→ TSCC?

First, Kendra Shaw is not to be trusted. Not even with declarations of love being tossed about. Or at least forever togetherness. Whatever. Toe-may-toe. Toe-mah-toe.

Second. No! Ellison! No! AHHHHH!

Third? The three dots? Now that's confusing. Could dying-future-guy have been more cryptic? Ptsch.

Fourth? I loved Cameron in this ep. Loved. All her talk about feelings and things she doesn't understand and not being cruel. But also? When she turned Ellison over? Hahaha. That was so great. I loved the Blade Runner references right from the start. That was so well referenced. I mean, we've all heard that question. (I assume.) But have we ever really thought about the AI who doesn't understand why that's something humans would do? This came at it from an entirely different perspective and I loved that.

Fifth. Sarah's dreams and her visit with the shrink. That was interesting. The whole breast feeding a tortoise thing was weird though. (That's what Cameron was doing in the dream, right?)

And sixth. The whole changing the future thing is scary. Have they made things worse? The things that they have done? Spooky thought.

I'm noticing that my reviews of this show are not so coherent and more about just joy and reveling in it. I like that.

→ I've come to the conclusion, during discussions with an anonymous source, that Taylor Kitsch just isn't very photogenic. He looks nice in a lot of his modeling shots, but with still frames and screen grabs from Friday Night Lights, etc? They just don't do him justice. He's one of those people who looks better in motion than in a single shot. Everything that makes him pop and sizzle on the screen just fades away. Is anybody feeling me on this?

I think Gale Harold can (sometimes be) like that as well.

Random thoughts. I mentioned to [livejournal.com profile] slybrunette on twitter recently that I'm an optimist. Later, I was talking with a friend, and I was noting just how many people I know who are pessimists. It really makes me feel like optimism is kind of a rare trait. I guess if I really think about it, I'm probably equal parts realist and optimist. So, what about you? Optimist? Pessimist? Realist? Some combination of the three? Is optimism actually as rare as it seems to be?

→ I worked extra long hours today and will be for the next few weeks leading up until Christmas. We have almost two weeks off and I don't get paid for them so the only way to have money come January will be to work extra hours now. This should be fun. Who wants to take bets on how cranky I will become? (Having to work a normal amount of hours like normal people? Say what?)

Eyes closed for TSCC bits! :)

Sadly, Taylor Kitsch you are a motion man lol and definitely Gale Harold as well. There are very few pictures of him that do him justice. But he's so damn pretty! Gah!

Me = pessimist. We all know this lol You can have the rest of my glass, it's half empty anyway ;)

But both of them have great photo shoots, IMO. And Gale, in some shots, looks fantastic. But yeah for the most part, no.

I'll take it.

I think Gale looks better in caps than still posed pics though. When he poses, with a few exceptions, I don't think they capture him as well.

I have to get on Twitter, I do, I think I have one already, but still I gotta get on there.

I dunno Gale is a big one for me. Rarely to any pics, caps or posed shots, do him justice. But especially caps IMO. But that's maybe just because I think he's done some really great photoshoots. (But those are really old, the newer ones are less intense, more generic.)

Tweet! Tweet!

You're very right about Gale Harold...I didn't get it until I saw Queer as Folk.

<--realist with a dash of pessimism.

Yeah I know a lot of people feel the same way. They've got to see him in action to know what the big deal is. And hey, it's a VERY big deal!

You are so right about Taylor Kirsch. I never really thought about it, but some people just move sexy, static doesn't do them justice. (It's the way I feel about how some people aren't sexy til they speak, but I never really thought about it in terms of movement before - don't know why.)

Strangely, the older I get, the more optimistic I've become.

Exactly! Their entire presence is just so sexy/dynamic/etc. that pictures can't cut it! I'm not sure what it is but the entire discussion came from someone (not myself) asking "why don't I have any Tim Riggins icons?" Well, because he rarely looks good in them, that's why!

Heh, that's awesome. I feel like in some ways I've always been an optimist. But I definitely feel that more and more these days. Everyone's so negative. It makes me sad for them!

I really dig TSCC, which hubby and I just call 'Rivernator'. Will there be more to the whole tortise thing? I hope so. Or just wierd cancer dreams? I know, I was so mad at Ellison!

J'adore Taylor, photogenic or not. I'm such a cougar.

Hehe, the Rivernator. I don't know! Very strange. Cancer dreams? You think that's what it is? Interesting!

I was seriously mad at Ellison but he thinks this chick is one of the good guys. He thinks she wants to stop whatever is going to happen. And it looks like he's in a for a rude awakening! I just hope that doesn't involve death.

Well he's pretty in that picture! And a lot of his modeling shots that I've seen look great. But for the most part, especially in screen shots, something is different hehe. Like snooks said above. Some people just move sexy. hehehe.

:D
