(more or less) Friday night TV

healingmirthSomehow I managed to miss Project Runway last night. I don't have the brain capacity to remember when which shows are on. I really ought to print out that table I made.
I think I need someone to explain to me why it is that Epperson went home this week. He's routinely had better designs than Logan, and even if they both had train-wreck idea this week, Epperson at least executed his. I mean, I'm happy that Logan's still around, because he's hot, but it makes me uncomfortable when I don't understand the judges' decisions.
Transformers 2 is out on DVD soon. No way am I paying for it, but I might have to Netflix it so I can rewatch Jetfire and make some screencaps.
Aaaaand, Stargate Universe reactions: Okay, are we supposed to know who that random geologist/scientist chick is?
Communications stones make for highly confusing scenes, what with the unannounced flashbacks.
I don't understand the size of the team wandering around in the desert. I don't understand why they aren't still using the flying ball thing. Or multiple flying ball things? I also don't understand why Eli's there, since he clearly has no clue about the science of the rocks. Except to be Rodney and to complain a lot.
Splitting up! Best and worst idea ever! I wonder when the giant sand worm is going to burst through the crust?
Hahaha. "Should" take you back in the direction of the gate.
Oh, Eli asked to come. 1) I don't believe that, and 2) Dumbass.
Anyone else want Chloe's current body to be someone her mom hates? I was hoping for mistress, although that would have been undeniably squicky for both Chloe and the bodyswapper. I could have done without the (alcoholic?) melodrama.
Bodyswapping, still confusing.
That Lieutenant looked like Ford for a minute, there.
Sentient sandstorm is Mystery Planet's version of Smoky the Bear. Er, no. Give a Hoot, don't pollute. What cartoon was that, the owl.
Eli's gonna have some quantity sunburn. He almost matches his shirt.
I'm voting that the giant sand worm eats the argumentative scientist.
It's a little early for Rush to be this fatalistic. I callshenanigans secret agenda.
Okay, I'm already tired of Rush. Can we vote him off the island? Oh look, the scene where they tumble down the hill and discover something?
Can we talk about the fact that Eli is the one on his team wearing the red shirt?
Ooh, a priest. Bring on the Catholic guilt!
Dude. Rush! "Grier shot him." Like he didn't give the order? Fucker. Is his crying fit over his (dead?) ladyfriend supposed to make up for this? Give him depth?
Too bad Lieutenant whatisname isn't all tore up about the fact that he wants to join the military. That could be a much more nuanced conflict. He was the one schtupping the enlisted chick in the storage room, right? Underage pregnancy: Booooring. What sort of wannabe priest sleeps with some girl he barely knows? Maybe he's addicted to sex? Is this his character arc for the season? Screwing anything that moves?
I am a big fan of yelling at soldiers to motivate them. But three minutes? Seriously? And they're not even in sight yet? No way they appear over any of those dunes in time.
They totally jumped onto the ship while it was traveling, didn't they? Er, wait. Is that why it wouldn't connect? Cause it was moving?
Dude. Quality sunburn, Eli.
Obvious song for the montage: nicely done. Too bad the sandstorm didn't follow them back.
And here's the part where Chloe trips and lands on Lieutenant whatisnames mouth. I sort of wanted them to be friends, but I don't have a lot of hope for him.
Wait. What? WTH was that pod thing? Was that Dead Senator Dad's shuttle?
Icon not really related except that I wish I liked any of the characters on SGU. I'll keep watching, though.
ETA: just saw xkcd. I know everyone says this comic is their life (or aspires to say that) but really. This is my life, and my nightmare. Perpetually. Also, penny arcade from a couple days ago, which is thankfully not my life anymore, but used to be, for many years.
