you have no idea how literally i mean my "television is the love of my life" tag
+ I seriously just DO. NOT. UNDERSTAND. how Parks and Recreation can be so consistently wonderful and glorious and beautiful and sweet and joyous and delightful and happy. And I don't post reactions to it, because I would literally be repeating back every line or facial expression (I want to be BFFs with Aziz, y'all. He can go everywhere with me and make his big :O face because it brings me such delight). Because all of it is flawless. I watched this last episode with my hands clasped under my chin and a huge grin on my face--just like I watch every episode. HOW SO WONDERFUL? I DO NOT UNDERSTAND.
The only thing I will actually say about it (because if I get started, I won't ever stop) is that just when I didn't think I could love Ben Wyatt: Human Disaster (and yes, that is how I refer to him in my mind) more, HE TOLD TOM THAT HE WASN'T REALLY A FAN OF PETER JACKSON'S INTERPRETATION OF LORD OF THE RINGS. ME NEITHER, BEN! Visually, it's absolutely perfect, and I enjoyed all of the movies, and there were some characters who were beyond perfectly cast, but Jackson doesn't really get the influences--mostly Northern European epics and elegaic poetry--and it showed. And don't get me started on what he did to Faramir. Shutting up now.
+ Well, Matt Davis had a good time filming this episode, didn't he? I was really happy for him--he was having a blast, and it showed.
Mine and Lil Sis' viewing went something like this:
(Ten minutes in)
Me: If they kill of Bonnie, I'm never going to watch this show again.
Her: Me, neither. She's my favorite. I really think she's my favorite. And she's so pretty. I have a woman crush on her.
Me: Me, too. She's awesome. But I hear they're going to kill lots of characters soon. Matt's going to bite it, I know it. And probably Jenna.
Her: Oh, I like Jenna.
Me: Me, too. They could actually do something with her character, and that would be good.
Her: Yeah, that would be good.
(Five minutes later)
Me: Seriously, they can't kill Bonnie. They can't.
Her: They better not.
(Ten minutes later)
Me: If they kill Bonnie, I'm going to hunt someone down.
Her: ... [She's getting bored with my fear by now]
(Ten minutes later)
Me: SHE ISN'T DEAD. SHE CAN'T BE DEAD. I REFUSE TO BELIEVE SHE'S DEAD. THERE ARE TEN MINUTES OF THE EPISODE LEFT. IT'S LIKE IN A PROCEDURAL--IF THEY THINK THEY'VE FOUND THE KILLER, BUT THERE ARE STILL FIFTEEN MINUTES LEFT, THEN THEY'RE WRONG, AND IT'S SOMEONE ELSE. SHE ISN'T REALLY DEAD. IT'S A FAKE OUT.
Her: [giant eyes; speechless]
(Ten minutes after that)
ME: I KNEW SHE WASN'T DEAD! I KNEW IT! I KNEW IT!
Her: Well, that's good. I want to watch her make out with Jeremy some more.
Little Sister: proving that sometimes she actually has good taste.
Anyways! This episode will henceforth be known as the Bonnie Is a Badass episode. I mean, this should really be called the Bonnie Is a Badass Show, but she was especially badass this episode. I adore her so.
The part with Katherine and her leg was DISGUSTING, but OMG I LOVE KATHERINE and I like that Klaus doesn't seem bent on killing her off just yet.
Jeremy remains hot. Call me, Steven R. McQueen.
Looking forward to seeing what they do with Matt and the Sheriff. This is actually interesting stuff!
The ending made me super angsty because it looks like we're getting closer to the inevitable Damon/Elena romance. NOOOOOOO PLEASE NOOOOOOOOO. And to think that I wasn't initially against that! Way back in S1 when it looked like he might have actual character development! But he's still the same guy he was, and the preview for next week's episode make him look like he's just doing the same thing over again--"OH IT'S SO ANGSTY BEING MEEEEEEEE. NOW I'LL RIP A FEW GIRLS' THROATS OUT AND THE FANGIRLS WILL WOOBIEFY ME." Seriously, somebody needs to sit the writers down and make them watch Series 3 of Being Human to show them how to write a vampire character.
+ I have yet to see Community. Honestly, if it weren't for my mad love for Troy, I might have given up by now? This season is a major slump, especially compared to how much I enjoyed the first season. I keep hoping they'll recover. And true, there are moments of brilliance (YOU CAN'T DISAPPOINT A PICTURE!!!!), but this season is missing some of the luster. It makes me sadface.
