So, yesterday I was not feeling so swell, so I called into work yet again, and... well, I made this silly vid that NO ONE WILL EVER WATCH, because... that's what I do when I'm not feeling so swell? I don't know, I don't know, but here you go:
My first vid in ages and I do it to Dream High. BUT I COULDN'T HELP MYSELF. I am so, so in love with Jason/Pil Suk that it's sad. I have been watching their scenes obsessively and swooning like crazy. And the latest ep just sent them into angsty territory, and OMG I LOVE THEM. LOVE LOVE LOVE. I was fearing that the show would just throw them together after Pil Suk's transformation, but I freaking LOVE the fact that during the process of losing all that weight and working so hard to achieve a goal, she realized that doing it
for Jason was crazy and just ended up doing it for herself (which was what Jason wanted, but obviously she doesn't know that yet). And I love that Jason just wanted her to lose weight so that she could debut, and
not for any other reasons. He already liked her, already cared about her and worried about her, and while he was gone he kind of realized that he
did like her. But, of course, after her transformation he is now fully aware that he's attracted to her, but
oh do I love Pil Suk for realizing she's outgrown him. And, really, she still likes him, but she wants him to want things. She wants him to be motivated to work for something, and she's sacrificing in order to do that. And, I just love how they both kind of get each other to do the things that they need to do without really letting the other one know about it. Oh, oh, and best part? Even though Pil Suk has told him that she doesn't feel as strongly for him as she did before, and even though he is angry at her for pointing out that he has no direction in life, she still left a lollipop on his locker like always, and he still took it. HOW ARE THEY SO ADORABLE EVEN WHEN THEY'RE FIGHTING? I just don't know. But I love them, and I can't wait to see where the show goes with them. I know that they only get a few minutes devoted to them in each ep, but somehow it's become the most intriguing and well done romance on the show. I &HEARTS THEM KIND OF A LOT.
I was not too fond of my Thursday night shows this week:
Community was great in parts and mediocre in others, but overall the ep wasn't to my taste. I loved the music though. And Annie's pantomimed sex scene with Abed. And Britta's righteousness. But I spent a lot of the beginning trying really hard to follow what they were saying and a lot of it went over my head. Once they started playing though it got pretty funny. Just... well, it's hard to be interesting when the entire plot is all talking and they don't actually get to show us any of this stuff that they're talking about, but I thought the show did a fairly good job in doing what it was trying to do. But, yeah, the ep just wasn't for me. I don't know. I think I still harbor bad feelings towards AD&D because of my oldest brother (not only did he try to force me and my other brother into playing, but there were many weekends where he and his AD&D buddies would take over the basement for HOURS at a time and me and my other brother weren't allowed to go down there, and that's where all of our toys were! *huff*) I think this is one that will be hilarious upon repeated viewing because I think I just missed a lot of the jokes the first time around. Also, I love Pierce and I hate that he's been such a douchetastic villain in the past few eps, and his character is just getting more and more depressing. I mean, I sort of do love that aspect of him, but I think I preferred him being the douchetastic, oblivious old fool as opposed to the crazy, intentionally hurtful villain that he's become. But, I guess it's necessary to show that Pierce isn't always as harmless as the characters (and sometimes the audience) like to think he is. It was perfectly understandable for this ep though to emphasize his evilness, since the sci-fi fantasy parody required a villain. Basically, I thought it was a great ep for what it was trying to do, but it's not one of my favorites.
The Office was kind of blah. The show emphasized all the reasons why Michael/Holly has never appealed to me. They are carbon copies of each other, and I hate that the show just translates that into being true love (it tried to do that with Andy/Erin, it accomplished it with Jim/Pam, and now they're just being ridiculous with Michael/Holly). But, I can't even find the strength to care anymore, really. Michael is narcissistic, so it makes perfect sense that he's in mad love with Holly. What doesn't make sense is that she just randomly appeared in his life and is exactly like him in every way. But, whatever. Michael needs his happy ending, I guess. Also, I still love Erin for disapproving of Michael/Holly. At least someone is there to voice my complaints! It somehow makes Michael/Holly easier to accept.
Parks and Rec was an even bigger blah for me this week. Nothing much happened, and nothing much made me laugh. This was the first disappointing ep of that show for me in a long time.
30 Rock was probably my favorite show of the night. Made me laugh quite a bit, and I enjoyed the commentary on the Jack/Liz friendship (like Liz pointing out that she does way more for him than he does for her lately, and Jack making it clear that
he chose
her as a friend and not the other way around. For some reason those bits pleased me). Also, I thought Liz posing for the pics was hilarious and not about her being gross. She did it for Jack! It was all for Jack. ♥ I love that this show has completely rejuvenated itself this season. I don't quite know what changed, but they're doing something right. Probably because they're actually letting Jack and Liz be friends this year. I don't know what the heck was going on last season.
Vampire Diaries! Nothing super shocking happened, but I still really enjoyed the episode. Caroline! ♥ Oh, my heart. I am sorry, Tyler, but I don't think that I can ever forgive you, even though I understood where you were coming from. But it was
Caroline, you douchehead! The Stefan/Caroline scenes were beyond awesome. I freaking love those two and wish they could get
more scenes together, but their chemistry is kind of wonderful and unintentionally hot and I don't think the show has any intention of ever going there, so I guess they don't want to lead the audience astray. BUT THEY ARE SO WONDERFUL TOGETHER. As for Damon... *sigh* Sometimes I wonder why I adore him so much. He is
such a bastard! But, I can't seem to resist complex villains (or... anti-heroes, I guess would be the more accurate term. But sometimes Damon
is a villain, so it's hard to tell. But I guess since he's not a villain in relation to the heroes of the story, he doesn't count as a villain).
