kaiserkuchenAs there are always more pleasing things to do than write cover letters. Which still need to be done. DAMMIT.
CHUCK S3x04
___ CHUCK
FIRST OFF: WHAT WAS UP WITH THE "THAI LADY" AND THE RANDOM "THAI"?? And I am using quotation marks because I actually didn't realize up until Chuck was flashing and the Intersect showed Thai letters that that was the actual language the (totally not Thai, or I will eat my hat) lady was speaking in. I'll give Zach Levi half props for adorably mangling his way through it, but the fact remains that I myself actually had to ref the subtitles to understand what was being said. What the hell kind of dialogue coach did they grab off the street, the pronunciation and emphasis on words was totally whack and the actual phrasing was pretty weird. I refuse to watch it again to find out more details, but lolol it was so baaaaaaaaad.
The rest of the ep was pretty sweet though, even if I have yet to see that Superman movie I am kind of fond of Brandon Routh, so seeing him as Shaw is something I heartily welcome. I ~~wonder what mysterious backstory he has! Maybe some dead wife? Based on that ring he was putting on in the end. OR MAYBE HE HAS A SECRET FAMILY HIMSELF, which would make him a slight hypocrite, but oh well. Moar Captain Awesome is also something I cannot complain about. Looking forward to next week! If anyone knows some good iconmakers for Chuck, hit me up~
White Collar S1x08
___ WHITE COLLAR
What a relief that Peter isn't ~evil, though I admit that I really didn't believe that as a real possibility, and seeing all the post-ep meta really confirmed my suspicions.
CUTE BITS/BITS I LIKED:
- Neal's wounded and angry faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaces and little sniping remarks when he still believed that Peter was ~evil. I totally was aww-ing out loud at the computer screen, especially during the chess flip-out bit and when he and Peter were "play-acting" the marks' positions. NOT THE MOST SUBTLE OF CHARACTER ACTIONS, but because I love these two so much I didn't really care.
- lol at the fratty asshole traders and Neal at their little retreat get-togethers. Crazy 8 or whatever that nickname for Neal was is kind of hilarious and random, I gotta admit (since I am not getting the ref-- weren't O-Ren Ishii's henchmen in Kill Bill named something similar?).
- All the ~~tension between Neal and Peter throughout the ep before they cleared the air was simply delicious, though seriously WHERE WAS THE MOUTH-TO-MOUTH in that comics vault of Wow Shaz Would Like One, Too?? I guess I can settle for the chest rubbing that Peter was doing and all the other wonderful fan-service-y bits in the rest of the ep.
- OH AND ELIZABEEEEEEEEEETH ♥
- Peter in burgundy. ALSO: PETER UNDERCOVER. I want to know more about his other active aliases!
- Nothing in the world can make me read that scene with Kate and Peter as anything else but "HANDS OFFA MY MAN, BITCH". Dang Peter is possessive. And was totally in control of that scene. Also, Tim DeKay has some really glorious facial expressions in that scene, nggg so charismatic ♥
- I will never get why they cast an actress to play Kate who just looks so damn much like a younger sister to Tiffani Thiessen. Who also of course looks like Neal. Is it Peter's thing to be surrounded by people who are apparently his total physical type?
OH AND NOW I HAVE REMEMBERED AGAIN THAT I REALLY WANT TO READ YOUR AU NOW,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

Scrubs S9x10
___ SCRUBS
This is good, frothy, low-involvement fun as always. I liked seeing Cole slowly gain inches of character depth, seeing more about the Ozzie chick and the Asian dude (I can't remember their names, oops) and of course, Drew and Denise. It never fails to crack me up that due to the fact that he's a good bit older than the rest of the med students, the Scrubs writers totally make us of this to really have the character have the most whacked-out backstory ever. So he was in jail, married, and a member of a cult--- no wait, a "marketing scheme that kind of somehow ended up with us living on a compound" lolol?? WHAT ELSE IS IN STORE. Also fun: the fact that Cole kissed a dude for "Lacrosse initiation" and probably liked it and generally whenever Turk, Cox and Kelso interact. I don't actually miss JD that much, I gotta say (I always liked him best together with Turk anyways).

Date: 2010-01-20 08:40 pm (UTC)Possessive!Peter is my kryptonite *___* I was getting all weak-kneed in that scene with Kate. I just love that Peter totally has the brains and the means to actually be evil, but he's too INHERENTLY GOOD to do anything dishonest ♥
Haven't seen Scrubs yet, but I am totally liking Cole against all better judgment lolol. He is SO ANNOYING but last ep when he's told Lucy that the reason he tells everyone they're together isn't because he's bragging, but because he can't believe anyone like her would be with anyone like him, I was just... AWWWWWWWW ♥ I love him and his ridiculous caterpillar eyebrows lol XD You should see him with his brother together; they TOTALLY look alike, and they even laugh/smile the same!

Date: 2010-01-20 11:02 pm (UTC)OH MY GOD imagine like, evil!Mirrorverse Peter or like an AU where Peter is some underground mafia boss OR OTHER DENIZEN OF THE CRIMINAL ELEMENT who wields ridic amounts of power because well, if he's gonna be evil, he's sure as hell gonna do it right. Kind of like that classic Due South fic with Bankrobber!Fraser where it turns out that the good guys can often times make the best kind of bad guys, too?? :DD But seriously, I was also positively enthralled by Peter in that scene with Kate. You just couldn't look away and guhhh~~
IT TOOK ME AGES TO REALIZE THAT HE IS RELATED TO JAMES FRANCO. I was staring at Cole, always thinking "...why is his face so damn familiar to me??" when it finally clicked XDD Wasn't he also in those weird yet utterly cool Acting With James Franco (http://www.funnyordie.com/videos/f12ee4dfcf/acting-with-james-franco-episode-1-sense-memory-from-james-franco-judd-apatow-dave-franco-and-cohenobrien) vids? And ahahah now that I have found them, it really is Cole! He looks oddly a lot younger, for all that these vids are a year old? THE BEST VID REMAINS THE FIRST ONE THOUGH lol the cat story XDD And the reply vid from their mom!
