TV at 8 O'Clock

Man this has been quite a week for network censors, I mean they must of all wandered off and got collectively high in a back room. I'm not complaining, because it was extremely amusing to hear/see!

The Vampire Diaries - Damon get's away with a "dickhead" last week, and this week makes overt allusions to having sexed up his brother and their vampire ex-girlfriend.

Modern Family - Dylan comically stalks his teenage ex-girlfriend and insists "I love your ass!"

Community - Troy lets us know he has "the weirdest boner".

I'm blushing 12 year old apparently, so each incident kind of surprised me. Kind of like Buffy and Spike and the zipper sound effect.

Great Balls of Fire!

The Vampire Diaries is so fucking awesome in ways I can't quite believe that I need to make lists!


1. Vervain party favors for all Elena's friends, FINALLY!
2. I started screaming from the Pizza Guy in a HOODIE scene.
3. Incesty Hoyay Brother Banter - "You're pathetic when you'r fishing." "And you're transparent when you're deflecting." Burn. "Don't you have....*school*?" Bigger burn?! Hee.
4. Bonnie Threatening Damon, Caroline schooling Matt, Elena fighting off Noah/Pizza boy Vampire..sistahs are doing it for themselves!
5. She LOOKS like Kath-ER-ine...hee.
6. Ben McKittrick, bartender, crazy hot/charming vampire AND Tom Cruise look a like (coincidence or conspiracey?), cruelly using Bonnie just for her grandmothers gremoire.
7. Pizza Vamp rocking the Scream action, "Hellooo, ELENA!" OMG, I am scared!
8. Now he's on the fuckin ceiling, I am screaming like a girl!
9. Twee Ana is a VAMPIRE, and she admitted she was a stalker, right after I thought: dude you're a stalker, and Stefan explained that vamps like a good stalk/hunt as much as the kill. Well played, SHOW, well played.
10.Stefan swing dancing for his girl, killed me with the cute. Like Dido, he's no Angel.
11. Nina Dobrev is my new girl crush, she is so cute with her pigeon toed walking/running, her gorgeous hair that is not extensions internet!
12. Caroline continueing to be a foot in mouth bitch, but a really good girl friend and girlfriend!
13. MATT, all episode benefit from MATT!
14. The set up the introduction of Papa Salvatore!!! I want to see Papa Salvatore!!!
15. "Trust me, I'm your brother." And people say Damon is the evil one. Oooooh.
16. Go Team Salvatore! Them working together to fight off the new vampires, and protect Elena in particular? So awesome. "I got this..." Hee.
17. Okay seriously I love that Jeremy, was all Oh Hai, you're a stalker, I know this because I used to stalk my hook up, who was also..wait WHO AM I HERE? I think he's totally going to remember/find out what Damon/Elena did to him re: Vicki and be back on the hard stuff like THAT.
18. Did I mention Matt/Caroline's kiss? Kisses? SWOON. DIE.
19. Oooh Alarics wife is Elena's mommy, maybe that's why Damon snacked on her in the first place (beause she was a Pierce, not becasue he know she was Elena's mommy, obvs he doesn't know that)
20. Bonnie/Caroline's hair/outfits, so cute!

Aww

Evil will always conquor Good, because Good is Dumb.

Hells Bells - S/B in this are so adorable, she's happy because she's SEEING him, she's happy he's trying to make her jealous, and she IS jealous, and did I mention how CUTE they are? Xander get's to help Buffy kick Demon ass? He comes clean to Anya that he is not ready to marry her? OMG I really do love this episode, but Willow's thing about aching for Anya, OMG fuck off Willow you lying bitch. Yay D'Hoffryn for luring Anyanka back to the dark side!

Normal Again - y'know in a weird way this makes me like Joyce/Hank more. Because it means they were not oblivious, it means they were aware/concerned. Fun AU mindfuck, and also boys likes toys..three pathetic men who like playing with toys. Just sayin'. Oooh also I love that when she's with Spike he knows what she "likes" when it comes to recovering form a night slaying beyond just sex with the love her young life. Oh and the Scoobage in this episode is wonderful, she's finally trying to tell Willow where she's *at*, but she doesn't really hear it. Yay, more Xander being useful and FUNNY, I altered his reality, he really is my boy.

Entropy Wow, I don't hate W/T in this, we see more of them getting together here than we did the first time. Sharing a room with someone you are FRIENDS with. How am I about to take this seriously when in Britain there is fifteen year old fucking/rimming??!. Aww, Spike wants a 'numbing' spell in comparison to Xander w/Cordy who wanted a love spell. I love that all our empathy is supposed to be with Spike and Anya, uh hello Buffy and Xander jerks much? I especially love that Spike = solace is continued with Anya, right before he crosses the ultimate line. The main bad part of this ep: Tara and Willow reunited as FRIENDS! But heh, she's gonna die post-coital!!

Seeing Red Hee I love the look on SMG's face when she fingers the AF's me thinks that wasn't so much with the acting! Again with the not minding W/T, I mean I MIND, but not like the full throttle meh of S4 and the active hate of S5. See S6 ROCKS so hard. Kill her Warren kill her so much! Xander incest not that sexy? Um...... I don't think I'll ever be cool with the AR as writing choice, but then I've never been big on souls w/ Angel or Spike so at least I'm consistently like BULLSHIT!!! Is it wrong that I laugh each and everytime I watch Tara get shot? I didn't think so.

Villains Heh, Dark Willow. I missed Willie in the Demon Bar scene. Heh one of my big problems with this ep, I can't buy that Vengeance Demon's are less powerful than Witches. Here's
the beginning of Miss Direction City. Meh, souls are stupid. I DO love the cheesy ass soul resotoring Demon. Hee.


Two To Go Aww, Demon do-gooder Anya, I choose to believe it's just to fuck with Dark Willow, not to help her. Meh. Of course I love that they give Buffy's Spike's dialogue from Becoming II. "I don't want to hurt you. Doesn't mean I won't." Aww. Giles, and ba dass scary Giles. And Clem!


Grave Whatever else this episdoes failings, Xander gets to save his friend and the world, and it makes me cry. Also Emma must have special powers to look that cute in a peter pan collar. Ooh I also liked that it's one of the first Big Bad fights they've had in the day light.

You always hurt the one you love.

Double Meat Palace - Yeargh, by all accounts I should love this episode (aww cheesy monster show I do usually love you), but it consistently bores me. I think outside the obvious pull of the S&B scenes, Willow is my favorite part of this episode, though mostly for EAA. I think other than Andrew she was one of best recurring tertiary characters, I love that we see her become her mother essentially. OTHO seeing Buffy's cute short hair has made me decide I'm going to emulate that cut next time I hit up the hair dresser.

Dead Things - Yeah I think this episode is all kinds of brilliant, as it's like a compressed version of the season to that point, both for Buffy's arc and that of the Trio. We see good, the bad, and a whole lotta ugly between them. We see how deeply Buffy loves him, how hard she wants to reject being a girl who loves a thing like him, most powerfully of all how she trusts him. That door sex scene, OMG, so great. And regarding the Bronze sex I feel compelled to point out Spike never says you belong in the dark with me, he says you always end up in the dark with me, and you belong in the shadows, which is different. Lord her break down with Tara still kills me.

Older and Far Away - Yeah I know I just said DMP was boring, and I'm not even gonna TRY to sell anyone on this episode being "good", but I honestly enjoy it even GET OUT GET OUT GET OUT. I love that Spike/Buffy can be so casual together, even after what happened in DT, that she wants him to be there, that cute guy Xander is setting her up with is cute and yet never seems to register with her. Of course Clem! I like the call back to the Twilight Zone thing, not letting them the comparison of Dawn to that psycho little boy. Anya calling Willow out on all the addiction crap. Backbone Tara. It hits my cheese-a-rific buttons just right.

We interrupt this already behind schedule Christmas Movie Bracketology to cater to one of my personal and favorite past times, ergo salaciously speculating about whom in Hollywood Clive Owen has or has not fucked (on train, in the rain...), inspired by this rather adorable and chemistry filled photo shoot with Julia Roberts. Yeah I'm not one of those people who pretends like I don't LOVE that kind of smut, though I think Clive mostly sticks to civilians in subway stops.

I LIKE it from the can.

This Turkey Day Weekend managed to be surprisingly rejuvenating and relaxing. Maybe it was the wine, but even though there was subtextual drama threatening, none of it bubbled over. I got to spend some quality time with River, and I taught both her and Victor (a young kid my brother has taken in for the time being) how to drive a stick shift, we went shopping on Black Friday, and I dragged her to a screening of New Moon, which I liked more than I thought I would, but was still just kind of...there.

We had a fairly traditional spread roast Turkey, Granny's green beans in onion sauce, mashed potatoes, candied yams, stuffing, cranberry sauce FROM THE CAN, a lima bean/corn/onion/cranberry succotash, a chocolate cream pie, and a pumpkin-walnut bundt cake. This year the post-dinner Family Viewing movie of choice: Smiley Face, with everyone debating the relative merits of it's drug experience portrayals in contrast to Pineapple Express. Opinions were disturbingly split, why I have no idea since precisely ONE joke in PE worked for me in terms of how people actually act/feel while stoned. Otherwise it's just 2 hours of Seth Rogen being an immature dick, something he does in almost every other Seth Rogen movie. No amount of Franco makes up for the general vibe of nasty unpleasantness.

Black Friday was used mostly for Riv to get a break from the barrel of fun her immediate family is, and I was bad influence Aunt, and bought her a double entendre shirt "I can drive stick", but it's motivation was purely innocent! My mom gave me lots of ideas of what to buy for her for Christmas, so that was useful. I hit up the GAP but so no immediate cuteness I needed to have.

Saturday I ate my weight in candied-cayenne bacon and french toast, and leftovers, and then did 40 minutes of Jillian's Shred and 20 minutes of this weight loss pilates with the CREEPIEST looking instructor eva. Like WHY would anyone want to look like her? It incorporated a lot of dance/plie's and jumping in first position and OUCH omg my legs are so sore.

Sunday I finally had the chance to sit down with my favorite Turkey Day movie, Pieces of April and also Elf, and broke out all the Christmas decorations. Our Association party is Thursday, and then I have a Supernatural viewing party Friday. I'm thinking next weekend should be the bake-a-thon for the holidays. Why do the holiday always feel like a sprint, instead of a nice leisurely cross country race?

A lot like Christmas.....

So my Christmas season is going to rock because beginning Dec. 14th the CW is doing a Vampire Diaries Marathon, two eps a day for 5 days!!!!! Love.

Also, I believe [info]swsa threw down the gauntlet of doing a Favorite Christmas Movie Bracketology, and I'm bored and want to line up some good Holiday Movies. I have a few rules

1) Christmas movie can be interpretive, aka "reminds you of Christmas" in the sense of it takes place at Christmas, or is traditionally shown at Christmas, or is just a TV Special, contains a Christmas song..., also general "holidays" movies count, so Thanksgiving is included.

2) Love Actually? Is fucking BARRED from competition.

So the Nomination floor is open, my own nominations:

Elf, Pieces of April, Miracle on 34th Street, Scrooged, and Die Hard.
