meathead makes everything funnier
Thanks so much to everyone who's commented with good thoughts for my kitty. It really means a lot and helps more than you know.
I shall now try to focus on the night of pretty men. :)
I think I fall a little more in love with Michael Scofield every week. He totally ALMOST CRIED when Linc was leaving. GAH. I love him so much. And that look he gets when he's desperately trying to salvage a plan that has gone off the rails, and his APOLOGY to the two women, and the way he laughed when50 Cent C-Note made the KKK joke -- LOVE. And he is still mailing cranes to Sara and I am convinced that when he finds out her father is dead he will try to contact her again because he will feel so sad for her. LOVE.
Never leave Sucre alone with an intellectual superior, it will not end well.
Totally knew Tweener was going to a different house, but I didn't expect it to be Chickie's. That was pretty great. And wow, okay, Mahone is A PSYCHO. Interesting that he is now essentially the bad guy, when that's not what I thought he would be. Rest in peace, Tweener, I won't miss you all that much. But I like the way you went out.
And ohnoes Sara! I am not worried for her fate but still, eeeeek!
I commented in![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
crossmymind's LJ that I'm not surprised that Linc didn't immediately figure out LJ going free was a trap, but Michael should have. I'm choosing to believe that Michael just didn't see the point because it wouldn't stop Linc from going.
Awwww, evil Kellerman totally likes Sara. How bizarre. And THREE WEEKS until the next episode?? AAARGH. I mean, I knew back when the season first started that there would be a break for baseball, but I had managed to put that out of my mind. THREE WEEKS? Not to mention the hiatus it will take in the winter. I really don't know how I'm going to manage it.
I'm still undecided on Heroes. I thought the ending was pretty cool and Greg Grunberg is love, but, eh. I'll probably keep watching for now just because nothing is on opposite it. And because the Indian guy is really hot.
Danny drives an SUV and that makes me love him a little less. So, I'm a little disoriented that Jordan got a lot of the best lines in this one. Amanda Peet is growing on me -- she's not there yet, but she definitely has potential. Having good dialogue helps. It's also entirely possible I'm becoming a bit of a Danny/Jordan shipper. It was kind of cemented when she gave Matt a chaste little kiss on the cheek and then totally planted a big one right on Danny's mouth. Plus I just think the whole idea of a network president sleeping with the executive producer of her hit show is really sexy. Okay, moving on.
Evan Handler is not being given enough to do. That said, I liked the scene with him and Danny and Ron when Ron had memorized the quote. Innnnteresting. Ricky and Ron are no Matt and Danny, and not just because they're not as good-looking.
My Simon love continues to grow exponentially. "Okay, seriously, I'm scared out of my mind." And introducing Tom to the hot girl! Hee.
Liked Harriet a lot, thought she had a point about the small towners. More importantly, I thought the bear thing was really funny and I'm not even sure why. But I laughed very hard. I also liked her pointing out the overload on religious jokes, playing the part of the audience. The Matt/Harriet scene at the party was the most adorable thing ever and her doing Holly Hunter for him was utterly charming and I am completely enamored of them as a couple. However, I don't buy for a second that Harriet wouldn't know how the focus groups work. It was a very Josh/Donna exposition moment.
Jack's 9/11 comment hurt, HARD, but I think it was supposed to, so okay. I liked the scene where he told her about her ex-boyfriend, felt very genuine.
I think they should show less of the sketches that are on the show, because seriously, they're not that funny. I was not a fan of that montage, I really wasn't. I'm guessing it won't become a habit because tonight it was just to show how they're on a roll or whatever, but still.
There are so many actresses who would have been a funnier Jeannie. Sigh.
Danny's line to Jordan about only endangering himself felt a bit too much like Sorkin trying to defend himself. Stop it, Aaron. You do shrooms for fuck's sake. That said, the expression on Danny's face when he sees the article...GAH. I'm so in love with this character already.
One of the awesome things about this show is having someone like Rob Reiner on and he's barely in it.
Danny and Cal yelling at each other across the stage was love. Danny at rehearsal with his arms draped over the sides of the chairbacks was also love, in a different way. Rowr.
Speaking of rowr: the sand scene. Holy LORD. Slashiest scene EVER. The way Danny was wriggling on top of him? OMG. Also, good job on the tackle and fall. "What should we do?" "Get off of me." And then they still had sand on their jackets later. Hee. Liked that Danny had the question put in there to rile Matt up. Also loved Matt's line about saying something about the Democrats if they would just say or do something. Amen, Matty, amen.
And Danny dancing with Harriet was so hot I can't even stand it. Okay, Harriet was kind of nonessential there, Bradley Whitford dancing like that was so hot I can't even stand it. SO HOT. He was so good! And limber. Did I say rowr? And I only imagined it was Josh and Donna dancing at their wedding for ONE SECOND, really. And I liked how it was Danny and Harriet fast dancing the week after Harriet making the comment about Matt being jealous if they slow danced. Nice.
The ending montage was lovely. Ending montage good, skit montage bad.
It pained my heart to see all the talk of audience retention when the retention for S60 has not been good. Wibble.
Almost forgot -- Happy Birthdayem_meredith! Hope it was a great one.

And there's a scene like the big three making jokes while the power flickers on and off. Or the bear thing, which was funny.

Did Danny drive the SUV again tonight? I was hoping that was his PA's car he drove in the pilot.
Sorkin needs to do a quick reveal on which characters are Jewish. I have a paper to write, dammit!

My love for Kellerman grows exponentially with every scene he is in. With my luck, he'll end up dead after the baseball hiatus.

Okay that made me laugh A LOT. Oy.

Oh my god yes! Yes, yes, yes. I think I just squealed a little.

I feel your pain. I have to wonder just what Sork's retention quota is.

As for Studio 60...
There are so many actresses who would have been a funnier Jeannie. Sigh.
True... but there are few actress that would have brought the sweet, gentle nature to a character that has basically been introdiced as Matt's friend with benefits. She could have easisly been "Sally" from Studio 60", instead she was something completely different. And yet as sweet as she is... she still has no problem calling Matt and Danny "Idiot Boys." I like that about her.

I did NOT have you restraint!!

And Jeannie isn't terrible, or anything, I just think she could be...better. Sigh.

Especially these, were exactly the things that stuck out for me the most:
-Danny and Cal yelling at each other across the studio. The way he said "akay" at the end was my Josh moment of the night.
-The dancing at the end.
-WHY did I laugh so hard at Harriet's bear thing?
-Sorkin's drug rationalization was a little much.
-Harriet is becoming Donna with the asking questions about polling, uh, ratings and talking about small towns where they make bread.

Yes. I have this fear that Sarah Paulson is tragically unfunny, which would be bad, as they're trying to convince us of how funny Harriet is. But when she busted out the (spot-on) Holly Hunter accent, I totally giggled. Maybe she's a little bit funny (to be clear, I want SP to be funny. I'm just not sure it's in her blood.).
Seriously. Harriet: "How do focus groups work?" Me: "Okay, Donna." Eh, he likes explaining things, and she lets him.
Me neither. Let's not do that again, okay, guys?
Yeah. She's a non-entity. I didn't even remember who she was, until someone called her by name. If she and Sarah Paulson end up being not funny, then things are going to be problematic.
I have love for Cal, and he's barely even been on. But I love watching him and Danny interact so much that it doesn't even matter. CAL.
I know. I'm not even a coveter of BW, so much, and I was thinking, "OH, that's the best thing EVER! Look at him DANCING! He never danced with Donna, not really. Stupid. But look at the dancing!"
Yay. S60.

Did you notice how he totally ogled her ass when she was walking away from him in the hall?
Oh, the HoYay! of the beach tackle. I love it!
Cal and Danny yelling across the stage was my favourite part.
no subject
I didn't, LOL. But then, that could just be Brad, since he does seem to have a habit of doing that sort of thing. *g*
no subject
Anyway, I also loved your mention of Josh and Donna...*sigh* Honestly, what is Janel Maloney up to? Why can't they just be the Tracy/Hepburn of TV and do everything together? I would always, always watch, and long, and long, and long. I mean, we had to wait so long for Josh and Donna and it was so worth it. I did notice Jordan kissed Danny on the mouth though, a dead give away of where that's headed. But then again, if given the chance, I'd kiss Danny on the mouth too. Even if it headed nowhere :)
