The Locket

WOOP! WOOP!

Okay, I said earlier that the locket was an ep I didn't really like. For some reason, this ep is weird. I like it when I'm watching it, but afterwards, it goes back to being 'just okay'. It's freaky that way. I guess I got affected by that center halo thingie, right?

Okay, yeah, so, this is the spastic revisitation of TL. First, the 'other junk':

AAAAIIIEEE! YESYESYESYESYESYES! COMMERCIAL FOR SEASON 3! With new clips from season 3! Altho, all we really get to see is D'Argo in a funky mask, Pilot, and Scorpy (who was looking rather shagged and fagged and fashed, if you ask me... Whoa. Lymey must lay off the Clockwork Orange. Woop?). Okay, Scifi. Now, give us a more detailed commercial. Please? Pleeeeeeeease? With cherries on top?

I actually watched Jules Verne tonite, because I'm at home and my mom was on the comp. It's actually a pretty decent show! Too bad SciFi is gonna stick it with that utter pile of dren, Black Scrapion (misspelling intended) on Saturday nites.

Primer gooood. Zhaan goooood. Stark gooooood. DK still evil, but less evil than last week. Which is gooooood.

Oh, I was watching Dogma later this evening, which, btw, I think is an absofrellinglutely hilarious movie, and there's this part where Metatron says to Bethany "Or what, you'll hit me with that ffffffffish?" and the camera goes back to her, and she's holding this HUGE fish. I suddenly went, "OMG! BETHANY SLOAN IS A MEMBER OF IDGET!" and then snerked for a while.


Now, on to the spasticity, shall we?

This spastic revisitation brought to you by Gingko Biloba, because, dammit, they shoulda REMEMBERED!

-I love love love the teaser and tag for this ep. I always have. Mebbe cause Crichton's doing the puppydog eyes, and, well, TL just is a mushy ep that makes me all, uhm, mushy (Which, incidentally, is prolly another reason I don't like it as much as I could - I generally hate ANYTHING that makes me feel all mushy). Oh, yeah, and Aeryn give Crichton a BIG FRELLING GRIN in the tag, where she goes, 'Well, if something had happened between us, I'm sure we'd remember.' Mmm-hmm. You bet yer fur I would.

-Okay, I cannot resist mentioning the duracell commercial with the burglar breaking into the house who gets attacked by the vorpal puppy. I swear, that was such a homage to the Vorpal Bunny in Monty Python and the Holy Grail that I fell on my ass rofling.

-Freak me out moment: Aeryn and Crichton. REALLY OLD. It's just... freaky.

-Old Man Crichton reminds me of my Granpa. Which is another freaky thing. He even kinda dresses like him... not to mention that he *sounds* like my Granpa, especially when he makes that comment about 'chasing beautiful women up and down the hills'. A guy who makes you go <THUD> should NOT remind you of your granpa.

-Monj, Monj, Monj. You know we love you, right? Right? But, I mean, c'mon... reverse starburst? Kinda cheeeeezy. And Pilot's doing his Scotty impression, sans accent: "Cap'n! We cannae do it!" Altho, the CGI of the reverse starburst looked cool.

-Awwwwwwwwww. Old Farts Aeryn and John talking about the image inside the locket. Be still, my shippy heart. And then I snerked at the comments that go something like:
J - Naw, I don't want to see his ugly face.
A - He wasn't ugly, you know.
J - You keep talking bout him and you can walk home alone. You can roll down the hill home (or something. I dunno. My memory is deserting me, blame it on the strawbly icecream.)

-ZeroWing ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US moment: When things start going wonky back on Moya, and time starts slowing down: Zhaan yells "What's happening?" and the way it sounded soooooo reminded me of the bit in the ZeroWing vid where someone goes, 'WHAT HAPPEN!' (Someone set up us the bomb! What you say!! Main screen turn on! AHH! Stop me before I do the whole thing!)

-Random thought: Monj likes to be the first to kill characters. He was the first to kill Crichton, and the first to kill Aeryn. He was, btw, second to 'kill' Rygel (AHR)... Froony beat him to that one, hehe. Who will be the Murderous Monj's next victim!?! Stay tuned and find out!

-AAaaaah. TL. The episode that began the end-of-season marathon of Stark Bashing. Poor Stark.

So. There we go. TL is still not one of my favorite eps, but it has moved up a few notches in the ranks for season 2. Now, uhm... Can we have SoD a week early? Please? PLEAAAAASE! I am being forced to spoilerwhore on an hourly basis here!

LBT, spoiler whore and spastic reviewer at large.
