dianora2I have to take a moment to thank Prison Break, which I realized, thinking about it tonight, is a show that has never, ever, let me down. I have never ended an episode of PB thinking, "Well, that sucked." Or even, "Well, that was kinda boring." It just delivers consistently week after week. For me, anyway. It's the little show that could, and does. *pets* "We'll figure it out. Together." "I like the sound of that." *swoon* SO GOOD. But I'm getting ahead of myself.
I was mostly spoiled for this episode, so the only gotcha! moment for me was showing Kellerman schooling the boys on how to pretend they were lying on the tape. That was genius. Michael tapping out Morse code on his leg while speaking? That boy is so talented. They really had me going for a moment, I didn't understand why the stupid FBI guy kept saying Lincoln was lying. LOL. Well done.
Was that really the president calling Kellerman, or a cleverly edited tape? It sounded too precise to be real. Hmmm. I was amused that the tactic to push the boys off the front page was to raise the terror alert level. Yeah, that sounds about right.
Sucre! I didn't realize how much I missed him until I saw him tonight. The ending slayed me, with the guy (who totally played Senor Rivera on General Hospital) covering for him. Aww.
I was extremely amused that even in the mentoring PSA Dominic did, he was wearing a partially unbuttoned shirt with no undershirt. Haaaaaaaaaa.
Sara figuring out Michael's message = love. Bellick figuring it out? Not so much.
The phone call seriously killed me. SO SWEET. "I was coming back to you..." Sigh. And next week, KISSING! WOOO HOOO. I cannot wait. Very excited for shipper squee next week.
As for 24, this was one of those filler episodes. Except for... Karen having to quit! Noooooo! That makes me sad. Except now she will be with Bill and they can be cute together, so that's something. Chad Lowe playing a weasel, ha ha ha. Loved Jack's brother turning on Jack and Pops. James Cromwell needs a haircut. Poor Walid, getting the shit kicked out of him for no reason. Regina King continues to annoy. Milo was awesome tonight. I think he likes Nadia, hee. Overall an uneventful episode, but had a couple of OMG moments, so that's cool.
I liked Studio 60 quite a bit tonight. Seriously, Danny in that turtleneck and jacket: YUM. More importantly, he was not total stalker guy tonight. Yay. Thank god he realized he was being an idiot and apologized. I had a feeling it would go down that way, but was relieved to be right. Note to Danny, your freaking out over a presumed snake is a hundred times cuter than faxing a girl letters of recommendation. (I really, really loved him freaking out over the "snake.") From what I can tell Jordan is going to relent a bit too quickly for my tastes, but, we'll see how it plays out.
Also, as the president of a major network, Jordan should really get the fuck over the fact that reality television performs well. It's shows like that that let her do shows like the UN show. Anyone who works in creative content knows that.
Lucy and Tom are just the cutest thing EVER even though the bit with him lying about the date and her finding out about it was predictable and contrived. Lucy Davis looked awesome in that dress, though. And the kiss was so sweet and adorable. Oh, Tom. Silly boy. I have faith he'll set things right, though, so it's all good. Also, Jack + Tom = LOVE. These two need to have as many scenes together as possible.
The Simon/Darius thing had better be wrapped up by next week. The guy who plays Darius rocked it tonight, though.
Cal was very cute with his snake problems. "What do you send in after the coyote?"
I completely understand why they're doing them, but the ads for other NBC shows try my nerves something fierce. Sigh.
Matt and Harriet: Yeah, it seems like they never really broke up, so it will probably be a good thing for them to do so for a while. Was cracking up at lukes5858, but I'm easy when it comes to Star Wars references. I was mesmerized by Sarah Paulson's hair in the outside scene; her dye job is AMAZING. Gorgeous.
Did I mention Brad looked hot in the turtleneck and jacket? I'm comfortable with that being the high point for me. That and Jack slamming Tom down into his chair. Heeeee.
Oh, and I watched The Hills but don't really have anything to say except, once again, Brody Jenner, ewww. And Heidi's birthday outfit was weird.
The guy who plays the Simon Cylon on Battlestar Galactica is going to be on General Hospital. Ha ha ha ha. That is a fandom collision of the most bizarre order. Apparently GH is going to attempt to have an actual storyline of some kind for its black cast members. I will believe it when I see it. ;P
I know my fanfic standards are possibly stricter than most, but, I don't think it's out of line to not want to read any story in which periods are not used at the ends of sentences. Is it?
I was in a really, really terrible mood for most of the day today, but I think I'm getting a bit better now. *deep breath*
