because it was so honest that it made OMD look like an idiot for saying so.

I've seen one episode of Alias and was incredibly unimpressed. BW is better than that one episode.

It is not, however, better than Painkiller Jane, which had very similar themes (girl gets involved with government agency accidentally because she has Special Powers, and ends up working for them in black ops situations...)

And, really, Buffy should be calling any day now, about the whole "Normal Girl in Extraordinary Situations" angst.

If the show were about Sarah, our screens might explode from the hot?

just 'cause he thinks she's the awesomest of the awesome doesn't mean anything.

Hee. this is true. Though part of me just wants more Brennan kicking ass, please. But I love Brennan/Dad bits, and the way Booth is like the surrogate son-in-law.

I've seen one episode of Alias and was incredibly unimpressed. BW is better than that one episode.

I think it depends on what season you've seen (the first two are an entirely different show and awesome... particularly for the Sydney/Anna hotness because Gina Torres is hot) as well as whether you're more of a scifi fan or a spy stuff fan... All of it requires a suspension of disbelief, I guess, but it just depends on what world you buy into more.

But yes, Buffy totally invented the whole "Normal Girl in Extraordinary Situations" area, and at least she was an actual normal girl, y'know? Unlike Jamie, who apparently is brilliant as well, and worth stalking for two years... or whatever the hell is going on.

If the show were about Sarah, our screens might explode from the hot?Word. But KS can

[lyssie]

I think it's just that Jennifer Garner can't act. I watched the pilot, actually, and given that her fight scene with the chair was ripped directly from Charlie's Angels... It was sad. Plus, Drew Barrymore is far hotter.

Honestly, I had the same problem with it that I'm having with BW, actually: all the conspiracy shit that seems utterly pointless on top of the OMG Look How Normal She Is!!!!!!!11!!! crap.

If you want to get technical, Marvel and DC have the lock on THAT little gem, and have for years.

I did buy the thing with the woman, and I did buy her saying "maybe I should..." but I'm really hoping she says "fuck all of you" soon and goes rogue. Then she and Sarah can trade snark, keep her baby sister from destroying the internet, and kill Bad Guys.

Honestly, I think the woman on the bridge was as much of a setup as the dude in the bookstore with THE DOG and Miguel F. walking in on her drunken shenanigans. Not to mention, I wonder who really put that dossier under boringman's floorboard?

[morwen_peredhil]

I wish the show was all about Sarah, since she's a hundred times more compelling than its actual star.

[lyssie]

As do I. sigh.

I loved the comment from Booth "there are little blue pills for that" in the car after wigging about his age!

[lyssie]

*snicker* Yes!
