I, ET

Look! In the sky! It's a bird, it's a plane, it's...

A SPASTIC REVISITATION!

What, you were expecting Superman?


Lookie! Lookie! Remember about 3 weeks ago or so I was trying to do spastic reviews again? Well, I *had* done two that weekend - but then I got kinda distracted because there was some BAD SHIT that went down in New York City... so I figured it would be best that I not post for a little while. After all, it wouldn't have been appropriate and would've prolly made me look like a bigger jackass than I already am.

Anyway.

I've got a review here, for an eppy... It's I, ET! Yes, yes, that's right. I still haven't gotten around to IP1, IP2, TC, or Fractures. Yes, I am being a lazyass. But it's not just that - it's that I still can't watch really angsty eps at the moment. I promise... okay, I'll prolly break this promise... but I'm gonna try to get them done before january. That gives me... 3 months, right? Heh. Yah, yah, crack the whip on me, git my ass working. It would also help if I didn't spend my one day off where I'm not working or going to classes vegging out in front of the DVD player watching movies. Mmmmm, Lucy Liu.... *drool*

Er, where was I? Oh yah, review thingie.

-There is no sponsor this ep. Honestly. I can't think of anything that's not less than mildly stupid to put as a sponsor. SO SUE ME, OKAY?! Wait, don't. I'm broke. Don't sue me! Don't sue me!

-Hee. DRD's have disco lights. Why don't we ever get to see the funky DRD disco lights again?

-"Don't do that at me." "What?" "THAT!" awwww, true love... *snicker*

-"It couldn't actually be doing something to my brain, could it?!" Oooh, I kinda like the look of Panicked-Is-My-Brain-Okay-Crichton. No, dear, the messing with your brains comes later this season. Hee. But that's not a very convincing twitch, hon. I should know.

-Oooo, I like Aeryn's boots. Oh, look, I'm turning into Stevepalmer... I want to kidnap someone's boots now.

-Heh. Aeryn said crap. I don't know why it's funny, but it strikes me as one of the 'Words Aeryn would never use'.

-Something I noticed... it's interesting how in the beginning of the series everybody calls Aeryn by her first name while they call Crichton by his last name. You'd think that's kind of odd - maybe that it'd be the reverse - because, after all, Aeryn IS one of the bad guys. I'm kinda surprised no one ever called her 'Sun'... altho Crichton does call her "Ms. Sun" in EFG... oh, look, I went on a tangent.

-"If she can't she can't. We can stick our heads between our legs and kiss our asses goodbye." OMG! The LOOKS that gets! Like 'Did he just say what I think he said?' not to mention that whole speech of John's was soooooooooo out of a John Wayne western or something.

-That doesn't look like Erp. It looks like a golf course. *pause* Wait, okay, then I guess it looks like Erp.

-PROXIMITY ALERT! WOOWOOWOO! John and Aeryn in a very small place getting banged around... yes, I am a shipper. Yes, I could find shippiness everywhere if I so deigned. Is deigned a word? Anyway, I could find it everywhere and anywhere... but uhm... I'm going to restrain myself. Hee.

-that is some coooooooooooooooool-ass CGI of Moya landing in that swamp. I love the big ol' wave it puts up... that was just cool. Look, I'm turning into beavis and butthead over here. "That was cool. Uh huh huh huh huh."

-hmmm. John and Aeryn, you guys are still standing in that space there, still hangin on each other, and the ship is no longer moving. *waggles eyebrows* Suuuure, I believe it when you say you don't like each other... uhuh, riiiiiiight.

-"It grabs you, it sucks you down -" Help, help, I'm being repressed! Now you see the violence inherent in the system! Er, sorry. Every time Rygel does his mud rant, I think of Dennis from Monty Python and the Holy Grail. 'Dennis, there's some lovely filth over here!'

-"Does this bother you? Be cause it bugs the CRAP out of me!" *snerk* Yeah, have you ever had a twitchy eyelid? I swear. Make me wanna stab my OWN eyes out.

-"Who's yoda?" "Just a little green guy. Trains warriors." Hmm. Little Green guy... Yoda... Rygel... little green guy... OH MY GOD Rygel is Yoda's evil twin! Now I have this totally wrong mental image of Yoda/Rygel porn, btw.

-*snicker* The inferior human has to show the supposedly superior Luxan and Sebacean how to use their own technology.

-K, when the ppl are looking for them, did anyone get major X-Files vibes? The UT version of Mulder and Scully are after you, Crichton!

-make alien noises? Okay, that sounded like a monkey and a rhino. Having sex. Painful sex. Deal with THAT mental image. Also, if you listen to the commentary on the DVD, this is the part where Anthony goes 'This scene was total CRAP!'... which makes me snicker like a little bitch.

-LOOK! LOOK! It's the pleasure vibe 2000!

-mmm, Crichton, I'll feel you, if you want... *waggles eyebrows* Yes, the man's laying paralyzed in an alien's kitchen and I'm having lascivious thoughts. Did you really expect better of me?

-"I'm gonna recover from this, right?!" Yeah, we don't want you limp Crichton. *snicker* Take that as you will.

-Aeryn and D'Argo, sittin in a tree, F-I-G-H-T-I-N-G...

-I just sorta noticed that this whole ep kinda reminds me of the Outer Limits.

-"... a gazillion of your empirical facts about science and religion are wrong or completely suspect..." Damn straight. See, this is one of the lines that makes me think Crichton certainly was never religious... and it sounds definitely like he's questioning whatever beliefs he may have had. I know that being thrust into such a situation would definitely make me rethink all of my religious beliefs, if I had any.

-Rygel MD. The MD stands for 'Muppet Doctor'.

-Cool shot down the hall when Zhaan passes out and Rygel's yelling for Pilot. I like how they did that speeding up time thingie. Time lapse, I think it's called...

-Oooo, nasty muppet bite. Vicious Muppet!

-Heh. Question: Why are they recieving a picture when they're talking to Pilot over the radio? I mean, there's not any cameras that could be transmitting the image out to a *radio*, is there?

-Dammit, Crichton. Don't tell that chickie that you're escaped prisoners. That is a Not Smart idea.

-Heh. I wonder what Deneans do if they don't kiss, ey?

-Eew, Rygel's tasting the chlorium. Bad Hynerian.

-the scene where Rygel and Zhaan are laying with their heads next to each other... okay, I know this is totally wrong, but it SO looks like Zhaan needs to take a drag of a cigarette and ask Rygel, 'So, was it good for you?'

Okay. So there's my comments while watching I, ET. Nothing really intellectual, but what the hell do you expect from *me*? I'm a spazz, not a scholar. I ET will never be one of my favorite eps - it just doesn't appeal to me. Altho, it is definitely interesting seeing Crichton, who is new to all this space crap being thrust into the role of the first alien the deneans have contact with. It's kind of ironic.

Anyway. That's all. Now here I shall do my obligatory shameless website plug, even though my website hasn't been updated in quite some time: http://www.lymophilia.com. Spastic review archive, wallpapers, my bad fic, some sims pics, scapercon pics, blah, blah, blah, blah. OH, and other stuff too. Blah.

I'm gonna go take a nap now.
