I know it's neo-noir, I know everyone's corrupt, but... it's all so simplistic. Is it just me?
I don't know about the confusion of archetypes with stereotypes, but the characters that formed the mystery in last week's episode were as desperately ill-conceived as the plots in One Angry Veronica and the SPE episode. So I would argue that occasionally the show has some very bad judgment in the service of the standalone.
Googling to figure out what SPE stood for, I found one blogger's reaction to that episode. Well said, IMHO.
For me, it's not just the standalones. I'm still not over the Lilith House thing. I feel like a lot of characters' layers are pastede on yay, if you know what I mean.
Ehh. Not explaining myself well.
That's Corwood!
That's what I thought, bon!
Ha! You know, if I had taken time to look at the name or some of the right-hand links, I might even have realized that.
Well done, then, Corwood.
Next week's cold open (or some sort of extended preview -- about 4 minutes) is up at VEOH: [link]
The fake songs (both the brief My Little Pony bit in the TV spot and the one Desmond sang during the concert) were pretty catchy.
They weren't fake songs (or at least the concert one wasn't) - it was 'My Before and After' by Cotton Mathers from their album Kon Tiki. Which is a pretty darn sound source to reacquisition songs from.
Scott and I couldn't figure out why the undie-clad groupie was objectionable.
It was Ashley from Two Guys and A Girl! She was hot then and she's hot now and I think that was part of why her bedroom exchange with Paul Rudd was like a conversation between two Wombles for all the sense it made to me.
He's not the love of her life,
Oh, why do you say that? I think he's lovely and the handholding was all kinds of 'aww'. For all this show's seemingly inexhaustible richness and wit, I doesn't often move me but that did.
ETA If anyone is interested in 'My Before and After', it's buffistarawkable.
Idolator did you one better, Spring. Free download. Shabam!
Idolator did you two better. Here's the other song used in the episode, the one Rob lip-synched to.
