Just kidding, I didn't actually watch The Office this week. I can't work up the will. #stillmourning
Community, 2x23: A Fistful of Paintballs
AWESOME EPISODE WAS AWESOME²! I don't know where to begin because every time I start recalling a scene I burst out laughing again. XD So, salient points:
• I looooved how all of the background characters were utilized - especially Vicki and Garrett, lmfao! Except I'll be pretty disappointed if Magnitude doesn't show up next week, not gonna lie.
• The PRIZE, and how everyone was stunned into silence. rofl.
• Abed. Abed eating Annie's beans. Abed and Troy. Abed. And his outfit recalling Castiel's "is it customary to wear a blanket?"
--SPEAKING OF WHICH, WE INTERRUPT THIS EPISODE REACTION TO DEMAND FROM THESE WORLD WIDE INTERNETS CROSSOVER FANWORKS THIS VERY WEEK. EDITS, FANVIDS, I DON'T CARE: JUST DO IT--
• "He's a jerk because we exclude him." "We exclude him because he's a jerk."
• OMG BLACK RIDER. LMFAOOO FOREVER. "You guys are terrible people." Much, much love also to Jeff's self-conscious responses whenever people called Black Rider hot.
• "My forehead's not that big, right?" {TOTES CHANNELING FLYNN RIDER BTW} "It's not small."
• lol now I'm just quoting the whole episode at you. I'm sorry. Nah, I'm not sorry, it was THAT awesome. :D
• FORT HAWTHORNE, LOL LOL LOL FOREVER. VICKI AND GARRETT AND LEONARD AND I WAS DYYYYYYIIIIIING OMG!
• Pierce was so great and evil and did I mention great? "She's a Dance major, Jeff!" lmfao.
• I have no idea when this happened, but uh, I realized I'm OK with Chang now? O_O
• JEFF AND ABED TO THE RESCUE! BLACK RIDER SPINNING OUT OF THE ROOM! TOO MUCH AWESOME TO PROCESS!
• "She's pretty awesome today."
• The fall of Fort Hawthorne, lmfao. "I can't go back out there. This is the only life I know!" PLEASE STICK AROUND, VICKI.
• Annie was the HBIC. She is the Ace of Hearts. I love her. The End! :D
• lmfao Pierce's fake stroke.
• "I'm outta here, I got Coldplay tickets." ♥
In short: TOO MUCH AWESOME OH MY GODS.
The Vampire Diaries, 2x21: The Sun Also Rises
(I had no TVD tag before, really? Self, I am disappoint.)
The short and long of it: FUCKING ELIJAH. I cried my eyes out.
The even longer: I have so many feelings and then I saw them all visually expressed on Tumblr and the words kind of fail me now, you know? I am so overwhelmed by this episode, I can't even tell you.
I'll mention one thing I haven't seen talked about, because it drove me UP A WALL in the good way as it happened: right after Damon tells Stefan about the wolf-bite, Stefan is like dumbstruck and his fingers are fidgeting like crazycakes and oh gods, I love you Paul Wesley. That is such a little detail, yet it lends so much intensity to the situation - like of COURSE Stefan's gonna be gasping for air and feeling so many things he can barely contain. <33333333
Also, ALL THE AWARDS FOR CANDICE IN THAT ONE SCENE. That one moment with Tyler when Caroline goes from laughter to tears in a blink was so amazing and heartbreaking and so completely in-character as well. Holy shit. Contender for favorite scene in an episode RIFE with them.
Elsewhere, Bonnie continues to be fierce as hell. I only wish we'd seen more pay-off for her efforts.
Elena and Jeremy continually break my heart, and I don't even know how to deal with the deaths of both Jenna AND John. I totally get why John gave his life for Elena's, and it's not like he'd been around a lot, but I actually enjoyed that element of the story. I think it concluded in a great fashion, so I'll miss John but his arc feels complete and overall I really liked it. Jenna's demise is tougher, man. I know she was scarcely in the midst of action, but she was such a presence all the same, y'know? I think I'm gonna miss her a lot in coming episodes. Elena's last scenes with her were freaking heartwrenching, beautiful. Ugh, such great work by everyone. That said, can Jer ever catch a fucking break? That poor kid, I marvel at his resilience.
I wish I bought for a second that Damon was in any real danger now, because it probably would give all of his actions so much more meaning, but I just can't. So, "she doesn't need another grave to mourn?" What the fuck, dude, she's gonna just think you ran away? After "I'll always choose you"? Errrp derp.
I probably have more thoughts that didn't make it to this post, so I urge y'all to talk to me about this episode! Can't wait for the finale, omg.
Bones, 6x23: The Signs In The Silence
Halfway through this episode, I found myself wondering: what the fuck is this?!
It's like they had this stash of unused AWESOME and decided to use it all up in one script. I loved the case, I loved Arastoo, Caroline was there (automatic win right there), fucking Sweets being amazing with Brennan and bringing up their experiences in the foster system (he gets such a bad rep in fandom but I thought he was integral to this story, and John Francis Daley did a great job with the stuff), and Booth with his anger and insecurities and that truly wonderful last scene.
A+ episode. Also the promo? LET ME DIE. brb flailing forever.
I can't believe the Fringe season finale is tonight, either. Shit, that season flew by.
