'Time Bomb'
A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much anything else that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Help me, please? What's OC???
The hot teen drama set in my old stomping grounds, Orange County.
The paper I used to/still kind of write for, OC Weekly, does a weekly "O.C. Watch," which is often hysterical. Strangely, this week's recap is actually kind of topical:
Hey, anyone notice who wrote the Tru Calling ep last night? Or know when Doug gets to write one? The fireman's name being Nick Kelly and the fact that he died made me hope for ME writer action, but I would hope for better from Mr. Petrie.
**** Adam Brody's delivery is nothing short of genius, and he and Peter Gallagher really work well together. And I say that not liking PG.
And verily, the slash does write itself.
Does she run?
She actually took a cab. I almost fell off the couch.
smonster, I think the fact he died was predictable, and not from an ME way, but from a not adding a regular character way. It hadn't occured to me he'd live.
Two episodes in and they've already used close to half of the available story lines for the concept. We've had Surprise Suicide Prevention and Death of a Hero. What's left? Savior Guilt - Tru's actions cause the DOW (death of the week) to die in a different tragic way; Family Death - DOW is Tru's brother or sister (season finale); No DOW At All - Tru deals with not being needed.
God I love this show.
Woo hoo for O.C. love! Trying to hook a friend, I showed her the scene in the kitchen: with the "Seth's women" line last night. And the ferris wheel scene. Not for kissage but for Ryan's hilarious freak out. We'll see if she converts.
Or know when Doug gets to write one?
I was reading somewhere the other day about Petrie working on a new Lost in Space series. So he may not be writing any Tru Calling after all. I totally forgot that T.C. was on last night. But I had no desire to watch it based on the previews. I did watch Homecoming last night for no reason at all though. So got an ED fix anyway though.
Ryan was so cute in that scene! I mean, he's cute in every scene, but that one especally. Yay.
Jessica, I loved that line, too. I loved Sandy's response, filled with incredulousness, "Seth? Seth Cohen?" So very funny.
I was scolded elsewhere for not pointing these out - you know, in a good-natured kind of way - so I figured I'd let y'all know that the spoilery screencaps for the second half of the Stargate two-parter have shown up.
I was trying to think of Seth quotes to post/tag, and realized that this week it was pretty much all in the delivery. So instead I'm going to comment on some of his physical acting stuff:
In no particular order:
Sliding down the stair rail while talking to Summer
Touching his just-kissed lips while talking to Summer at the fair
Touching Anna gently on the shoulder while walking through the hall.
His reaction to Ryan's look in reaction to his comment about communicating with a look.
I could go on, and on, and on. I can't remember the last time I adored, purely adored, one fictional character so much.
I adore Ryan, too, it's just that there's not as much to detail there. (whereupon ita will prove me wrong, and i invite her to do so, gladly)
WRT Tru Calling, yeah, ita, it was pretty predictable. I just want to see what a DP-penned ep looks like, I guess.
