castalieHey apparently today is Pi Day. Well, not here, mind you - today is 14.3, not 3.14, and there's obviously no 14th month, so it can't ever be the third of it, see? Still... as a fan of Professor Charlie Eppes, I can't really ignore the reversed date after seeing the flist mention it, so a Happy Pi Day to you dorks out there :-)
So! I've finally watched TBD 1x03 aka "The World Will Break Your Heart" and I have an unhealthy kind of love for that show. I just have the bad feeling it'll be for naught andthose morons TPTB will cancel it and it makes me sad because omg that show is so bloody awesome! Incidentally it's a bit bloody, period, but hey, it might be gritty and all kinds of wrong - in the most delicious way - but it's also a lot of fun so, really, what's not to love. Feels like it has everything! ♥ ♥
When I say it's all kinds of wrong, I really mean that. Tommy having killed 'Uncle' Huey was already bad enough, but having Huey's widow ask him to take care of her late husband's wake and him accepting? Was so fucked up there's no words for it! Admittedly, there was just no way he could have refused, not without making the situation even more suspicious - which is saying something - but still! Kate coming to him for comfort was just so wrong! And he was comforting the son of the man he killed! I mean. Seriously! This is a whole new level of wrong here. And I'm into incest so that's saying a lot coming from me, you know that, right? The worst thing is that he was so completely sincere, too. I think it was the most twisted thing. Oh, Tommy!
And the poor guy is gonna break under the weight of his guilt, worries and responsibilities if he doesn't pay attention! How much more can a man take, I wonder? Dude, you're awesome *hugs Tommy*
Then we have my beloved Kevin. The boy can't win, can he? I wish he'd found the Perfect Beer or Scotch *sigh* But seriously man, it wasn't your fault! The Kosher wine was totally awesome. No, really! I'd have totally picked it over the scotch. If I drank alcohol and everything.
My favourite moment was, of course, when he couldn't talk on the phone and he took off. That's just... so real, in a way, you know? Main characters are so rarely seen fleeing something. As if being scared never really mattered and I just - I love how he was there for Tommy - and Jimmy - before, but the way he just fled, I don't know, it really made me ache for him. I wish we'd gotten a tag with Tommy going to see him or something in the same vein, though. Or just a scene with him. I'm really curious as to what he was doing, what he was thinking, stuff like that. Either we'll get a ref in the next episode or someone needs to write a coda for that episode. Slashy if possible, but I'll take gen, no problem. I'm easy sometimes!
Oh and another little Kevin!moment that I really loved is in the basement at the beginning when Jimmy stormed off; the way he was holding his hands, before crossing his arms over his chest and saying he was going to stay with Tommy and help him? I loved it! It lasts, like, a nanosecond but it was still awesome.
Jimmy now. God, I wanted to smack him one so many times throughout the episode. He's so fucked-up but contrary to the others, I don't want to hug him, just smack him, which is sad because he's so damaged and all... but I can't help it. He's a danger to himself and to others and I'm really in awe of Tommy and Kevin for always being there for him. I mean they're brothers, I know, but so many people would have just washed their hands off him...
And someone needs to tell me good things about Mama Donnelly because it's official, she's really starting to get on my nerves. Also I wonder if anyone thought of telling her what WhatsHerName actually did when Sean was being beaten up? I mean, from the way she behaves towards her I'd say no-one thought of mentioning the fact that The Girl actually turned against The Big Bad Thugs and tried to fight them. To help Sean. She could have run away, she could have just left him alone but she came back and she attacked one of them; with her little fists. She could have been killed! And the way Mama Donnelly is treating her? Oh man, it makes me angry. So, someone really needs to tell her. And if she still acts the same way, then she'll deserve some smacking too *nods* I'm not asking her to love The Girl - God, what's her name?! - but what about at least showing her some respect? Just a thought.
Changing the subject. The flashbacks? I love flashbacks so! It also really broke my heart to see how good Huey was with the boys. Man, the whole thing is just, yeah you guessed, wrong!
That show is like a huge roller-coaster; one moment I'll be laughing, the next I'll be cringing, the next I'll be holding my breath because, dude, the tension! It makes me feel a lot of things and I love it beyond the telling of it :-)
PS: is everyone in denial re the Last Episode of SG-1 Ever? Because I'm pretty sure I haven't caught a single episode cut on the flist. It is weird, though. No more Stargate SG-1 episode? Admittedly the past season I've missed more episodes than I've watched, but I still plan on catching up and it's still Stargate, you know?
