hoes over psychos
May. 3rd, 2007 01:53 amThings that are corny: couples romantic slow dancing to music only they can hear in like the middle of some public place!
Things that are dumb: Just taking someone not showing up as an end to some romantic endeavor. Sure, some may think of it as noble or classy for not dragging something out, but its dumb! I mean, you assume its because they can't find the words to let you down, but for all you know, some relative of theirs suddenly died and they can't meet you or some psycho stalker has just kidnapped them! And then when certain people see these not-showing-up people again, they don't even bother asking for an explanation! Who lives their lives on assumptions!?
Also dumb: Not finishing attackers off. Nothing pisses me off more in these horror thrillers when people have their attacker down, but then they like wait for them to get up! Stomp them into the ground while their prone, and they won't have a chance to get up and kill you! Morons!
Had dinner with
clevemire and C-note at the Olive Garden, or the OG as I like to call it. mbv('Don't call it that') Hadn't been there in a while. I was sure they'd forget C's stuffed mushrooms since the waiter didn't even write our orders down and had to come back to ask C what his entree was. But they surprised me and actually did give him his stuffed mushroom caps.
Anyways, a new OTH after like months. I find it hilarious that the description in the channel guide says "Peyton is delayed going to prom" when in the last ep, her psycho stalker showed up on her front door step, knocked her ass out and kidnapped her! They make it sound like she'll show up later and be all, "Oh, sorry I'm late to the dance, I was busy escaping from a homicidal maniac!" Though thinking about it, that's just about what happened! I mean, she and Brooke show up after their ordeal (like wouldn't the cops keep them for witness statements or whatever?) acting like everything is normal. Well, until everyone stares at them, wondering why they're all bloody and their prom dresses are torn!
Anyhoo, rewinding back to the beginning, Lucas shows up at Peyton's, and when she doesn't answer the door, he assumes she's still mad and being petulant. He leaves some voicemails and sends some texts, which stalker boy returns, so Lucas thinks everything is all right. So he spends the rest of the ep talking to goth girl about the day of the shooting (which made me think she was the one sending the creepy "I know you killed Keith" messages to Dan, but she wasn't, more on that later). Boy will he have ugg on his face when he sees his gf and ex-gf, both of whom he cares deeply about, looking all disheveled because they were attacked and almost killed by a psycho stalker.
Anyhoo, as I said Lucas lets it go after seeing the text, but Brooke thinks Peyton's being ridiculous, so she heads over there and promptly gets attacked and captured by stalker boy. He's about to cut her throat for hurting Peyton, but Peyton plays along, being all, "let me kill her" and slapping Brooke around until stalker boy trusts her enough to give her the knife, wherein she promptly stabs him. But stupidly, she does not finish him off. He chases her around, and P Sawyer tries to be like J Lo in "Enough", but gets her ass kicked until Brooke rescues her, and they double team him and schoolboy him down the stairs and then Peyton literally kicks the shit out of him before they decide to call 911.
Nathan and Hayley have a romantic comedy of errors, their car breaks down, then they get the keys to the safe ride car, but then end up having to drive some drunk idiot home, and they end the ep with Nate carrying Hayley in his arms and dancing around since being preggers and having a broken leg isn't making it easy for her to try and dance.
Rachel, getting the picture-text from Mouth and Brooke, ditches her flight and shows back up at prom, but since she's no longer a student, the principal won't let her in. But Mouth goes off with her and they hang out and have a last dance at the airport before Rachel convinces Mouth to blow everything off and go to NOLA with her.
Dan is busy trying to woo Karen and rekindle things with her. But, he's getting notes and texts being all "Does your date know you murdered her fiancee?" So he's freaked and trying to track it down. At first he thinks its Whitey, then Lucas. As I said, I thought it was goth girl, but it turns out it was diabetic girl from the day of the school shooting. And Lucas figures out that she knows what really happened, as in his flashback he now remembers seeing her peeking through one of the windows in the hallway. Of course, what's ridiculous is instead of going to the cops, she's playing all these games. With a guy who MURDERED HIS OWN BROTHER AND GOT AWAY WITH IT!
On Jericho, the Green boys and Hawkins get back and explain the sitch. Then Constantino sends a runner asking for several farms and a bigger stake in the salt mine, tell us your answer in four hours or else! Turns out the else is a mortar shelling. Since Gray is an arrogant idiot, when Stanley and some scouts find one of the positions, he refuses to listen to the tactically minded Green patriarch, and instead sends Stanley in straight forward. Stanley barely gets back alive, and the majority of his men were slaughtered. Gray is devastated and is ready to give up.
Luckily, the Greens, Hawkins, and Emily are not quitters. So they scout the last location of the mortars to track it to the next shelling area. They ambush a New Bern supply truck, but are jumped in the middle of it. Lucky for them, its Jonah. I guess after Dale murdered that one guy, Jonah got his position back? Speaking of Dale, he's wheeling and dealing again, having organized the refugees and asking for a claim in several of the farms if his men (why are they following this little kid again?) help defend Jericho. Johnston, however, tells Dale to do it as a favor to him. They eventually decide to fight for Jericho without a formal deal in place.
Anyhoo, I digress. Emily gets her dad to help them, for 50% of the food, weapons, and supplies they capture. And Jimmy, Eric, and Stanley managed to convince Gray to not give up and stall Constantino until Hawkins, Jake, Johnston, Emily and her dad and his men slaughter the mortar unit. Jonah then reneges on the deal (with his own daughter, what an a-hole!) all, "Sorry, I'm a thief!"
Hawkins is all, "Ain't nothing but a chicken wing" as he apparently has a whole fucking arsenal in his storage unit. What the?! Anyhoo, Gray swallows his pride and asks for Johnston's help. Johnston gives a rousing speech and asks every able bodied person to pick up a gun. Emily and Allison(!) are the only chyx we see who join in with the boys! Oh, and Constantino's pissed that his people mortaring Jericho were slaughtered, so the invasion is on!
This week's Lost, Sawyer gets up to take a piss after another night of effing Kate. He bumps into Locke, who claims he only infiltrated the Others and he captured Ben and wants Sawyer to kill Ben for him. Flashback to 9 days prior, when Kate, Jack, and Sayid were gassed and fooled into thinking Juliet was abandoned. After showing Locke his dad (who didn't actually appear in a magic box, it was a metaphor. He was driving along the highway and sent into the divider at 70mph. Last thing he remembers is being strapped into a gurney and put into an ambulance before waking up on the island), Ben invites him to join them, because they think he's special. However, to prove his specialness, he has to murder his dad.
Locke can't do it though, just as Ben suspected, and this was all a setup so he could embarass Locke and show to the others he's not special. Batmanuel meets up afterwards and tells Locke as much, though since they're the Others, it could all be a set up. Anyways, he gives Locke Sawyer's file, and Locke figures out what we already knew, that Locke's dad and the Sawyer (apparently the full name was "Tom Sawyer", and he's all "The chicks thought it was clever!"). Then the others leave Locke with his dad, saying they'll leave a trail for him to follow, but not to bother unless he's carrying his dad's corpse with him.
So, he takes Sawyer to the Black Rock, and tricks him, locking him up with real Sawyer (who he thinks is Ben at first since the guy has a mask over his head). He doesn't tell "James" that his dad is the real Sawyer. During all this, we get a short appearance from Rosseau who's all "What up?" and Locke's all "Nothing really", Rosseau not batting an eye at James banging on the locked door to be let out. She borrows some dynamite and is all, "Smell you later!" Ha, that was kinda funny for her to just show up to grab some explosives and go. Anyhoo, James and Locke's dad talk, and James hands real Sawyer his letter. Real Sawyer reads part of the letter before calling Sawyer lame and ripping up the letter and making fun of him. So Sawyer gets so mad that he strangles real Sawyer to death. His vengeance finally realized, Sawyer actually gets sick to his stomach. Locke's all "thanx" and says he's leaving to find his own path, and that whole schpeel about being a mole in the others was just BS. He does give Sawyer the tape of Juliet from the medical hatch, which if you remember mentions their plan to raid the camp soon to grab the preggers women. He reveals Juliet is a mole and this will get Jack and whoever else to believe him when he makes the accusation. Then they part ways, Sawyer back to camp with the incriminating evidence against Juliet, and Locke to the Others with his dad's dead body in tow.
In the B-plot, Nessa (who's name is actually Naomi) is taken back to camp. The boys hide her though, and they don't trust Jack enough to tell him. So they get Sayid. Who's all skeptical and suspcious, so Naomi is all "eff you!" before handing him her satellite phone. Kate however, catches Sayid with the phone all, "Where'd you get that?" and they're all, "Can you keep a secret, especially from Jack?" She lies and says she can, but since she lurves Jack, she immediately goes to him afterwards and tells him about it in front of Juliet. She didn't want Juliet to know, but Jack's all, anything you want to say you can say in front of her. After this revelation, Jack starts acting all suspicious, telling Juliet, "We need to tell her!" What they need to tell, we do not know.
