'Time Bomb'
TV, movies, web media--this thread is the home for any Joss projects that don't already have their own threads, such as Dr. Horrible.
The cow-eyed crush girl neighbor portrayal is really getting on my nerves.
Wait, she has a crush on Agent Helo? YOU DON'T SAY.
Her jealousy of Caroline bugs me. "The picture didn't do her justice, huh?" What? There was nothing particularly hot about Caroline in her little graduation video; okay, she has a crush and her reactions are over-the-top, but that's what bugs. She's jealous of Caroline like Agent Helo is looking for a DATE or something. He is an FBI agent. She is a missing person. Geez.

At this point, I'm really hoping that Mellie is an Active. Or that her plotline goes somewhere. Soon. Otherwise, "vaugely frumpy neighbor who's carrying a torch for Our Hero" has gotten old.
The cow-eyed crush girl neighbor portrayal is really getting on my nerves. I want her to either rip off those unflattering clothes to reveal her Supergirl costume or I want her to go away.
Wait, was I the only one who thought her cleavage-y outfit this episode was WAY better than the first? And actually sexy?
Yeah, I definitely liked this episode better than the previous ones. I would like for Echo to stop getting smacked around by men, but I suppose this is groundwork. And, you know, deus ex machina to break the cameras.
I thought that Smarmy hit her directly in the face, that he'd broken her nose, but evidently no. Because it seems like no matter what your conditioning was, when you woke up and were feeling like going for a swim, you'd also be all, "Damn, my face hurts."
Cow-eyes reminds me of Peter Parker's landlord's daughter.
"I brought you some leftovers"? please. That's an entire pan!
I know! I thought that was kinda cute, though. That's how all her "leftovers" are.
So it's a fat joke? It bugged me like when a TV character gets a present and the top comes off all wrapped, or a woman picks up her purse and you can tell it's empty.

FYI, my housemate asked this episode "Why doesn't the FBI agent go after the hot neighbor?" When I told him that here people referred to her as the dumpy neighbor he said you were all insane. He noticed her from the first episode.
I think it's less a fat joke and more a "look how desperate she is" joke.
