geebsTV commentary:
HIMYM- Wait, I'm totally confused about the necklace because of the wonky timeline. So when the wedding weekend began, they implied Ted had been gone a week trying to track down the necklace. I thought he did get it? Like earlier in the season, Lily thought he was going to give it to her, but he didn't, and I thought it was because he took her advice not to, not that he didn't have it. Or did he actually dive into the water and try to fish it out of the lake, because I wouldn't put it past him. But hopefully this ep means he has truly let her go?
I'm also confused by the Eriksons not going to Italy. They implied of course they were going to stay, Lily just didn't like being cut out of the decision. But if Marshall didn't get the job, they would've gone, which kinda goes against the main reason against Italy being they were starting a family and it would be a mess to just try and transplant themselves in a new country while she tried to do art stuff. Because if that was the reason, then it seems they wouldn't have gone to Italy at all.
Almost Human- You know, I totally forgot their was an ominous giant wall. How big is it, and what does it wall off? Like is it a giant wall that goes across the whole landmass, or at least across California or the US? Or is it walling in a part of the city? The way they talked about the other side, they made it sound like some post apocalyptic wasteland like that one Rhona Mitra movie. Like it can't just be splitting the city in half, I think it would either enclose part of the city, or extend a really long way. Because of it was just across the city, it seems like, "Okay, I'll just travel one direction a few hundred miles and just get around it that way!" And I know Dorian was on ice for a few years so he wasn't online when the whole Danica massacre happened, but its like he was searching the archives and said he had no idea what the rest of them were talking about, but, if it was such a big massacre as they said, I would think it would be very well known and thus easily findable in any archives he might be searching.
Being Human- Ha, funny reaction there at the end. Aiden wants to tell Kat the truth so he doesn't have to lie to her anymore, so he does, and she laughs in his face like he's a crazy person. I also totally forgot he got Blake to glamer her into forgetting stuff. Wonder how she'll feel about that. Also, did they ever say why Suzanna is so bad-ass? I mean, I guess she is an old vampire, whereas the majority of the Boston vamps are newbies due to a lot of the old ones dying out from that disease. But still, she's like mowing through a dozen guys like wheat, apparently.
Heh, also, Aiden makes Kenny and Josh and Nora make amends, and Kenny apologizes for the stuff that happened before they thought he was dead. But did Josh not realize Kenny was the one who sent those vamps after him, which was only a few days before?
And aw, poor Sally, she thought things were going to be cool between her and Zoe (heh, who's apparently a lesbian, and they're saying that's why she was only with ghost guys before, who couldn't get intimate with her?), and though they seemed somewhat friendly, Zoe was actually only doing this to protect the family Sally was trying to find.
Which, turns out the little girl is alive and grew up? Maybe she's a twin? Because the apparently alive lady was looking at the old photo album and saw a girl in the house window staring down sadly. Which, incredible resolution on that camera!
The Fosters- It still weirds me out that Max from WoWP is considered a hearthrob. I mean, it seems like he has Lexi, and Emma, and then half the girls at Callie's group home think he's hotter than Brandon? Also, even if Jesus doesn't mean "Jesus time" like that, he has to know it sounds like that. It was totally cute though how Lena and Stef were actually kinda eggcited about Jude and Jesus fighting because they totally were like siblings now.
Getting back to Brandon though, its like show some patience! Again, I guess he's a kid, but still, can't he see how he's effing things up for her. Not that she's not effing things up for herself. But you know he's thinking Callie with her own place=sexy times at her place. Owel, glad to see Rita giving her a talk and everyone telling her off about how lucky she is since she has this big-ass family who wants her when the rest of them can't get their own parents to show up when they're in the hospital has given Callie the kick in the ass she needs to possibly not eff up her life any further.
But what the hell, is Stef's dad dead? Or will they give her a chance to reconcile?
The Following- I was right! Art gallery lady was in on it. Though I did not expect her to be the twins' mother. I'm amused that Ryan was all, he didn't want to be on the case because he misses things that get people killed. Like Mike said, no one saw it coming! Honestly, if he wanted to berate himself for something, its like maybe looking at her totally suspiciously once he found her out and basically revealing he knew she was a secret bad guy. Its like, nice poker face there!
But looks like Emmas hanging with the twins now. 1) because the FBI finally traced the twins and Carlos through all the video footage and found where he lived (and also the shenanigans Ryan got into), and then saw Emma when she went there and traced her back to her hideout. Lucky for her, she wasn't there when the Feebs busted in and basically gunned down everyone. To be fair, the people they did show get shot were armed or about to blow the place up. And given the loss of life in the other raids, I figured they were prolly hitting hard just so they wouldn't get killed by people playing possum like last time. 2) Since Emma is prolly more important to Joe than Carlos, they figure they have a better chance of convincing Joe to let them join with her than they will with Carlos. She's brave though, sticking with them. I mean, she hardly has a choice, but its kinda scary when you know these folks are homicidal maniacs, and while the one twin likes her, she'll prolly have to watch her back around the other twin and Gisele.
And interesting, to Joe's surrogate daughter kills her mom and joins Joe on the road, but where is he going? Back to NY? Also, what's up with Ryan being all, "You'll think I'm crazy for thinking Joe is alive" to Mike and citing the half brother and the break ins that make him suspect they used the half brother's body to fake Joe's death, but not the fact that Carlos said he picked Joe up!? Like okay, the first stuff does sound like crazy conspiracy theory stuff, but Carlos admitting he picked up Joe, that seems worth mentioning! Yeah, he could be lying, but at least say it with the caveat he may be lying! I mean, a crazy conspiracy theory sounds less crazy if you also have a guy who's all, "Oh yeah, Joe's a live, I totally picked him up after he faked his death!"
