fembuckDag, Ugly Betty! Dag!
Holy crap! So many different emotions all mixed together.
First of all I have to say that I didn't think it was possible for me to love Amanda any more than I already did, but I think that it actually happened this episode! Every scene she was in was pure genius. Becki Newton is a superstar, she really is. From "Ewww, dorkus interruptus" to "You want to kiss me?" to "You can kiss me now" to "You're drunker than usual" to "Now my special place is ruined!"/"Your special place was ruined a long time ago!" to
basically everything she did this episode. So much love I can barely stand it. Also, Amanda is Fey's daughter! Dag, yo! Heh, I hope her father is who she says he is, because if Bradford is her father, then we're getting into some real Petrelli-ish action over on UB, lol.
Also, Willi and "Marco" were so sweet this episode. The montage of Willi/Marc love was one of the funniest things I've seen. When they got to the part where they were hitting each to make it look like Claire had put a hit out on Willi I was dying laughing. The fact that it was all played to Vanessa's new cover of "The Way We Were" just made it so much sweeter.
The Claire in prison stuff was pretty funny. I kept getting Prison Break flashbacks which just made everything that much funnier. From "Fish" to "Bitch" in just a few short weeks, ah, the Meade magic in effect again. Judith Light looks badass with a gun!
Finally, some redemption for Alexis. I love Alex and Daniel together when they're being sibling-y with each other, and the continuing plot line of them feuding just always seemed really contrived and stupid to me. I mean you can be competitive, but they were writing Alexis as almost sociopathic with her disregard for how her actions affected others, and her illogical grudge against Daniel. So I was glad to see her display some genuine concern for Daniel who really did need his "brother" to be there for him. Mabius and Romijn really rocked that scene.
Which is where my "Dag, yo!" comes in. The Meade siblings have finally made up and then CRASH! Alexis is undone by her own scheming and selfishness ... and she takes her brother with her. I think they'll be okay, in fact I'm sure Daniel will, but I hope Alexis is okay too. Romijn drew me into the show so I have a fondness for Alexis and want her to make it.
SANTOS!!!!! *cries* I knew that something bad was going to happen when he walked into that store *sobs* I know that they probably wrote this when Kevin Alejandro thought that he would be employed for a while with Drive, but since that didn't happen, I hope that they it can be "he's in critical condition and the doctors don't think he'll make it ... BUT he makes a miraculous recovery" type deal since they never actually said that he was dead. It's all just too sad for me!
Overall, DAG, YO! I can't wait 4 months, I want more now, now, now!!!!

Date: 2007-05-19 08:32 pm (UTC)I feel your pain. I have no friends or coworkers who watch this show. It really makes me wonder about the people I associate with in RL. *shakes head*
you'll always be my bitch...but there is a 2 week period when i'll have to refer to you as fish, first
*twirls* Such an honor! I'll be the very best fish/bitch you ever did see, governor, that you ever did see!
well except that is quite possibly the best montage ever!!
I love it. It never gets old. I've watched it a couple of times now and it's still hilarious.
oh, kristen chenoweth has a weird hotness that both disturbs and excites me
*sigh* I feel like I'm missing out on the strange Cheno hotness. I like her, but I just don't get the hotness. Oh well, I'll just have to enjoy her comedic timing and delivery and singing voice. That's plenty I think.
new season of boondocks starts in june.
Sweet! So sweet! Also, must get to Silver Snail and purchase Y!

Either way, it was such an amazing season finale, wasn't it. I really hope everyone will be ok, but I'm somewhat afraid for Santos and Alexis...

Date: 2007-05-19 08:34 pm (UTC)That would be totally wild! I doubt the show would actually go there (though they did have Daniel hit on Alexis before she told him who she was) but it would be so totally awesome if they did. And really, it would be totally soap opera which is totally in line with the show.
I really hope everyone will be ok, but I'm somewhat afraid for Santos and Alexis...
Me too! I love both those characters and I want them both back. There's still so much story for both of them. *cries*
