My EYES, they fell OUT OF MY HEAD. .

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!

DON'T KILL ME but I kind of like Tidwell :P Well, except for the slicked back hair *shudders* but after the "I want to kill someone" he was awesome.

"As your commanding officer if I hear that I have to take your gun so it's a good thing I didn't hear that."

Plus, I was totally agreeing with him about letting the kid-who-was-killed father kill Tims. I honestly do not see the problem.

AND I TOTALLY LOVED THAT EX-WIFE LMAO! She was prepared to do anything to help them kill him. Brilliant :D

I liked the scene where they're driving in Crews' car because all the other cars are inuse *wink wink* She totally just wanted to drive it. And hell who wouldn't! It's shiny :D
