sff: early morning omg edition
Poirot, Taken at the Flood: Are they finally running out of Christie to mine?
Bionic Woman 1.3: Improvement, but IW needs to get dropped, soon. Ugh.
Poirot.
Still an awesome cast, but, damn. They're really getting to the ones that are kinda... lame. Not to mention, but, dude, I miss Hastings. A LOT. Even Japp would be more fun! I miss Miss Lemon (Limon?), too. Bah.
BW.
In random order, although, again, I can see Eick's hand all over this 'gritty realism' shit, and, god, it needs to go.
1. Anthros is all in Sarah's head. I like this theory way more than the idea that he's actually there and being the most boring cliche doctor-type ever.
2. Hey, Sarah, if you want her to trust you, killing her sister doesn't help. Even if I'd cheer.
3. Ruth is the awesomest, scariest woman ever and I think I love her.
4. For once, I actually kinda liked Jonas (write this morning down in the history books, people).
5. Unfortunately for all involved, the Burket stuff is really the dumbest shit ever. And I love that Heaven was brought into a top secret facility. That was AWESOME. Y'know. And so very very plausible.
6. Why is Isaiah Washington on this show again? He's the worst part of every episode. Seriously, even watching Jaime beat his pointless ass into the ground isn't interesting enough for me to watch it in normal-speed.
7. Speaking of training. Jae was actually awesome, as well. And he and Jaime training together = hot. And just pretty and fun to watch.
8. O HAI COHEED AND CAMBRIA. (played over the opening training scene)
9. I felt a lot of the writing in this episode was vastly improved. Now, if they could just dump the Burket angle and make the show all about Sarah and Jaime running around, saving people, that would be awesome. Some sex would be good, too.
10. Otoh, hey guys? You have real issues of female empowerment if all strong women have to be lesbians and want babies and sisterhood.
11. Sarah was still the hottest thing, but Jaime in her tank, all hot and sweaty and training? omg.
12. The fight in the nail salon was fucking funny as hell, btw. The girls were TOTALLY playing with the dudes--also, Jaime's fighting ability is very, ah, inconsistent. Last episode, she couldn't even figure out how to punch the soldier, she trumped Sarah in the pilot, and this episode, she and Jae were doing awesome things and then she kicked the asses of most of the guys in the shop.
13. "Rock, paper, scissors, for the last guy." FARSCAPE CALLBACK.
14. Kid Sis is still annoying as fuck, though I'm pleased to note that my AU fic where Sarah kidnaps her to save Jaime from Burket is totally canon (and scarily so, huh).
15. Jaime can hack her own bionics. So can Sarah. Well, really?
16. Sarah is a coke addict now. Or is it morphine? Gee. Funny how women aren't allowed to be accomplished and strong and kickass without massive addictions, flaws, and mothers who beat them (oh, wait, WRONG SHOW).
17. What idiot thought 'to be continued' actually made sense, there? Unless Sarah LIED, Jaime's sister is only unconscious, not dead, poisoned, or otherwise in danger for her life.
18. Sleazy nerd guy needs to die. I forgot him until now. Seriously, he was really annoying.
19. Although, Sarah's pointing out they'll watch her in the shower is so very true.
20. Seriously, they dump IW, the Burket storyline, Will-angst, Anthros, and Kid Sis, and this show might be interesting. Ruth could be their pimp, sell their skills to whichever government could afford them, and they'd be kicking ass everywhere.

p.s. I bet they bring back what's his name as mr. bionic.

ok, so that's over-simplifying it. But.
Also, I don't want to know that Ruth and Jonas had a thing, because, damn, Ruth could do so much better.
If they would dump all of the men except Jae, I'd be happy. Jae is eye-candy, and his training bits look really nice. Every other male is useless (and just as much of a stereotype, so at least they're not leaving the men to be more interesting).
I mostly like Sarah. She's still hitting some very flat notes for me, but Katee is lovely to stare at. Also, her sudden sister is, um, really predictable and boring. sigh.
*uses appropriate icon* Now, if only Jimmy Palmiotti were writing it.

God, yes. I'm sure it was Will, in his plan to rule the world... sigh. I'm not sure it makes you a hack. Just, um, you know your cliches? The difference is in how you execute it all.
Sidenote: I really really want Anthros to be a hallucination of Sarah's. He was there, the very first time and left all those drugs, but now he's gone...
