SFF: Wednesday edition
Bones: HE IS SO DRUNK.
Bionic Woman: Improvement. But then, anything would be an improvement... Also, wow, can I see Eick's hands all over this show.
At the end of Bones, Booth is just drunk enough to have most of his defences down, but he still remembers he is not supposed to kiss Brennan. Nope. Not at all.
IN THE BEGINNING HE HUGS HER.
Right. All of that silly shippiness aside...
I still heart Angela/Hodgins. Especially because his hormones took over, and she wasn't worried at all--and then his hormones went away because FBIchick almost destroyed evidence! Mwahahahahah.
As always, nice mirroring of the two plots, there. *applauds*

BW.
Much improved from last week, although there's still stupid shit and clunky dialog out the whazooo. If Jamie starts doing voiceovers, Painkiller Jane will be calling. Especially after the "join our team" shit, which mirrors PKJ quite a bit (although Jamie didn't die on them, of course). They even have a resident Techie Geek. Sadly, he's not as awesome as Riley. In fact, Riley would pound this guy into the ground without breaking a sweat, then hack Jamie's nanobots.
Riley would totally leave Sarah for Jane and then there'd be porn.
Er...
Andre is much more interesting than Miguel F. A lot less obnoxious, too. Same goes for Obvious Plant Man in the form of Isaiah W. About the only one from their team I find the least bit interesting (apart from Wolf Metaphor Man, but only when he's nekkid and sexing up Sarah) is Faith from Third Watch. Maybe they can kill the rest, and just bring her in?
Loved Jamie breaking the one guy's rib. *snickers*
I missed the middle of this, but as predicted, they went to the Cover-Up town and *yawn* there was gas of some sort. Even more yawn-worthy was Isaiah's hard-ass act where he tortured some guy for Info. I read this issue of Painkiller Jane, guys. It had Jane and Ajira having sex in it. It was a lot better.
Little Sister makes a good plot device. She's only annoying when they need Jamie to be emo. Also, if Dr. Dead Boyfriend was choosing Jamie because she wasn't his daddy's choice for him, how come he's got the dossier? Oh, wait. Let me guess. He's been stalking her since whenever. *groan*
Oh, BW, you can't do conspiracy stuff for shit. Give it up, the X-Files was far better at it. Even Mulder on a fucking cross, hallucinating the future where he married Agent Bimbo was far better than this.
However. Honestly, the best part was naked Sarah. Now, if we could just have naked Sarah and naked Jamie...
sigh. Because, unfortunately, Katee really is the only one who Michelle has any sort of sparky chemistry with.
eta: Also, for a show that's supposed to be all GirlPower, the girls get rescued a lot by MEN.

(not that I have any of it, but it might be an option, if there's ep comms)
Evil, NAKED, Katee. Remember that.
Sackhoff is awesome, and causes far too much rpf in my head.
no subject
*nods* I can't be against it, having been sort-of writing it off and on since '99 or so. There'd be this whole thing about stones and glass houses....

Angela/Hodgins will never not be awesome, I think.

Though I hate that he didn't call out Old Mentor Dude on his shit for giving Brennan crap about just being good in bed and not worthwhile as a partner. But Brennan's response was awesome... "Yes, I AM good in bed."
She's cool.
Bionic Woman = still not cool. She's an Alias wanna be without the kicks. And little sister is boring mainly because it's:
Lil Sis: You're mean and I hate you!
Jamie: I can't handle this! I'm a secretly tortured part-robot and you're responsible for holding me back because I have to take care of you!
Lil Sis: You're SO mean! You don't even remember to kick the bad guy with your TWO bionic legs, vs. your one non-bionic arm! I want Dad!
Jamie: You don't wanna live with Dad!
Meanwhile, Sarah sits to the side and is hot. Why isn't the show about the real Bionic Woman?
end.

And I loved Brennan's reply about the sleeping together thing. Because it was so honest that it made OMD look like an idiot for saying so.
I've seen one episode of Alias and was incredibly unimpressed. BW is better than that one episode.
It is not, however, better than Painkiller Jane, which had very similar themes (girl gets involved with government agency accidentally because she has Special Powers, and ends up working for them in black ops situations...)
And, really, Buffy should be calling any day now, about the whole "Normal Girl in Extraordinary Situations" angst.
If the show were about Sarah, our screens might explode from the hot?

Hee. this is true. Though part of me just wants more Brennan kicking ass, please. But I love Brennan/Dad bits, and the way Booth is like the surrogate son-in-law.
I've seen one episode of Alias and was incredibly unimpressed. BW is better than that one episode.
I think it depends on what season you've seen (the first two are an entirely different show and awesome... particularly for the Sydney/Anna hotness because Gina Torres is hot) as well as whether you're more of a scifi fan or a spy stuff fan... All of it requires a suspension of disbelief, I guess, but it just depends on what world you buy into more.
But yes, Buffy totally invented the whole "Normal Girl in Extraordinary Situations" area, and at least she was an actual normal girl, y'know? Unlike Jamie, who apparently is brilliant as well, and worth stalking for two years... or whatever the hell is going on.
If the show were about Sarah, our screens might explode from the hot?
Word. But KS can pull off the vulnerable while kickass juxtaposition SO well, while Ryan is struggling, I think. Which hurts the show because it just comes across as confusion. I just don't buy Jamie wanting to really do anything to help. Or how can she not question the motives of the people who did this to her.. and oh yeah, invented a deadly toxic gas.
That's kind of the key with strong female roles, I think... if you look at Sam, Kara, Brennan, Buffy -- they could all be "normal" and vulnerable one second, while kicking someone's ass the second, and they do what it takes to get the job done, y'know?

Honestly, I had the same problem with it that I'm having with BW, actually: all the conspiracy shit that seems utterly pointless on top of the OMG Look How Normal She Is!!!!!!!11!!! crap.
If you want to get technical, Marvel and DC have the lock on THAT little gem, and have for years.
I did buy the thing with the woman, and I did buy her saying "maybe I should..." but I'm really hoping she says "fuck all of you" soon and goes rogue. Then she and Sarah can trade snark, keep her baby sister from destroying the internet, and kill Bad Guys.
Honestly, I think the woman on the bridge was as much of a setup as the dude in the bookstore with THE DOG and Miguel F. walking in on her drunken shenanigans. Not to mention, I wonder who really put that dossier under boringman's floorboard?

Therefore they should just change the whole show - 45 minutes of naked Katee Sackhoff just *sitting* right there on screen. Yum.
Or they could cancel BW, pick her up for a part in Eureka and have her character and Nathan Stark be together and hot.
