cordelianne: (VM Mars' Hmm)
Not only were four of my television shows on last night, but I also had three of my friends over to watch Veronica Mars. At one point, my friend told us that a friend of hers had informed her that Christian Kane had bragged about being with Paris Hilton. After the shuddering, one of my friends (who reminds me of Brennan on Bones) said that she'd heard of Paris Hilton but didn't think she'd ever seen her.

Another friend responded: It’s like cockroaches, you know if you've seen one because they make you all shuddery and icked out. You've probably seen Paris Hilton and she's made you feel like that.

This is one of my favourite similes ever, Paris Hilton is like a cockroach.

Veronica Mars ‘Plan B’ 2:17, or My happy inner fangirl

There was so much happening on last night’s episode that I doubt I’ll be able to address it all, so here’s some of my random reactions:

- I like to pretend that I’m all analytical and rational about my tv shows (ha! I am so delusional), and the Logan/Veronica dance proved me completely wrong because it brought out my inner squeeing fangirl. Fortunately I entertain my friends, because one of my friends watched me during the scene (that reminds me of when my friends turned and watched me crying when Buffy rescued Spike in “Showtime”). I was grinning and had pulled my hoddie up so I was kind of hiding behind it (yes, I am a big dork!).

It’s not that I want Veronica and Logan to get together ... yet. I just loved how they’ve both clearly been trying to get over each other and that the dancing together wasn’t helping.

- How awesome was it when Veronica high fived Logan for being a bad boy?! That was definitely another one of my favourite scenes in the episode.

- Speaking of bad boys, I adored Logan as the Honorary Deputy County Commissioner who stole Lamb’s parking spot!!

- How creepy was it when Woody felt Logan’s bicep? Jeff Jensen at Entertainment Weekly has a theory that Woody molested Cassidy which explains Cassidy’s behaviour with Mac. It makes more (scary) sense than the idea that Cassidy is gay (that’s just way to obvious for VM). I love MacCassidy so I hope they can work it out.

- When the Fitzpatricks left Thumper tied to the urinal I was disappointed because it didn't seem very bad. Then my friend pointed out Thumper was probably in the soon to be destroyed stadium (my friend is so smart). Ah, the irony of Logan initiating the explosion which likely kills the guy responsible for the murder Logan was framed for.

- Weevil made me love him so much when he declared his love for Felix. Normally I immediately jump to slashy connotations with a line like that, but I was so blown away by his genuine feelings for Felix to think about slash.

Bones ‘The Man with the Bone’ 1:18, Pirates!!!

PIRATES!!! Um, yeah, I loved all the pirate stuff. By complete coincidence I was wearing my pirate hoodie, so I felt dressed for the occasion. The slashy talk was awesome:

You want to go down?
It’s my shaft.
Ain’t afraid of a tight squeeze are you?
Salt the shaft.


Didn't it look like they recycled vampire Willow’s outfit for the pirate queen girl?!

I'm really loving this show. It's lovely that David Boreanaz has such a perfect role for him on such a god show.

Six degrees of Joss on last night's Bones:

Rodney Rowland who plays Dane McGinnis on Bones is the very scary Liam Fitzpatrick on Veronica Mars (he was on VM last night too), was also Corbin Fries on Angel (“Conviction” 5:1).

Fredric Lehne who plays Giles Hardewicke on Bones was Ranse Burgess on Firefly (“Heart of Gold”). He also is Marshal Edward Mars on Lost.

David Wells who plays Harley Frankel on Bones was the Cheese Man on Buffy (“Restless” 4:22)!!

Lost ‘Dave’ 2:18, It’s all about Hurley

This was not my favourite episode. The twist were too obvious (Dave is imaginary, who would have thought?!). And I don't for one second think that everything is Hurley and Libby's hallucinations. meh.

I like Hurley, so I had fun watching his scenes, it's just that the story wasn't very original or that interesting. In a way Hurley seemed like a Mary Sue because he got to express the fans' crazy theories about the show.

Big question: Why would Hurley throw out the food when he could just give it to the other people on the island? The waste of food really bothered me.

Loved Sawyer's line to Kate:
Don’t you have an adventure to get to? Timmy’s down a well that way.

The Amazing Race 9 ‘Sleep Deprivation is Really Starting to Irritate Me’ 9:6

I'm sad that Dave and Lori were eliminated because they were so sweet, and nerds! I LOVE the hippies, and they totally cracked me up with their faux sign up sheet. I'm cheering for them and Ray & Yolanda.

Smallville 'Void' 5:17, They taunted us with no James Marsters

For some reason I thought James would on this episode, so it was a severe disappointment that he wasn't. Here's some things I noted while watching the episode:

- JM is hiding in foliage! Clearly from crazed fangirls!
- Oooh, Clark is seeing his boyfriend nemesis in the forests of British Columbia Honduras.
- Lionel is moving fast now that Jonathan's dead. Good on Martha for making it clear she's not into him, although I doubt that'll be a deterrent for Lionel.
- Is this memory thing with Lana a metaphor for drug use? If so it's very subtle./sarcasm
- Have you ever noticed that Lex's mansion has the WORST security ever?!
- Um, Lana didn't want to lie to Lex but she was okay stealing from him? Yay, Lex just said that and he made the drug use metaphor text.
- I love how a character (in this case Lana) can crack up in one episode on Smallville. Of course, this show is always having characters have a sudden personality transplant.
- Lex takes after his dad - he's a fast mover too.
- I like how mean Lex's mom is to him.
- Surprise, surprise. Chloe is very smart and saves the day (mostly).
- Aw, you know Clark's gonna see Jonathan and it'll make me cry (it did). It's nice that Clark is getting some closure.
- I love that Lex lied to Lana about what his mother told him. Yay for increasingly evil Lex!
- I'm pleased that they're having Clark try to redeem his jerky behaviour from last week.
- Nice ending, I'm impressed that Smallville restrained itself from using a popular song in its last few moments.

I finally caught up on my lost sleep caused by evil Daylight Savings, because I accidentally slept until 3:30pm (I was up really late, vampire hours late). Fortunately I had enough time to enjoy the beautiful spring-like day and walk to work!!

James-lessness always makes me sad. Especially after being treated to 4 of them the previous week. They're sadists, I tell you, sadists!

They're very evil! Taunting us with 4 James one week and a picture of him behind foliage the next! And it doesn't look like he'll be on this week's episode. *pouts* But I'll still be watching just in case!

Maybe they're turning it into a Smallville game..."Where's James?" Like Waldo he could be lurking anywhere and we just have to find him.

Well, at least he's wearing khakis or skin-tight Speedo suits and not dorky striped stocking caps...though he does look hot with glasses! *runs off to get magic marker*

Last week's episode totally felt like a "Where's James?" game! Especially with him trying to blend into the jungle.

Yes, the khakis and Speedo suits are FAR sexier than striped caps! He's adorable with glasses, they make him seem more vulnerable. *sighs*
