geebsTV Commentary:
10 Things- You know, some people say Rachel Berry or Taylor Townsend are annoying freaks, but I find characters like Kat Stratford way more annoying. The former chyx, their behavior is a cry for help, they're trying to fill something missing in their lives. The latter is a kinda pretentious douche who think they're so great and that they're helping the masses by imposing their ideas on them. I mean, tonight's ep, if that had happened at my school, I'd totally be pissed off.
Campaigning to get a more vegetarian friendly menu at the cafeteria, that's fine. Forcing the school to have "meatless mondays"?! That's total BS! I'm sure its healthy, but I'd rather it be a choice. Its should be my prerogative whether or not I have a good and balanced diet. I mean, I'd prolly go with a salad (and hey, I'd even pick a dressing other than ranch/bleu cheese) once in a while if it was offered. But offering only veggie lasagna or soy dogs, I feel like the choice is being forced upon me.
Anyways, as for the plot of the more tolerable Stratford sister (at least in my mind) this week, Bianca gives a girl a makeover in the hopes that if Cameron finds someone else, he can get over her and be friends again. This brings up one of my other issues with the show, the whole Cameron/Bianca friendship has for me always been a case where they say and not show. I mean, they can say they were good friends, but the show hasn't really demonstrated that to me. Like what does she feel she's missing out on? I could at least understand it if they were friends for years and they just grew apart because Bianca wanted to be more popular, but they haven't even really known each other for more than a semester. It just rings false for me.
And then they had Bianca teaching this tall girl all this stuff about Cameron (okay, the Lost references were kinda funny, particularly when she was telling the girl all about Kate- "She blew up her father in his trailer, but later you find out she was totally justified". Though the line was wrong because it wasn't his trailer, it was their house. Not all southerners live in trailer parks! Even if they're poor.). Like from what they've seen from the show so far, I can see Cameron knowing some stuff about Bianca since he's trying to get in her pants, but I never saw a case where she'd have occasion to learn anything of substance of Cameron. Not that she's self-involved, just that it seems like he hid a lot of himself for fear it would turn her off.
I guess they say later she just did a lot of research on him. Which I was kinda skeptical about, like how could she find all that information so fast. But then I thought, between my facebook and LJ, one could figure out a lot about me. I mean, a quick glance of my profile and boxes on facebook, you'd know a lot of my favorite things, and everywhere in the world I've been and what books I've read. LJ is obviously more informative. Well, if one had the patience to read through the thousands of entries (~3400 as of this post!) Of course, I tend to get long winded and post so much, I bet most people gloss over a lot of stuff. (Like people prolly don't even know whats up with the two floor/one floor thing or what the hall to nowhere is) I mean, this post, since I didn't put the commentary under a cut, is already long enough that no one managed to read this far. Particularly since this is the middle and I still have 24 and House to comment on.
House- Woah, is it me, or did the queen have a totally awesome rack? And she was played by the white supremacist guy's daughter on Sons of Anarchy who set up Peggy Bundy to have that untoward thing happen to her. And then Peggy Bundy shot and killed her in the season finale. What a waste! Concerning Libby, I was thinking Cuddy was acting very cold because she had already gotten Private Dancer to investigate her and she knew something, but already stated she wouldn't interfere. But, it looks like House is the one who got him to check Libby out.
24- I'm a little surprised (and disappointed!) of the recent turn of events I can't believe President Taylor caved when Logan finally revealed that he got the Russians back to the peace table because he had info that they were the ones pulling Samir's strings and got Hassan assassinated. I mean, I understand she's trying to bring peace to the region, but it will be based on a lie. When that whole thing eventually comes out, the IRK will be pissed! Not to mentioned the rest of the world! Sure, it would be the Russians who were the villains, but the fact that America covered it up for its own agenda wouldn't look good.
And I'm shocked that she did cave, because this is the same woman who sent her own daughter to jail for the events of last season, even if it cost her her marriage!
But anyways, so Dana is an agent for the Russians? Like how and why did they recruit secret white trash? Because that part isn't a lie since she got a call from her sister and the whole Kevin thing from the first half of the season showed it wasn't a cover.
Oh, and one of these days, what the hell is Jack gonna do when someone calls him on his threats. Yeah, I know he's upset about Walker, but would he really kill Bahzaev's wife, daughter in law and grandchild if he jerked Jack around? It would be one thing to go after one of his sons (like Sark!), who are gangsters like him. But he'd really hunt down and murder an old lady?
Vampire Diaries- actually, the TWoP weecap reminded me of something which does illuminate an issue/problem I was curious about in my last post about the show. I forgot, Anna was there at the tomb. Elena saw her, knows she's a vampire, and knows she was hanging out with her brother. When she was questioning the Germ to try and figure out how much he knew about vampires, wouldn't the whole fact that he was hanging around with Anna a lot raise some red flags?!
I mean, I guess they might think maybe she was just using him as a potential bargaining chip to free Pearl from the tomb but kept the whole vampire thing a secret from him. But given they started being concerned about him because Alaric showed Elena Jeremy's vampire essay, and he's been acting weird and asking questions about Vicki's death that indicate he knows more than he should, they should at least be curious if Anna revealed anything to him.
