How was I supposed to know about figurative speech

TV commentary:

Okay, just watching Psych right now. I knew the ep was about Shawn and Gus' class reunion, but I did not realize they were supposed to be younger than me. Wait, I just realized, who has a 13-year reunion!? Cool, RLC is guesting. How odd that she shows up at the beginning, and then its like twenty minutes until she shows up again. And I call shennanigans on girls finding the whole psychic detective thing sexy! Heh, Lassie's being there because he started dating a chick who happened to be Shawn and Gus' classmate is hilarious, what a manipulative bitch! And then Shawn's parents showing up? But my favorite line so far is that he didn't go to the football games because they were Friday night and would interfere with Step by Step. HA!!!! And people thinking Juliet's dress is a prom dress, what's up with that? It doesn't look like a prom dress!

But what the? He clears things up with RLC, and it looks like he might be starting something, but he hesitates because of O'Hara?!

Awesome ep of Doctor Who, the Earth gets taken (along with 27 other planets) to a pocket universe for some mysterious reason by Davros. But seriously, the Time Lords must suck. The Doctor is the only survivor, but the Daleks keep on showing back up. So much for being destroyed, its like there's always some excuse for more of the frakkers to be around!

But I like how previous nothing lines in previous episodes, like the Pompeii one and the Adipose one were hinting at a bigger event. I also like the reunion of all his allies- Harriet Jones, Martha Jones, Sarah Jane Smith, Captain Jack and Torchwood. And Rose! Heh, how odd that Rose knew of Donna, but when Martha is on the "allies"-web she's all "who's this Martha" and acting all jealous! But how sad that the Daleks killed Harriet. And aw, the Daleks invading Torchwood and Gwen wanting to go out fighting, like "Owen and Tosh". But the saddest part was Rose and the Doctor about to be reunited, only for the Doc to be killed by a Dalek. Well, the ep ends with him regenerating. The whole regenerating thing confuses the hell out of me. Rose acts like it would totally frak things up. But at least he's not dead!

So on Swingtown, Trina arranges this neighborhood wide (well bigger than that) scavenger hunt. But one, I can understand hiding stuff in stores (though I'm skeptical, what if some one else found them and tossed them?), but what's with the hiding stuff in people's houses? And apparently people just leave their doors unlocked? I mean, I'd be kinda miffed if people had to rifle through my underwear drawer for some game!

But Tom and Janet do make a good team, I think they have a nice little chemistry, but alas, I don't see anything happening of it. Though Trina did seem to be trying to set up the teams to make things "interesting". But how convenient that slutty neighbor lady switched with Melinda so she and Bruce could team up. And apparently she and Bruce did not sleep together. But things did cross the line, and Tom only just managed to stop Janet from seeing them.

But Trina did try to shake things up and see what would happen putting Susan and Roger together. I can kinda understand that mentality, you see people with obvious chemistry, and you try to push a connection, even if it might be problematic outside of that relationship. Susan figures out what's up, and Trina did decide to stop meddling, but Janet, in her over-competitiveness, accidentally found the pic of Roger, and is crushed.

She has a point though, yeah, she can be hard to deal with, but how messed up is to confide in someone else rather than your wife?! I think its an obvious sign that there are issues in the marriage that need to be addressed. I think she gets a bad rap. She may be uptight and kinda intimidating, but I think last week's ep shows she actually can be understanding if you give her a chance.

But even if Roger and Susan claim their day of fun was totally innocuous, they sure are acting guilty. And then after Susan fesses up and is all "no more secrets", Bruce has to go and keep mum on the whole Melinda thing.

I'm also amused that Susan and Bruce are so busy with their own shit that they don't realize their daughter is frakking her teacher! HA!!

So on Atlantis, we have the return of Tyre. But what the hell is with that ambush?! I know Teyla just had a baby, but she had plenty of time to react to Tyre stunning Ronon, as well as do something rather than standing there like an idiot and getting stunned.

I did find it hilarious that Shephard was all, "Of course she's coming back to work!" and being all surprised when Teyla might not actually be coming back. Um, even if she's physically recovered from giving birth, she's a mother of a newborn now! She can't be running off risking her life like that! And then she and Shephard have a spat about it because she doesn't know what her final decision is going to be.

Of course, the whole quadrangle she's involved with confuses the hell out of me. Obviously, she has a kid with a guy she supposedly loves very much, but there seems to be something between her and Ronon and her and Shephard at different points in the series.

But what's with the whole feeding on Ronon thing, I thought Ronon couldn't be fed on, that's why they made him a runner?

I kept seeing commercials for this Psych ep and they showed a half a second of a really cute girl and I'm all "who is that?" and it's RLC. I normally don't care for her with the blonde hair but she was looking really good.

I'd seen the commercials enough that I was pretty sure it was RLC, but since both she and O'Hara were wearing pink dresses and had the blond hair, there were times I thought my mind was playing tricks on me.
