152 insights into my soul

TV commentary:

Vampire Diaries- Apparently, becoming a vampire and losing her emotions has made Elena cocky to the point of stupidity. I mean, she was all, "Oh, if all these people won't stop it with the cure bullshit, I'll just kill Bonnie!" Um, your best friend could take on Klaus on her own, and that was before she got supercharged with expression!

But hey, the Bekster finally gets to make it to a school dance! Elijah promises to give his sister the cure IF she can go one night without doing anything vampire-y. She almost manages it, but when a pissed off Elena mortally wounds April, Matt insists if she wants to prove she can be a decent human, she'll feed April some of the blood to save her. She does, so Matt thinks a little better of her, and promises not to tell anyone what she did. (Wait, what about April?)

But Klaus did see what she did, and he teases that he won't tell, that she will be the one to tell their dear brother. I think because he knew the whole point was moot, because Silas shows up to Elijah as Beks, and he gives her the cure. So now Silas has all he needs for his nefarious plans.

Interesting, I'm curious if he's like the First Evil from Buffy and can only show up as dead people (which, since vampires are technically dead, count)? He's showed up as Caroline to Klaus, the Salvatore bros as each other, the aforementioned Rebekah to Elijah, and Jeremy to Bonnie. Though he started as Shane, and technically that ep he was alive just long enough to warn Rebekah that the Shane stomping around wasn't him.

Not him? Tyler. It just seemed so convenient that Tyler showed up out of the blue, but it was him, showing up long enough to give Caroline her dream night before being secretly chased off by Klaus.

Glee- Hmm, so it looks like Blaine might find out the truth about Becky and the gun? And heh, Rachel's mom is back in NY with Beth? Its good to see them get a scene again, because it was kinda retarded last season that even though she was around for so long, they had like zero interaction. What else? Marley is apparently a song-writer. You know what, I think that would be good for her character to make her stand out more- I mean, Rachel is this great performer destined to make it big on Broadway. It would be silly for Rachel 2.0 to go the same route. Giving her a different talent relating to singing is a good thing.

Oh, and Finn is in college, with Puck in tow. Frick, the one thing that's annoying about the Glee backlash is I swear former "fans" just find anything to nit pick now. Yes, its weird that Finn is all of a sudden starting college in April. For one, we actually don't know the dates of anything right now, as we don't have any frame of reference. But god, hearing everyone be all, "Oh, do the writers even know how college works?"

Uh, yeah, I think they do, they just fudge things for the sake of plot. Is it better when a TV show follows real world rules? Sure. But its not a friggin deal breaker. I can be pedantic nerd at times, but there's a limit. I could name a hundred shows where the school/sports/political timing of things make no sense at all, but that's not what's important in the scheme of things on the show. Glee is hardly the first show to do things like that. I mean, every show has things that don't fit with the real world- all school dorms are ridiculously huge and nice compared to real life. Characters in NYC manage to afford luxurious apartments on a low salary, unless its convenient for the plot for them to be living in a shithole. I say, there's a level of nonsense allowed on TV, and the show has not surpassed that level. Particularly since its a moving limit, depending on the show. Obviously, if people burst into song on the Wire, that would be something to complain about. But since Glee is a show about people suddenly bursting into musical numbers, there's a lot more silliness they can get away with.

Its like sci-fi shows- if a criminal from an alternate dimension showed up on SVU, that would be friggin weird. But something like Eureka, that's fine. Conversely, if one of the experiments that went awry on Eureka was some scientist getting powers, and using it to be a serial rapist/killer, people would be what the eff?!

Parks and Rec- Speaking of sci-fi shows, I'm a little skeptical about finding no plot holes in season 1 of Fringe? Did he mean amongst itself, or with regards to the entire series? I mean, the show was pretty consistent, but it was so out there that there had to be a plot hole at some point. And even then, its a sci-fi show, you can get away with plot holes. Particularly with all the times time had been re-written on Fringe! If something's not consistent, you can just chalk it up to a timeline change.

TV commentary:

Fringe- I don't think Peter and Olivia are thinking things out. ( spoiler cut )

OUAT- Wow, Mulan's hair looks gorgeous in this one, its so silky! I don't know what Jamie Chung between filming, but I love how she looks in this. Also, its amusing to see she and Belle were hanging out pre-Storybrooke. ( spoiler cut )

Lost Girl- Interesting, so Dyson has a new partner. ( spoiler cut )

ME blather- ( cut for your benefit )

TV commentary:

Fringe- Is it me, or has the show gotten very matrix-y? ( spoiler cut )

AC blather- Cool, I think I'm at a good point where the world is open enough I can screw around with a whole bunch of side quests. Like getting the last of my assassin recruits. As I've said before, your recruits have personalities this time. I think my favs are sharpshooter guy and the chick, obviously.

AC:B kinda spoiled me money wise, particularly with the banks. Its a little more work to earn enough money to get everything you want. Not that I mind it, at least the stuff to do is fun. Or at least it is to me.

And some more spoilerish commentary. ( spoiler cut )

TV commentary:

Fringe- So that happened. ( spoiler cut )

Degrassi- The Maya storyline was slightly silly because, oh yeah, she's not pretty! WTF?! I guess the point is she looks all cutesy and young (well, because she is cutesy and young) and not a head turner. But again, that's because she is still just a kid. I guess another point was her misunderstanding why people like Cam and Katie were laughing at her wanting to enter the pageant, its less that they don't think she's pretty enough, just that it doesn't seem like her thing. But the weirdest part of the story was Mo wanting to teach the song she wrote to Imogen because he wants it sung by someone with more sex appeal. I mean, Imogen is a very pretty girl also, but she basically has the same look. Well, Imogen has a weirder, more unique style, but while she's not as young looking as Maya, she's still young looking. I realize those are the only two girls in the band, but realistically, if he had to think of a girl with a more mature look to be the eye candy on stage, Imogen is not that big a step in that direction.

Oh, but this pageant thing, I'm guessing there'll be a Zig-Maya-Tori triangle brewing?

Speaking of Mo, his storyline was also silly. I mean, I'm not diabetic, so maybe some people with diabetes are sensitive about it, and don't want people to know, but I didn't think it carries such a big stigma about it that he'd keep it a secret from Marisol. Well, we don't know its diabetes yet, but c'mon. The syringe, being all out of it until he got a cookie? Not to mention he's a big, fat guy?

Well, Marisol not figuring it out, sure, she's kinda an idiot. But honor-student Katie? And wtf, Marisol took the syringe out of his bag without his knowledge! Hope he has extra insulin and/or doesn't end up needing an injection and finding out its not in his bag!

TV commentary:

Fringe- So we're slowly starting to get more info on the years between the season finale and the time jump. ( spoiler cut )

Young Justice- Wow, as clevemire said, this show could really use some previouslies! Particularly since there was so much time that had passed between eps. ( spoiler cut )

TV Commentary:

Fringe- Interesting ep, albeit a little anticlimactic. ( spoiler cut )

Degrassi- So Mrs Coyne was doing something hincky financially. Weird though, so is Holly J part of their family now? Like is she with Declan? Did she end up going to Yale? Its odd that Fiona's mom sent Holly J to bring her back to NY, implying that they're in contact often. But I can't wait for next week to see how this impacts Fiona's budding thing with Imogen. Will Holly J help her get the girl?

TV Commentary:

Nikita- It was nice to see Nikita's cynicism crack for once. ( spoiler cut )

Fringe- That was unexpected! ( spoiler cut )

Degrassi- Aw, I loved the Bianca stuff in this ep! ( spoiler cut )

More things I did not know about RLC: She apparently has a new showing coming up on TNT with Will (of Will and Grace fame)?

And cool, Fringe was renewed for one more season, so that's good news!

You know I suppose there aren't that many straight guys who are fans of Glee. But given most of the people I follow on tumblr are because of Glee/Faberry, I assumed surely one of the people lusting after the girls of Glee (and other cute chyx) was a dude. But nope, I've come to learn they're all lesbians.

TV Commentary:

The Finder- So wait, I was a little confused about what Wendy the Waitress was upset about. Was it that she did sense her marriage was off, but came to accept that as something natural and inevitable that happens to relationships. But, her husband didn't settle and hired Walter in order to reclaim what they had lost?

Fringe- Its creepy how much Walter is into Peter and Liv's relationship. But, its cute how excited alt-Astrid is about over coffee. A rare moment of actual emotion! Also cute, the kinda father-daughter-ish bonding between Walter and Fauxlivia. I really am curious how things went in the Peter-less version of things when she infiltrated the blue world. Because Fauxlivia seems very fond of Walter, and while Walter seemed to be angry at Fauxlivia at the beginning of the season, he seems to have forgiven her. So since she couldn't seduce Peter since he didn't exist, did she instead act like a surrogate daughter to Walter to complete her mission?

( spoiler cut )

Degrassi- Heh, given Quinn's accident was a lesson in the dangers of texting and driving (with commercials warning about texting and driving throughout that hour), I was amused that this ep started with not only Dave texting and driving, but Adam and Drew not paying attention either because they were singing along to "Summer of '69". I was a little skeptical kids their age would listen to such a song, but I forgot its Bryan Adams and they are in Canada. In any case, at least Drew got onto Dave once he actually noticed he was texting and driving. And ha, he's busy texting Alli to talk to him, so he almost accidentally runs her down.

But they're back together, and the girl he slept with has gonna full on crazy stalker. Dave thinks he has nothing to worry about because she lives two hours away. So of course she would show up for their model UN thing. The promo for next week looks serious though. Does she hurt Alli? Or maybe herself?

Adam has a secret admirer. At first, it seems like its Tori, which I thought was weird because she's still with Zig. But nope, she's passing the notes for a "friend". They don't say who, but gee, I wonder who it could be? Boy is Adam going to be majorly disappointed when he finds out its Tristan. But wow, talk about Adam having the crappiest luck. I mean, transgenders are those who are physically one gender, but mentally another, which is totally different from gay/lesbian. Which is why it never worked out between him and Fiona. Because Fiona wanted to have lesbian-like sex, whereas Adam wanted to screw her like a man once he got the right equipment. He wasn't into having his breast fondled, because if he had his druthers, he wouldn't have such things.

And now, Tristan likes him, and again, even though Adam is physically a girl, but thinks of himself as a boy, he would be totally uninterested in Tristan. Boy will that double date be awkward!

As for the third plot, Marisol and Mo get paired together in model UN, even though they hate each other. Which means they're totally doing it by next week.

TV commentary:

Young Justice- Heh, I'm surprised it took me so long to figure out who the villain was this ep. ( spoiler cut )

Fringe- One more Fringe comment. ( spoiler cut )

In Plain Sight- I'm surprised things turned out the way they did. ( spoiler cut )

Fairly Legal- Okay, I thought the whistle blower thing protected them once they got the evidence to the "authorities"? ( spoiler cut )

Oh, ultra-creepy comment of the day: So, I knew Hilary Duff look alike Kagney Lynn Karter has done "certain things", but apparently one of her latest works she does everything. (Well, almost everything you can have in a plotless scene, though it did have one thing I like I didn't realize was in there initially because I apparently skipped that part, and only learned about it later)
