Fab's back on Aussie TV!
That's right, it's Monday night again, which means my weekly appraisal of 24, Queer as Folk, and Buffy. I'll try to make the 24 spoilers only visible when highlighted, but not the rest :) First, an update on you know, that real life thing. Have an earache. Ugh. Gothboy hasn't called, I might message him when I get credit. Coz you know, still cute. Came back from Sydney today, so pretty much altogether very, very boring. Am giving Nina shoes. Have uni tomorrow. Didn't mention that I have my Matchbox CD back before. I did, my cousin was borrowing it but I finally got it back, which is fortunate, coz I missed it. I mean I actively thought "I wish I could hear from 'More Than You Think You Are' right now." Moving on now, tv :)
24 spoilers: Okay, we all know Jack's going to be okay, but that moment when Prez Palmer was talking to him on the phone and crying was *so* good. Jack being all brace and shit was cool too. Anyone who didn't see the shooting of that Kate-related guy coming must be completely clueless. I'm gonna go not very far out on a limb and say that the chick who wanted to get rid of Mason is one of the 3 spies form next week. Much as I hate bitch-wife woman, I don't really think she's a spy. I'm hoping and praying Tony Almeida and Reza aren't spies coz I really like them, and I'm also hoping Prez Palmer's assistant-woman isn't either. Other than that they can go where they like.
24 spoilers done.
Moving on to Queer as Folk, and everything *but* Justin/Ethan was really not very interesting tonight. Naked Ted, not something I wanted to see. I really just don't care when he gets his own storyline. Geisha Emmett was adorable, though :D and the fizzling of Ben's party was done well. It was somewhat predictable that he'd gotten sicker as soon as he got pissed off at Michael. The treatment of Brian was very harsh, but necessary to build some Justin/Ethan, which has become very quickly my second favourite OTP on Queer as Folk. (By the way, I found out OTP stands for One True Pairing. So okay, second OTP doesn't make a hell of a lot of sense, but you know what I mean.) I realise that Brian really does love Justin, but it's necessary to hurt Brian for this storyline to work, which I appreciate. I also appreciate the way they continued the violin music through the Brian/Justin scenes to highlight the tension, and Justin's mind being completely occupied by Ethan. And how *gorgeous* is that boy? "I'd give you breakfast in bed," "I see you as noble and sentimental..." *drools* Damn, I hate Justin. Oh gee, I have to choose between Ethan and Brian. How terrible for me. Two drop-dead gorgeous gay men want me, whatever am I going to do. Bitch.
I liked Selfless more than I thought I would. D'Hoffryn was particularly cool, he still makes an awesome bad guy. His insights into the characters were very interesting. Good quotes: "Isn't that just like a Slayer. Solving all her problems by sticking things with sharp objects," "I think we all know what lady hack-away wants," The killing of Halfrek was just amazing, and *so* effective. I also liked the breaking of tension with flashbacks, my favourite being Olaf as a troll, with the very funny, very literal subtitles. The one that suited my own odd little sense of humour best was when "Yarrrgh" was translated to "Arrrghh." I also liked the continuity with the mustard song, niiiiice. What's with those weird tops with the tie-waist things that Buffy keeps wearing? White in Lessons, black in this one. Ugly shit. (see I can notice this stuff coz I read the eps ahead of time and it's been so long since I you know, saw the clothes and stuff)
Hair update: Definitely faded. Most disappointing.
Link of the day is
Okay, I found a couple nice Spike pics at a quotes site that wasn't interesting in its own right. The girl who makes it has taste. So today's pics of the day are some nice Spike screencaps and a couple LotR boys at the SAGs, mostly coz Sean looked cute hosting. I was hoping for at least one pic of Sean with the others, but no such luck, and everybody knows about my distinct lack of a fondness for Billy Boyd, so not many of the Sags pics appealed to me. I've decided to use LJ cut tags to do this thing, so the pics from the LiveJournal are in my Comments section. Other blogs are as normal though.
Me? A bit of a thing for "Lessons" Spike? Maybe just a *little*...
Isn't there just a weird gangster feeling to that last one? I'd like to take this opportunity to say both Dom and Sean looked just gorgeous, and I love Dom't little hat. See, he dresses oddly and looks good. Orli just looks...well, stupid.
Yes I am
I hope you think you read me
Hope I start talking crazy before you think you understand me
Are we through
You think that I'm beneath you
But you like the things that I do
Wrap em up and take em with you
