catching up on TV
Mar. 1st, 2006 12:53 pmlast weekend's stuff:
SG-1 - looove that look on Daniel's face (hunched shoulders, scrunched face with a silly fake grin) when Carter made some comment to him in the alternate dimension - reminded me of an anime character. So cute and funny! I giggled out loud. Love Teal'c swinging and missing, but not hesitating a single second to do it. Heeee!
Love the dynamic between Teal'c and Mitchell. It's not quite friends like with Teal'c and anyone else on SG-1, but it's friendish, and Teal'c smiles a lot. I like that.
Atlantis - Um, Teyla, Tri...Michael is TIED DOWN and at your mercy and for the moment, he's still human. Please stop tearing off the cuffs and start tearing off the clothes. Gods, woman, where are your priorities? All that fighting was foreplay, couldn't you tell? And, Ronon, what the HELL was up with your hair? Guess even alien hot guys have bad hair days.
Battlestar Galactica - OK, so it's the Caprican Cylons show this week, complete with that annoying "blank hours ago" tag. We got more glimpses of the 12, learned that Six is just as wacked out with her own Harvey as Baltar is on Galactica, and watched Caprica Six and Caprica Sharon let the pretty human boy (Spoon!) go because love conquers all. We also got more Caprica Xena. I love Lucy Lawless. Gaius Baltar Harvey is very annoying. I'm confused about the shuttle shooting off into space. Does that mean that the surrogate mother is leaving the fleet? I also wonder if she isn't one of the Cylon models that we haven't seen yet. Something's not right there.
McLeod's Daughters - well, I'm just biding my time until the end of Season Three, because WE has decided not to continue airing it after Season Three is done. It's on Season Six in Australia, and apparently very popular, but no. I can't even get the DVDs because they're not available in Region 1. They're advertising the hell out of Cross Country with John Edward or some crap like that. Sorry, I'd rather watch a show with strong, resourceful women and hot, sweaty Australian ranchhands than John Edward.
Charmed - Oooookay. So, all this time we've had it drilled into our brains that the Charmed Ones are the Big Good and they're only that powerful when they're three (witness replacing Prue with the not so charming and out of the blue Paige), and nothing else can top them, except maybe the Charmed Offspring Wyatt and Chris. Now, in the last leg of the race, we're supposed to believe that the Ultimate Power the Charmed Ones need to defeat is Blombe Bimbo Witch? Um, no. Not on.
I like Ivan Sergei. He's cute. I'm having a lot of trouble believing the whole premise of Henry and Paige, though. I get him as a Force of Good, and I even caught an inkling of how having those mortal connections actually makes the Charmed Ones more powerful, but alas, I so did not believe the whole rush to not just have the engagement party, but to get married, instead. It was a pretty dress, though. The engagement party plot was anti-climactic for me, since Paige and the other girls and Henry went round and round about no, no, we have to cancel so we can take care of the Triad, and then that takes them all of what, a minute or two? Whatever.
Cupid, on the other hand. Mmmmm. Charmed History indicates that the girls do not tend toward mortal boyfriends. I think that Phoebe should just shag the hell out of BoyToy Cupid (who as Cupid should necessarily be incredible in the sack), healing her psyche and heart a little in the process of having all that fantabulous magical sex. Then, if she wants to, she can think about finding some guy that they'll foist on us in the last two episodes who will be the Love of Phoebe's Life and will want to marry her immediately, so we can end the whole show with yet another wedding. Nice shoutout for Cole - acknowledging his enormous place in Phoebe's history and tying this season back to older ones.
No Numb3rs or Crossing Jordan.
