fembuckDon't get offended, as smoking hot as she is, you know you were kinda wondering if she could really act too! I know you saw Tru Calling and doubted, just as I did!
And now for some ramblings on The Sarah Connor Chronicles new episode ...
1. Stupid ass VCR cut off the first couple minutes of the show *sobs* I'm gonna have to download it now, cause I was like "whaaa ... where'd Kyle come from?" and I realized I probably missed something pretty important!
2. One thing I love about this show is that females are allowed to interact. I really liked Sarah's interactions with Felicia. And on a more pervy note, I really liked Riley and Jessie interacting again, but only because Riley's girl!crush presented itself again. Jessie changing her bandage, while Riley begged to be able to stay with herin bed for just an hour, was hot. Jessie is such a sexual predator sex goddess.
3. Red Delicious is a scary mofo. Seriously, watching her mo people down was so pretty, and badass, and scary as hell.
4. John Henry, you are creeping me out. I'm totally fascinated by you, and your new Daddy Ellison, so just keep up the good work.
5. Minimal John! Yay! ... ... ... minimal Cameron. NAY!
6. TRIP! ... you bastard! I was so happy to see Connor Trinneer being all southern and dapper and shit, and then he's a crazy ass abusive husband. Sorry, Trip, but in this I'm glad your ass got shot!
7. Lena is so good. She's so good. She's got chops that one, and she got to show them this episode.
I really like this show so much. Until Dollhouse came along, SCC was the only show I made a point to watch life. Oh, I hope, I hope, I hope, it gets picked up for another season. Losing this one is gonna hurt so bad.
Alright, I is tired now so I'm going to bed ...
I was very pleased with the pilot episode. It didn't BLOW my mind, but it was good and after the second act I was really getting into things. I'm definitely stoked for the next episode, and I'm pretty sure I'm going to be in love with the show by the end of last week.
Things I Liked:
1. As previously mentioned, Dushku can act! Who knew? After the opening sequence I was expecting to be in for some bad acting, but she was good. I actually really liked her as Eleanor Penn (even though she looked about twelve in those glasses), and all of the different incarnations we saw of Caroline and Echo were different.
I was also pleasantly surprised by the equally pretty Tahmoh Penikett. Like we all know that Helo is a sexy mofo, but Helo is somewhat of a wooden Adonis, which left me wondering if Tahmoh could actually act. He can. HUZZAH!
2. Olivia Williams is the shit. Seriously. Adelle is so evil and smexy. I want her to do naughty things to me.
3.FRED! Amy Acker! Didn't see too much Claire, but I liked what I did see. I'm intrigued by her, and Amy looked ravishing. I know Clair is scared, but I didn't actually see the scars, only movie star good looks (thought that was possibly because I watched on a comically small television set that University students would laugh at) Also, I thought it was sexy when she talked about protecting Echo (before she went all Rachel Morgan and was like "No homo!" when Echo tried to touch her ... oh, okay. I know she's just sensitive about her scars and probably traumatized by how she got them and was reacting to that, not internalized homophobia. I just really like dropping a 'no homo' every now and then. It makes me giggle)
4. Really like Boyd. That's not surprising though, I like Harry Lennox ... always.
5. Sierra was hot as fuck as a commando at the end there. Damn. Dichen looks kind of funny in pictures, but whatever the Dollhouse makeup department is doing, they're doing it well because girlfrien looked smoking hot! I also enjoyed Echo and Sierra's little exchange in the shower! I can't wait for when their future BFF status is realized. There'll be so much les!yay.
6. Guy at the end = Alpha, the name from Adelle's file? What do you think?
7. Topher DNW (though I do approve in his choice of women)
8. Echo's white dancing dress. It gets a point to itself because, goddammit it earned it!!! Ho-ly.
So yeah, liked the pilot and I'm not only in for next week, but anxiously awaiting it!
Oooh, promo for next week! Matt Keeslar!! Yay! *misses The Middleman like whoa*

Date: 2009-02-14 05:56 pm (UTC)i was a bit worried after like the first 15 minutes...but you're right, the second act kinda settled things down. OW is scary awesome...very madeline in la femme nikita...is me or does it seem like the dush studied a few reels of SMG's work to get echo's blankness...i was like "buffybot!!!"
also, is it me or was the crotchrocket scene a nod to the "faith on a motorcycle" pilot that never got made??...god i love in jokes if that's true...fuck, i'm just happy there's a "grrr arrgh" at the end of a show... :)

Date: 2009-02-14 06:57 pm (UTC)Yeah, me too. I was like "omg, please don't let the critics me right. I need Joss-TV", so I was very happy to see that things picked up in the second half, and that I actually had a few squee moments. It left me wanting to watch next week, and that's what's important.
does it seem like the dush studied a few reels of SMG's work to get echo's blankness...i was like "buffybot!!!"
Buffybot! Yeah, I can definitely see that. I think it was the cutsey head cocking. At first I was comparing her to Summer Glau, and finding her lacking in being blanket (Summer is so good at that), but I think she was going for a more little girly buffy-bot-ish vibe.
is it me or was the crotchrocket scene a nod to the "faith on a motorcycle" pilot that never got made??
I'd forgotten about Faith-on-a-motocycle. I was too traumatized about the news that Spike was supposed to be on the show to concentrate on the sexier details. I hated Spike so much at that point, that I was planning not to watch if he was a regular. So, I'm very glad to have gotten a shout out to Faith-on-a-motorcyle without Spike to ruin it. *prays feverishly that James Marsters never guest stars on this show*
fuck, i'm just happy there's a "grrr arrgh" at the end of a show... :)
This. This to the Nth degree. The "grr argh" made me so happy. It's like to have Mutant Enemy on television again.
