OMGWTFWASTHATSICKERY?! NOOOOO! *flails*

I just watched Life 2 x 06. Just...OMG. So wrong.

I could see where that final scene with Reese and Tidwell was going and I was screaming at them in my head, DON'T DO IT, PLEASE, OH, PLEASE, WRITERS, FOR THE LOVE OF PAGET BREWSTER, DON'T DO THIS TO ME.

Except they did. *headdesks*  I kinda saw this coming ever since ep 3 when he was super nice and sympathetic and supportive, but...GROSS SICK EWW, much? It doesn't make any sense to me that these two characters would hook up. I mean, Reese was always about being professional and on-task and reigning Charlie in because she was the sensible responsible one, perhaps due to the whole alcoholic self-destructive streak she was on before. And then she kisses that moron in the middle of the office where everyone can see them? What was she thinking? If he'd kissed her and that was it, FINE, it'd be in character for him to sleaze all over her, but for her to KISS HIM BACK? She doesn't like this guy, she doesn't even really respect him because he's been disgusting and crude and a juvenile frat boy since the moment they met. He's always paying out Charlie and making stupid insensitive remarks about people from prison, requiring them to give him dirty looks of disdain to put him in his place. And she kisses this guy?!

This ep was so so cool until that point. I mean, other than the whole 'shooting up Charlie's car' thing because that hurt. Didn't think it was necessary. I'm such a materialistic person that even though it isn't real and it isn't mine and I don't even want a car anyway, it still pained me to see it destroyed. I didn't understand what the point was in them doing that. I know the guy had a gun to the woman's head but emptying your gun into your only means of transport to hunt the guy down? Putting yourself in jeopardy should it go bad and there's a shootout in which you're at a distinct disadvantage due to lack of ammo? Wtf? 

Okay, and the pencil in Ted's hand was a bit much. Yuck. He was funny as usual, though. :D Him and Olivia...what IS it with this show and INFIDELITY? I'm so frakking sick of it, goddamn it all. But of all the couples, I'm most okay with Ted/Olivia because they're both sweet people and I feel like cooing over them when I see them together. But it was a little dumb to pull the pencil out. Such a sensitive delicate operation should only be undertaken by a TRAINED MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL. He could've started bleeding out there and then, omg!

But the rest of the ep was pretty cool. I was so loving the Crews/Reese dynamic, up on the roof with her ruining his zen moment. I love the lyrics that she played when she switched his music- 'you're a hole in my head', LOL.

Dani: I don’t think I like what you’re saying.
Charlie: I don’t think I like what I’m saying either.
Dani: You’re saying we have to stop Arthur Tims from getting killed ?
Charlie: Yeah, I guess we do.
Dani: Yeah, I guess we do.

I loved their 'repeating each other's words' exchanges.

Charlie: Looks that way.
Dani: Yeah but you think that’s what happened ?
Charlie: No. I just said it looks that way.
Dani: Because you really have to be aiming if you want the gas tank to explode like that.
Charlie: You really would.
Dani: And you really can’t tell if that’s Arthur Tims or not.
Charlie: You really can’t.
Dani: You know he could have burned down half the cash, and still walked away with a fortune.
Charlie: He really could have.

And my favorite exchange of the ep:

Dani: What are you thinking ?
Charlie: I’m thinking that when I woke up this morning, I wasn’t thinking that I’d have to kill somebody.
Dani: Now you think you have to ?
Charlie: No. Now I think I want to.

*snickers* :D

The bitter ex-wife was pretty funny too.

Tims’ ex-wife: Have you killed Arthur yet ?
Dani: No not yet.
Tims’ ex-wife: Oh.. I saw the called id and I got all excited! (…) Just, do me a favor : Call me back when Arthur’s dead.


At first I thought the lady doth protest too much and her hatred of him was too full-on and excessive to be real but it was great that it turned out she wasn't involved after all and her snarky exclamations of eternal hatred and vengeance were heartfelt and genuine. She was probably the funniest person in this ep, I think. The actress pulled off the blithe airy venom so well!

AND THEN HE GETS KILLED! I was so not expecting that.

I KNOW OMG! He was shouting and shouting and I just thought, shut up already, then BLAM! Blood and brains everywhere. >_< He did not go silently into the night, poor guy. I must say, Reese and Crews did a terrible job of shooting that car down. Aim for the tyres, much? Lol, this is me with my vast experience in how to disable cars, but...it makes sense, no?

How can anyone NOT want to drive it though? I know I would jumped at the chance to drive somwthing that sleek and shiny and powerful... Mmm....

HEH, raunchy! ;P

I know, I know, I'm like, so un-Australian, I have no interest in cars or driving...my parents keep nagging at me to get my learner's and they're all, 'we'll get you a car' like that's motivation and I'm going MEEP, PLZ, FOR GOODNESS SAKE, NO! *thinks of all the doomed pedestrians*

You definately are tripping BB... Can I have some?

Lol, I think it's the impending exams that have sent my body haywire, my hormones must be all screwed up. I'm bouncing between severe depression when I realize how badly I'm going to fail and fangirly glee when I log onto LJ for the peaceful oblivion and wilful shutting out of RL... if I could bottle up that chaos of emotion and adrenaline, it would be quite a trip. :P

I was actually impressed with their shooting because so many scenes these days simply has the people taking aim and then throwing their hands up as if the car is out of range when it's FIFTY FEET IN FRONT OF YOU *brainsplodes*

I'm not that interested in cars, per se, but anything that's shiny and goes fast can hold my attention for a few minutes ;)

ETA: Oh and you should get your licence if your parents are going to buy you a car. That is a really cool thing. And beside, think of your parents - then they wont have to run you around and you can have much more freedom ;)

Lol, well, you'd be the one to know when something is out of range or not. Usually my frustration with these scenes is exactly the opposite- when the person is RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE SHOOTER AND THEY INEXPLICABLY MISS AGAIN AND AGAIN.

anything that's shiny and goes fast can hold my attention for a few minutes

Heh, I don't know why but that reminded me of Paris Hilton when she was talking about booking a flight on the first commercial space flight freaking out, going, 'What if we get back and it's 10,000 years later? I'll be like, 'Damn, I have to start over again'...' LMAO! Like that's the FIRST THING YOU'D THINK when you find that everyone you ever loved is dead and the life you knew is over. But...it makes me wonder about her intelligence. Has she been reading those physics books on relativity and all that jazz? :D

Petrol is so expensive these days...it's almost cheaper to get the car than it is to fuel it and use it on a daily basis. That's what I hear anyway, lol. The main reason I'm thinking of getting my license is for the ID. I don't go clubbing or anything but it would making signing up for membership at video stores and stuff like that a lot easier.
