SpyMommy is my homegirl
Jul. 28th, 2004 05:30 pmYou know, I just have the worst, awfulest sneaking suspicion that when Alias gets back they're going to tell us that not only is good ole' Bill Vaughn alive, they're gonna show us that he and SpyMommy had mad crazy sex. I don't care how plausible or inplausible it is... I fear it. Muchly.
*sighs* Anyway, Lena Olin still kicks all kinds of asses and is beyond gorgeous and fantastic and like, you know, even hotter than Jen Garner and the center of the earth. I mean, Jen's my girly crush, but Lena Olin is just... just... and this, coming from a heterosexual female. I forgot how much I missed her.
Talked to Nita for awhile today- it was so fun speaking to her. We haven't talked in ages due to weird MSN/AIM/AOL weirdness, so she got YIM and now we're talking! Alias is fun! YAY!
She fed my ego like whoa and said that my fic was good. It was so awesome. I'm so insecure. *sigh*
Tess is right, 2.01 is called 'The Enemy Walks In' and I'm just stupid. No matter. Tess and Regina put me straight. I love Regina.
What is it about reality-show participants, that they feel a constant need to invoke the Deity in their various banal and/or downright venal activities? Do they really think it's appropriate to involve the Lord in their caber-tossing and testicle-eating?
We feel it's important to let reality-show contestants know that, in the grand scheme, their divine importunings are pointless -- and that, specifically, God doesn't stoop to interfere with unscripted TV. As an astute observer we know once commented: a reality-show contestant should think of God as he did his mom when he was a kid. As in, you don't bug Mom, or try to get her to mediate your petty squabbles, when she's trying to enjoy some solo Mom time. Like when she's taking a bath, getting her Calgon on: you don't barge on in there to see if you can shave the dog; you do not bother Mom when she's in the tub.
And so it is with God. Your reality-show shenanigans are like unto the shaving of the dog. And God, like Mom, is in the tub. Wear the shirt that will remind reality-show contestants of this fact ever after.

I just can't believe the Sloane/Nadia thing about angels and "I'm sad for you and Lauren" were in the same episode!
no subject
Date: 2004-07-28 04:52 pm (UTC)You WOULD laugh when Lauren was dying! Traitor.
But Season of Angst... nice terminology.
Dude, wasn't the Sloane/Nadia thing "Legacy" and "I'm sad for you and Lauren" in "The Frame?" :P

Date: 2004-07-28 04:55 pm (UTC)And it wasn't my fault Lauren's death was funny and stupid. And she lurched about like Jack Sparrow and choked out numbers. It was funny.
Oh, and I think you're right about the quotes. Meh. *shoots self* There was some nice dialogue in the "I'm sad for you and Lauren" episode, though. At least, I remember wondering how some of it could be such crap when other parts were at least decent.
no subject
Date: 2004-07-28 05:09 pm (UTC)LMAO about poor Lauren. I hated how she came back to life or whatever like that. It was like, BANGBANG! No, wait! 1...0...6...2! Okay, Vaughn, now you can BANGBANG because I have served my purpose!
LOL, the "I am sad for you and Lauren" episode had, let's see... (1) Vaughn being all, I'm not happy (2) Sark and Lauren talking about offing Papa Reed (3) Lauren not being able to off Papa Reed after all his, I love my daughter!-talk... so, yeah. Maybe #3 is what you're thinking about? *Has no clue*
no subject
Date: 2004-07-28 05:14 pm (UTC)Yeah, it did have a very "I have served my purpose" vibe, which was kind of sad. And they'll never explain why she knew those numbers. Poor poor PlotDevice!Lauren.
Meh, I really don't remember. Maybe it was some other crap dialogue in Legacy that I was thinking of. Was that the one where Vaughn asked Syd to get back together with him and she was all, meh?
no subject
Date: 2004-07-28 07:11 pm (UTC)Yeah, poor Lauren! Hopefully Season 4 will explain why she knew the numbers... as well as that whole "pawn" talk, you know? Because I just think there HAS to be a connection between Jack and Lauren--maybe he somehow betrayed her (by giving her up as the mole) and this is her way of getting back?
Yeah, the "Vaughn asked Syd to get back together with him and she was all, meh?" was "Legacy," yeah. That was weird as all, and was supposed to have been because of the brainwashing. Pleaseletthatplotlinebedead...
no subject
Date: 2004-07-28 07:20 pm (UTC)Dude, season 4 is so pretending Lauren was never even born. The numbers will be like Hong Kong. But it does seem odd to me how much he wanted her to be dead, but not traced back to him.
Yeah, the brainwashing plotline made no sense, and I'm glad it died.
no subject
Date: 2004-07-28 08:04 pm (UTC)*DIES* Season 4 is going to be interesting, I'll grant you that. And don't you know better than to bring up HONG KONG around me? LOL. Yeah, Jack was pretty hell-bent on having Lauren offed, so I think there has to be something there. *GASP* Maybe LACK was a ship after all, and that's what he's hiding!
Yes, SO glad they did away with the brainwashing. But watch them bring it back randomly in Season 4. Like, Vaughn has a random headache, and so he goes to the doctor, and the doctor's all, "You've been brainwashed, haha..." And meanwhile we're all like... dying. Of laughter. And our tears, falling like waterfalls and drowing us beneath the seven weeping moons, who weep for Alias, too.
no subject
Date: 2004-07-28 08:13 pm (UTC)By the time Alias ends, you're going to have a whole host of Hong Kongs haunting you, lmao. And dude, how much would Syd die at Lack? It'd send her into like, spasms of horror.
Han Solo would cry too. :P

Date: 2004-07-28 08:34 pm (UTC)Speaking of Hong Kongs, you know what else ticks me off? The CIRCUMFERENCE. I was reading an article about the FBI today, and they kept mentioning Director Mueller, which totally killed me, but at the same time ticked me off beyond all reason. What did it do? Was it like, some biological weapon or something? Why did toxic water have to be contained in the big red ball? Why red, why not blue? And how did they get in the water in there? Was there really no water, but it just turned into water when it was a-poppeded?
Oh, and Lack would totally be the death of Sydney, lmao. Vaughn would probably be icked out, too. And Sark. I, however, would find it positively hysterical, and I would most likely never be able to take the show seriously *at all* ever again. Oh, just thinking about it...
Han Solo is going to some box of Kleenex for season 4, but we're going to have to order from you all up in Canaydia, because he depleted the States' supply during season 3.
no subject
Date: 2004-07-28 08:43 pm (UTC)The Circumference never made sense to me. I'd just assumed it was some sort of biological weapon meant to contaminate a water supply. You'd think, if it turned into water like that, that they'd store it in a safer manner, though.
Eh, Sark wouldn't be icked out. He slept with Lauren's mom. :P And it would kind of seal the show's fate as a bad spy soap, wouldn't it?
Poor, poor Han. He must have cried a lot.
no subject
Date: 2004-07-28 09:05 pm (UTC)The Circumference never made sense to ANYONE. It truly was never explained. And it was supposed to contaminate the water supply... why would Rambaldi want that? And how would that much be enough to contaminate the world's water? If that's even what they wanted.
Sark did NOT SLEEP WITH YELENA SLASH OLIVIA! She just saved his ass, she did not... oh, who am I kidding?
The show as always been a bad spy soap, you know that. :P
Yes, poor Han indeed. *Hugs Han* He really appreciates this long hiatus; he now has much more time to recover!
no subject
Date: 2004-07-28 09:14 pm (UTC)Well, not the whole world's water, just a part of it. And maybe, Rambaldi intended for Vaughn to get sick so that Sloane would work with Sark and all that other stuff would happen, but he made the bads think it could be used to contaminate water, so they would make it.
And you know he did. She was one evil old lady.
Right now it's just a spy soap. No babies yet, or body swtiching or anything. Though technically there was a possession . . . hm.
Oh, I'd never thought of it that way! Good for Han.
no subject
Date: 2004-07-28 09:23 pm (UTC)Sark likes women with personalities, and I'm sure Olivia has one HELL of a personality. :P
We almost had a baby. And dude, the Francie/AG Doren thing is so "body switching" for me, lmao. Granted, Francie didn't get to be AG Doren, but whatever. It's like the whole evil twin complex.
*Pats Han...'s butt*
no subject
Date: 2004-07-28 09:38 pm (UTC)Oh, I'd imagine she does.
True, I forgot about evil twins. Dammit. :P
Poor Han. You can pet his hair and he won't freak out. :P
