152 insights into my soul

Oh, the other day Family Guy made a joke about that tv-movie "starring a cast of people that make you say 'oh', because you didn't know they were still acting". Granted, David Faustino seems to be doing mostly voice work nowadays, but hey, he was Mako in LoK! And apparently Grant Show has been in a bunch of stuff since Melrose (not to mention Swingtown) according to his imdb profile. Apparently he was in a few eps of Burn Notice? Why do I not remember that? But Rachael Leigh Cook and Robin Tunney are female leads on their very own shows! Sure, RLC's show was just canceled and the Mentalist is in its final season. But I thought the Mentalist was kinda popular back in the day. Also, their go to for Robin Tunney is "the bald chick from Empire Records"? Though I guess if they said, that chick from the Craft, they might have though Fairuza Balk or Neve Campbell. She at least ranks over whoever the fourth girl was.

So the music from this week's upcoming ep of Glee is out. Apparently its a bunch of Carole King and Alanis Morissette songs, which seems like a pretty random combination. And I'm kind annoyed they used some of my least favorite Alanis songs. Like "Hand in Pocket". Its just such a weird song! I can't believe Dawson's Creek was originally going to use it as it's theme song, because "I Don't Want to Wait" just seems so iconic to that show. Like if they used the Alanis song, it might have turned me off of the show. Like my whole life could be different because I wouldn't have watched it!

But I digress, here's the tunes:

It's Too Late- Klaine duet of the Carole King classic. Pretty good!

So Far Away- Another Carole King classic, done by Quinn and Tina. Have they ever had a song together? They sound amazing on this.

Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow/Head Over Feet- sung by Jane and Mason. I'm actually curious about how this song will play out in the show, like why is Mason singing with Jane instead of his sister? Will it end up being a the twins are a little too close, so the club is having them sing with other people? But yeah, I think this is the best of the mashups, because I like the sound of the new newbies in this.

You Learn/You've Got a Friend- An ensemble number. You've Got a Friend is one of my all time favorite songs, so I'm not too keen on them mashing it up with something. Particularly You Learn, since they don't really seem like they go together. I mean, it doesn't sound as discordant as I expected. Its not great, its fine.

Hand in Pocket/I Feel the Earth Move- Britanna duet. Heh, like I said above, my disdain for Hand in Pocket may have prejudiced me a little against this, but it does at least sound kinda fun.

TV commentary:

Legend of Korra- Great way to end the series. ( spoiler cut )

TV commentary:

Legend of Korra- I knew it! ( spoiler cut )

TV commentary:

Legend of Korra- A recap episode? What the hell is this BS?! ( spoiler cut )

TV commentary:

Legend of Korra- Hmm, owel. ( spoiler cut )

TV commentary:

Legend of Korra- Well, it wasn't unexpected. ( spoiler cut )

TV commentary:

Legend of Korra- Holy cow, is it me, or was that season finale pretty brutal? Like there was some pretty dark stuff there, particularly for kids. I mean, some of it cuts away, so its off screen, but its still kinda horrific! ( spoiler cut )

TV commentary:

Broad City- So, I've been catching bits and pieces of this show, the episode where they're trying to get to a wedding is hilarious and has a lot of my favorite things. But yeah, in one scene, a car rental lady is referring to one of the characters "looking all Idris Elba", and he's all "Wait, are we talking Stringer Bell or Luther?" Having still not scene the Wire, is there a big difference?

Garfunkel and Oates- Speaking of sitcoms by comedy duo chyx, caught this last night. Not bad, its amusing enough. I am curious though, there's a scene where they're making a joke about the differences in their acting reels, and Riki Lindhome's is just a bunch of topless scenes. And I'm wondering, does she do a lot of those? I mean, I've mostly only seen her on sitcoms and the occasional crime procedural, which are on network TV and thus do not show nudity. But there's also this one movie where she like does full frontal for a few minutes (which was quite surprising! Pleasantly so). (Link NSFW, obviously)

Avatar- Woah, what a shocking twist! Totally surprising, and kinda awesome. ( spoiler cut )

TV commentary:

So I saw an ep of I love the 2000s on VH-1, and they were doing 2008. Which, the Dark Knight was in frickin' 2008?! I didn't think it was that long ago!

Criminal Minds- So the other day, I was watching some Criminal Minds re-runs on ION or A&E, and it was the two parter where Tim Curry was the bad guy. So, I know I saw both eps, because, well, let me put it under a spoiler cut just in case, even though its from a few years ago. ( spoiler cut )

Rush- So yeah, this show, he is kinda an evil version of Hankmed. Well, evil is not the right word. Its like on Royal Pains, they are a concierge medical service, but they're like really nice and stuff. This show, they're sort of running a concierge medical service, or rather, medical service on call for cash up front. But its all shady and stuff, like he's treating drug dealers (well, in his defense, its not his normal clientele) and people trying to avoid scandal. ( spoiler cut )

Married and You're the Worst- Checked these out on FX. They had some funny moments, but they're also weird. Like the plot with the husband on Married was kinda insane. But hey, I like Judy Greer. And ooh, quick appearance by total hottie Alexandra Daddario!

You're the Worst was also surprisingly graphic with the sex. I mean, you don't see anything, but still see more than I'd expect from a non-HBO show. I guess its at 1030. But I've liked Aya Cash since Traffic (the short lived Fox sitcom that was produced by my cousin's husband that had Roy from the Office and the Filipina chick who plays the Asian friend in like almost everything, not the ensemble movie about the drug trade) I'm not sure how it will go as a show, since it seems more like a romantic comedy movie. They're both crappy people with commitment issues! It may just work between them! Strangely enough, imdb lists it as a TV-movie rather than a show.

Also, the bride in the beginning is played by the chick who voices Korra- its like whenever I see her in things now, all I can think is, "Hey, its Korra!"

TV commentary:

Legend of Korra- Wow, lots of big surprises in book 3. ( spoiler cut )
