I really need an Annie icon...

[firthgal]

1. Community was so my favorite show tonight. ANNIE/PIERCE. That is probably sufficient enough for explaining my love of this episode, but I will also add SENOR CHANG.

2. Parks and Rec is totally consistent in bringing the laughs this season! I love it! And the end just made me love Tom even more. And this ep had some adorable Leslie/Ron happening! So, I dug it. And I always enjoy Fred Armisen.

3. There is not much to say about tonight's Office other than that Andy is wicked hot in a mechanic's uniform. And the baseball cap!!! So cute. The whole mobster joke is probably something that should have taken place during the entirety of a cold open as opposed to the entirety of an episode, because, yikes, it just got painful after awhile. I loved getting an episode focused on Michael, Dwight, and Andy, because they're my dudes, I just wish they had gotten a funnier storyline. And I freaking love mobster films/shows/documentaries, so you would think this would have been a top notch episode for me, but it just... wasn't. Kevin, however, totally rocked this episode. Anyway, Mr. Grotti is pretty much the personification of the Italian half of my family, and I can assure you that no members of my family belong to the mob. In fact, my great uncles were the toughest guys in my dad's neighborhood, even the small time mobsters were scared of those dudes. But they were really sweet guys, just... you know, don't get them angry.

4. 30 ROCK!!!!! Oh, Jack and Liz are so totally married. I'm sorry, but they are. Especially in that opening scene.



Okay, first, Jack and Liz were sitting side by side like the couple that they totally should be. Secondly, they were basically talking in their own language (or, well, Jenna and Tracy had no clue what they were going on about). Thirdly, Jack looked so besotted while Liz was singing that little jingle, and he was nodding his head and smiling like Liz singing the jingle is an every day occurrence and everyone should know it. Fourthly, they were both excited about the restaurant while Tracy and Jenna just looked a little bored. Fifthly, HOT DAMN BALDWIN LOOKS GOOD.

Liz and Pete! Oh man, they so totally looked like they were having an affair, to the point where I was like, "Hmm... HOT." OH! I adored the look that Jack gave her when she mentioned that her and Pete's knees kept touching at the comedy club. It was curious and kind of turned on and kind of possessive, and oooooooh how I love it whenever he gives her that look (luckily, he does it quite often).

I feel a little cheated that we didn't get to see Tracy playing the bucket drum.

Jack had a ton of good lines, one in particular I thought was utterly brilliant, but now I can't remember what it was. I'm pretty sure he said it to Kenneth. Maybe.

STEVE BUSCEMI. He is never not awesome on this show. THE CHAMELEON!

Kenneth besting Jack! That's always awesome. I love that, even though he's naive to a fault, he's also pretty perceptive when he needs to be.

Josh! Poor Josh getting forgotten! Honestly, I kept forgetting him, too. Was he even in the last season?

MOCKAGE OF JAY LENO FTW!

Ooooooh, it feels good to have Jack and Liz back on my television every week.

5. It's Always Sunny. Another stinkeroo. I am beginning to think this season will never improve.

---------------------

Random Uther/Morgana observations:

1. Morgana looks at Uther's lips a lot. Like, a lot. I love it.
2. Uther's wardrobe has drastically improved in series 2, which we all have noticed, I'm sure, but I think what I love the most is that he leaves his shirt untightened, so we get all these lovely views of his chest, whereas series 1 Uther tied his shirt in a way that covered most of his chest. So... yeah, I'm digging the new wardrobe. Not only for chest flashes, but also because he looks way dreamier in blues than reds. And he is no longer forced to wear dodgy crowns (they kept my favorite one and seem to have abandoned the other two, which pleases me greatly).
3. They are sexy bitches.
4. They are totally married.

-----------------------

Random me observation:

I am only 25 and I am sprouting pure white hair right in the front where my hair meets in a point. I am totally turning into a female version of Steve Martin. NOT FAIR. It would be more fair if I could play the banjo and be a brilliant stand-up comedian, but I can do neither of those things, therefore, unfair.

THE BLUE BRINGS OUT HIS EYES AND IT'S SO LOVELY.

Also he gave Morgana one of his crowns. ICON PROOF OK.

I got my first white hair when I was 17. I'm now working on a Rogue stripe and will rock that shit when it's big enough to look badass. For now I dye it lotsssss.

WE CAN ROCK IT TOGETHER.

[firthgal.livejournal.com]

YESSSSSSS! THE BLUE-GREEN ESPECIALLY DOES LOVELY THINGS FOR HIS EYES! Oh, he's so beautiful.

Also he gave Morgana one of his crowns. ICON PROOF OK.

Ah, so that's where that crown went.

Also, ROGUE STRIPE! YES! I will totally rock that with you proudly.

Okay, first, Jack and Liz were sitting side by side like the couple that they totally should be.

I am glad this made other people happy, because I thought I was being weird.

Thirdly, Jack looked so besotted while Liz was singing that little jingle, and he was nodding his head and smiling like Liz singing the jingle is an every day occurrence and everyone should know it.

I thought I was imagining the nodding! omg, I am happy now because that makes that scene all the more awesome.

Fifthly, HOT DAMN BALDWIN LOOKS GOOD.

I heartily disagree with this.

I apologize for lying.

I feel a little cheated that we didn't get to see Tracy playing the bucket drum.

ha, me too.

I haven't watched Sunny yet. I'm sad it sucked again. :/

I tuned out of The Office for the most part because I was annoyed that plot was a main plot. But it was nice to see Andy in the mechanic's uniform, yes.

[firthgal.livejournal.com]

I heartily disagree with this.

Oooooh, I am so going to go on strike now until you sign a paper saying that you're a big old liar.

Also, I'm pretty sure the Jack nodding was not imagined, but don't take my word for it. Either way, they were totally married in that scene, definitely.

[michellek.livejournal.com]

LOL.

Other people did notice the Jack nodding, and watching it again I am sure he's doing it. So it's real. And adorable. Gah, I love them.

Also, I watched Sunny and it was pretty terrible. I only laughed at Charlie's responses to the online dating site profile questions.

[glenvorian.livejournal.com]

Dude, if you had any mob connections, I'd be so envious! Haha.

[firthgal.livejournal.com]

Nope, no mob connections. My dad worked for hotel restaurants owned by mobsters in his teenage years, and his uncles and cousins knew people in the mob, but none of my family are criminals, thank goodness. They used to get in fights quite a bit, though.

[angelascats.livejournal.com]

I never watch Community, but I did tonight and it was pretty funny. I love John Oliver. And Andy is super fucking sexy in a mechanic's uniform.

[glenvorian.livejournal.com]

I didn't laugh much though. But still, the fact it wasn't relationship-based is a nice plus.

[angelascats.livejournal.com]

my email said you replied to me but it doesn't look like you did. If you did though, are you talking about the Office or Community?

[glenvorian.livejournal.com]

The office, sorry. I make no sense sometimes. :P

[angelascats.livejournal.com]

It's all good :) I didn't laugh a whole lot either. Andy was funny though. Can I add you as a friend? I'm in a friend-adding thing. Is that weird?

[glenvorian.livejournal.com]

Sure, go ahead. :) My name is Angie, obviously. xD

[angelascats.livejournal.com]

My name is Talya, hello!

[firthgal.livejournal.com]

Community is shaping up to be a really great show. The first couple eps focused way too much on the main character, but once the show started using its ensemble it got a lot better. Also, Andy is super fucking sexy in everything. *dreamy sigh*

[angelascats.livejournal.com]

hell's yeah. Did you see The Hangover? There is a scene where he is in his underwear. Only his underwear. Oh dear he is sexy.

[firthgal.livejournal.com]

Yep! Saw Hangover, loved Ed in it (especially in nothing but his underwear...)

I went through an Ed Helms phase a couple years ago where he was my #1 man. He's just so very charming and hilarious and adorable. Basically, if I ever get married, I expect that my husband will be a lot like him.

[angelascats.livejournal.com]

I am in my Ed phase right now. *sigh* I saw The Hangover online (horrible quality) but they got that scene pretty good. :)

[glenvorian.livejournal.com]

When is that coming out on DVD? I'm too lazy to look it up, lol.

[angelascats.livejournal.com]

I really can't find it. Amazon says you can "watch it now," I guess that means you buy it online. Maybe next month?

[glenvorian.livejournal.com]

I hope so! It'll be one of the few dvds that I have bought this year.

[angelascats.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I might have to buy it, at least for the Ed factor.

[muic.livejournal.com]

I can't believe I missed all the Jack adoration bits and had to go and rewatch the episode (not that I need a reason to do that). Someone needs to .gif the nodding because it's quite possibly one of the most adorable Jack/Liz bits ever. I think I'm still quite giddy from the premiere.

And yes Baldwin looks good and I almost hate him for being able to make that smug-bastard-look so sexy after he got Kenneth to lie.

Andy in that baseball cap made him look so young! Best part of a really lame episode for me.

[firthgal.livejournal.com]

Oh man, I have been so Jack/Liz deprived this summer that I was ready to catch anything, no matter how small it was. I am still kind of giddy over how married they are.

HOT BALDWIN, GUH! His hair is better than ever, his eyes were so blue, and he is just looking mighty sharp. I don't know what he's doing, but I hope he keeps doing it.

Andy was so darn adorable in that baseball cap. I sort of just wanted to pinch his cheeks.

[glenvorian.livejournal.com]

Oscar and Dwight's acting have shined so much this season, it makes me giddy.

[angelascats.livejournal.com]

I've come to love Oscar more and more as the season goes by. He's such a doll!

[wench-for-hire.livejournal.com]

I have a lot of white hair, mainly residing near my left temple. And my hair being pretty much black, it's very obvious. I have a bunch here and there, and most of my thick-and-many hairs cover it. But meh, I really don't care.

Fucking Stacey London rocks her streak!

Push comes to shove, I can totally pull off Halle Berry's Storm. SO THERE! *pouts*

[firthgal.livejournal.com]

Hahaha, we are obviously forming our own band of the X-Men. Uuuuugh, I am way too lazy to dye my hair, but it's in the front, so I fear I'll have to eventually. Luckily my hair isn't black, it's brown, and I can maybe pass the white hairs off as highlights? Maybe? I don't know. My brothers don't have this problem! *huff* Of course, my oldest brother started going bald at my age, so I guess I shouldn't complain. :x

[la-faerie.livejournal.com]

JACK & LIZ ARE SO MARRIED, YESSSS. They were so adorable sitting together on the same side of that restaurant table, and it totally looked like Jenna and Tracy were their kids.

Poor Josh getting forgotten! Honestly, I kept forgetting him, too. Was he even in the last season?

OMG I love Josh, and I hope he only quit jokingly. We can't lose the character who exists solely to mock Jimmy Fallon! He was only in a few episodes last season. I think NBC had to furlough some of the regular actors in order to pay for the Parade of Guest Stars that was S3.


I'm so glad we agree on all these married tv couples. =D

[firthgal.livejournal.com]

YOU LOVE JACK/LIZ TOO? Oh man, you have good taste in ships. They have been in my top 3 ships rotation for years. I don't think they've dropped below #3 at all since I fell in love with them. Gaaaaah, they're so awesome. And yes! Tracy and Jenna definitely looked like their kids at the restaurant, I love it. And if 30 Rock cut Josh off (and most of the writer's room people) during season 3 purely to compensate all those awful guest stars, that is just sad. Particularly since they forced Selma Hayek on us for SIX FREAKING EPISODES. *shudders*

[hellopinkie.livejournal.com]

I think the problem with the office this week is that last week's episode was an absolute blast and written by one of the classic writers of the show, so, I guess that's why it's been a bit of a downfall for me. But well, I liked it, in an "okay" way. And Michael / Dwight / Andy interaction is heaven to me, so I can't complain. I love them together.

(And, once again, Dwight being all over Michael the whole time...<3 seriously, when he called the guy Dwight was just about to explode with love towards his boss. True fact.)

[firthgal.livejournal.com]

You're right, it did have some good Michael/Dwight-ness going on. I particularly loved how they looked totally married when discussing the terms of the insurance policy in the restaurant.

[hellopinkie.livejournal.com]

ABSOLUTE Michael/Dwight-ness.

They're SO MARRIED it hurts. God, I love them even more each week, LOL.

[kungfucarrie.livejournal.com]

Did you already see the ASH interview on the Paul O'Grady show? ASH discusses the dodginess of the crowns xD

[firthgal.livejournal.com]

Ha! No, I hadn't seen that prior to posting this. Oh man, I love him for recognizing when his crowns are awful. Also, he was ridiculously gorgeous in that interview, GUH! His hair was magnificent.

[kungfucarrie.livejournal.com]

Haha yes.. I love that little spiky tuft xD
(I'm not a fan of his ubershort Uther hair)

[firthgal.livejournal.com]

Oh, me neither. I like it floofy and bedhead looking. When he cuts it so short for the Uther look it makes his face look bigger than it actually is or something. I don't know. Still hot, but not reaching full hot potential.

[kungfucarrie.livejournal.com]

"Not reaching full hot potential".

LOL. YES THIS EXACTLY. I'm glad you knew what I meant.

IDK if they're trying to be time-period-appropriate or what. Merlin's hair is kind of silly looking, too, come to think of it. *returns to thinking of Uther immediately*

[oltha_heri.livejournal.com]

3. They are sexy bitches.
4. They are totally married.
I sense truth!

Jack and Liz are so awesome. They're hilarious and married.

[firthgal.livejournal.com]

TRUTHINESS PREVAILS!

#'s 3 and 4 could also easily be applied to Jack/Liz. My shipping preferences are rather predictable.

[stresseater.livejournal.com]

LOL, Steve Martin.

JACK/LIZ. Crap, I needed more. But the Jack/Liz in the credits was so fucking cute. And I know the Jay Leno dig was all over the news but I tend to just wait for things to happen when I watch 30 Rock so I got really excited when Alec Baldwin LOOKED RIGHT AT ME and did the Leno bit. Alec should look at us more. And is it just me or were his eyes so much bluer in this episode? GUH.

Also, Liz saying "Thanks, Meat Cat!" was adorable. Tinaaaa. She is cute as a button.

[firthgal.livejournal.com]

His eyes were so blue! OMG, I was simply mesmerized. That man gets more beautiful every time I look at him.

[stresseater.livejournal.com]

Oh, I almost forgot. ANNIE/PIERCE. Annie looked so hot after 26 hours in that room. And the bickering! This totally has potential. I also semi-shipped Annie/Abed and Annie/Troy in this episode. Haha. I dunno. Alison Brie is growing on me.

[firthgal.livejournal.com]

ANNIE/PIERCE! So much potential that it's insane. But I seem to ship Annie with EVERYONE, so next week I will probably pair her with someone else. *sigh* But Pierce and Senor Chang seem to be my favorite match-ups for her.
