TV Theme of the Night: Drugs Are Bad!

annundrielWent with Mom to the dentist this morning. Read HBP in the waiting room. Approximately half-way through. Writing thoughts down as I go. Then went to Ephrata and bought Jason Mraz's "Waiting For My Rocket To Come." Got home and found invitation to bridal shower. Luckily Neesha was invited, too, and I'll have a date. Yea. Didn't want to go by my lonesome. Thought Crimes still has not come. Maybe tomorrow.
So there's all this fuss about the filming of The DaVinci Code. My thoughts? It's sold as a work *fiction*. Get over it.
I watched "Kinetic" today with Major Lorne. Majorly weird. Not nearly as fun as "Zero" with Jonas.
Smallville's "Kinetic"
So, it turns out the episode with Major Lorne is actually the episode immediately before the one with Jonas.
- It's gonna be hard to watch this, isn't it? Now that I've seen Lorne be, well, Lorne and not some teenager going "woo" and making those really stupid barking noises. Oh Lorne.
- Aw, Lex luvs him some doofy Clark.
- Lex/Chloe. It could happen. "I look forward to resuming our verbal judo." Ha! And smiles from both of them. Aw.
- They have freaking *terrible* security at Luthor Manor. You would think with all of that money people would have some trouble beating the crap out of Lex, but nooooo.
- Lex lives at 2116 Beresford Lane.
- Where'd Chloe go? How is it that normal people can get away from super speedy Clark?
- Clark is *dense*. It must come from being the "man of steel." I knew a Steele once. He was a bit dense, too.
- Doing one of the housekeepers, huh? Slut.
- Lex has got some pretty neat stuff locked away in that safe. But why have pretty pottery if you're not gonna show it off? Is the fact that you own it and you know it's there enough?
- Go, Chloe! But, whoops, not out the window. Whoa. That's a long way to fall.
- Somebody sAAAAAAAAAAAAve meeeeeeee. The song may get/be annoying, but it will always be fun to belt along with that.
- Y'know, maybe it's kind of dumb, but I really do like the opening credits. They're not the best ones out there, but they're fun and make me grin. :)
- Feel the guilt, Clark.
- There's Lorne - Kavan Smith. Now what's his name on the show?
- Why doesn't Lex care about what was stolen? It's because of the disc they took, I bet. (Honestly, I can't remember.)
- Ew, Lana. But, hey Whitney! Long time, no see. Except on Ginger Snaps: Unleashed. (Perv.) [Oh, hey, we could play "Six Degrees of David Hewlett" or something. Eric Johnson (Whitney) was in GS:U with Janet Kidder who was in Century Hotel with DH. Who is obviously in SGA with Kavan Smith.] Run away from Lana. Hook up with Chloe. He was even concerned about her. Aw.
- How'd they do that to make it look like Clark was chopping wood with his hand? That's kinda neat. But also dangerous. If his parents walked in (like they did just now) and he didn't realize it, splinters could go flying and get in their eyes. Geez.
- Oh, Jonathon, you and your platitudes. Actually, Martha and Jonathon are both a little annoying. But I still like season one through three Martha. Season fourth Martha sucked (like Jeff).
- I like how Clark doesn't pick up *any* of the mess he made in the barn. Way to be a responsible farm worker there Clark.
- They sort of make Nell out to be a bad person, but it seems to me that she's just trying to do what she thinks is best for herself and for Lana.
- Why is there an arm in the bank vault door?
- OK, so at least evil!Lorne has nice arms.
- Oh! The one dude has a fake arm. That's why there's an arm in the door. When he reintegrated (or whatever) his arm got caught in it. Whoops.
- "For Lionel Luthor's Eyes Only." Who actually writes that on anything? Apparently Lionel Luthor.
- "Yeah? Well you're supposed to be the best private security firm in Metropolis." Yeah? Well haven't you noticed how sucky they are before this? Huh, Lex? Granted, you are only in season one.
- "If you try anything stupid, even if you think a stupid thought..." ha.
- Evil!Lorne has pretty eyes.
- He tells Lex to turn around so Lex turns around and *bends over*?? Um. OK.
- I bet Whitney would just like to kick Clark upside the head. Clark's pretty happy where he is, and poor poor Whitney just wants to get the hell away. Aw, Whitney.
- Everyone on this show has pretty eyes. What's with that?
- Evil!Lorne = Wade.
- Now, hey, here's a thought. What if Major Lorne was Lorne from Angel instead? I bet Sheppard would spend a good deal of time staring at him, just like he did with Hermiod. And then they could have a Karaoke night and Lorne could read everyone. C'mon! It'd be great! And he'd make cocktails and call Shep "cupcake" and McKay "sugar."
- OMG!!! Wade's girlfriend is Kate (Evangeline Lilly) from Lost! Wow, that was random for her. No lines, just suck face.
- "Be the truck! Be the truck! Bethetruckbethetruckbethetruck!" Guys are *weird*.
- "Well I am perturbed with you, Clark. I'm also mad that you didn't put out the Chicago fire of 1871. Or prevent the fall of the Roman empire, making you directly responsible for the Dark Ages." Hee. ("Well, they didn't call them the Dark Ages because they were dark.")
- Aw, Clark/Chloe. Clark, you be DUMB.
- "Thanks for telling me. You're a good friend." Wow, the Clark/Lana dialogue is pretty lame.
- Sometimes SV is like Lassie. "What, Clark? Lex has fallen in the well again? Whitney's in trouble?"
- And Clark saves the day once again. After Whitney shows that he's not so into the whole threaten and torture gig.
- "I put the fear of God in him." Lex doesn't scare all that easily, it seems to me. And if someone's going to put the fear of God into him? It's not probably gonna be you Wade. Sorry. You're kind of, well, beneath him.
- "Clark, you can't save the world. All you end up with is a Messiah complex and a lot of enemies."
"I saved you, didn't I? That turned out all right."
::smile, part-grin, look through lashes, change subject:: Aw.
- "A man is measured by the quality of his friends." It really does mean something to Lex that Clark is his friend. But what's it say that Clark's his only real friend?
- Aw, Pete!
- Oh, this is there "drugs are baaaad" episode. One of them.
- Goa'uld Lana is so going to turn Whitney into her first Jaffa. Or maybe that will be Clark's position...
- "Keep looking. It's gotta be here somewhere." Clark, it's really suspicious when you say that, pause for two seconds, and then go to the exact place it's hidden.
- Wade adding "bro" to every sentence is really annoying, bro.
- Yea Lex! Saving Clark for once! So calm and cool with his tazer thing.
- Lex is right. Clark *should* have called Lex and told him. It's his business after all.
- Wade got smushed by a car! Oh no! Or, rather, yea! 'Cause bad guy. But isn't it kind of wrong of clark to let him get smushed? Even if he is the bad guy? Wouldn't the right thing for "Superman" to do would be to save them both and then let the authorities handle it?
- "I didn't come out here for that, Clark. I came because my friend was in trouble."
"Thanks."
"You're welcome. Now let's go home and shag." ;)
- Even Lana's file folders are pink. Oh, wait, it might be red. Hard to tell.
- "Wish me luck."
"You don't need it." Lana doesn't need luck because she is a GOA'ULD. (Really? I just like saying goa'uld. With all of the vowels. Heh.)
- Funnily enough, I could almost go with the Lex/Lana thing if their relationship was still this friendly one of season one. But now Lana's agoa'uld alien bitch. Kind of. Anyway, it just doesn't work for me in season four because of how the writers are pushing the characters and their relationships. In fact, I think Lana should just be alone. Spend some time outside of a relationship and find out who she really is instead of spending time as "[fill in the blank]'s girlfriend."
- "...you can register the building as an historic landmark..." Yea! Not only did they get it grammatically correct, but Lana actually pronounced it right! Yea!
- "I think this could be the start of a very interesting partnership." And they smile at each other. And, damn, I could go with *this* Lex/Lana, I really could. Scary. omg, goa'uld!Lana's gotten me, too!
Also watched SG-1's "Need." Funny that I just happen to watch two episodes where the theme seems to be "Drugs are bad, don't use them." Just need to add that whole Willow-Dark Magic-Addiction Buffy arc now. "Need" may not be the best episode, but I love the scene between Jack and Daniel near the end.
JACK: "What are you gonna do, Daniel? You wanna kill me?"
::Daniel falls apart some more::
JACK: "Oh, God, look at you. I know what this is. I know what it's like."
::Daniel teary, but still crazy w/gun::
JACK: "You can get through it."
DANIEL: "No! No!"
And then Jack slides over to where Daniel's sitting and takes the gun away and just *holds* him. Daniel just sobs. Jack cradles him, really. Rocking him and cradling him like you would a child in need. This is another one of those moments where it's just obvious that Jack loves Daniel. And Daniel loves and trusts Jack.
And, god, I just love this whole scene. Because before the hug and the comfort, it's really just the camera on their faces, black around the rest mostly. And then the embrace and you're still right there with them and it's just really good.
Also, Daniel's got bare feet in this scene and that just tickles me. :)
Yeah, I'm fantastic at articulating things. ::eyeroll::
Besides reading HBP, I'm also working through Finding Serenity: Anti-heroes, Lost Shepherds and Space Hookers in Joss Whedon's Firefly, a collection of essays about various aspects of Firefly. It's pretty interesting. All of the essays are pretty good; a couple have been a bit over my head though. For example, "We're All Just Floating in Space" by Lyle Zynda was somewhat hard to follow because all of the existential philosophy. But it's good. Has helped me appreciate the show even more. And reminded me just how much I love Zoe and Wash and their relationship.
Thursday Mom and I head to Seattle to baby-sit the twins for the weekend. Yea! Should be fun.

Date: 2005-08-17 07:50 pm (UTC)I need to burn that Mraz CD. I've got the "Living Room Concert" if you're interested. It's got some nifty songs on it. Oh, and I have 2 of his songs that weren't released that I just *adore* that I need to subject you to.

Date: 2005-08-18 01:11 am (UTC)Sure I'm interested! We'll have to trade sometime. And I'd love to hear the other ones. :)
Your icon makes me giggle. :)
